Wilco plays a Gram Parsons (Flying Burrito Brothers / International Submarine Band / Byrds) cover This is from a 1999 tribute CD call "Return of the Grievous Angel" on Almo Sounds
@LSDpeasantry hahahahaha, as if "dad rock" is a bad thing? not sure about you but my dad listened to some pretty good rock. it isn't a comparison, it's a tribute. parsons and tweedy are nowhere near the same type of musicians, that's like comparing corn and peanut butter, dumbshit,
I bought this cd twice, and it was stolen twice. I cannot find it anywhere anymore, looked on Emilou Harris websites, etc. GREAT tribute album, and there are very few of those. By the way, Wilco was crucified for this version in some circles, but they were true fans of his, and a great band in their own right.
@GoldenSlumbers04 Wilco produces their own stuff, so you may be right, but this is no different than any other group in the history of rock revamping their songs/covers....Give them more credit, it won't hurt...
@BigBoysSocks00 Music back then was raw, everything Wilco has done that I've heard sounds over-produced and generic. That's just my opinion though.
As far as what Gram wanted to do goes, I don't know I can't speak for him. But I can say his two solo albums were the countriest of all his albums... so that doesn't really fit into your theory that he would've been more like Wilco if he wasn't restrained by the Byrds or Burritos.

Gram would have liked and appreciated the Wilco cover in my opinion.

Bummer - it is a great CD. Do you ever check out used CD stores? That is where I found mine.
