george jones is the fuckin man...his version of peace in the valley is completely amazing.
i would imagine this is the version GP probably heard and decided to fuck up to end the track hippie boy off the first burrito bros lp.
how you feel about the burritos Uh Oh?
I was a huge Byrds fan growing up. To the point of acquiring a Rickenbacker 12 string with finger picks at the age of 16. That being said, Chris Hillman was my favorite (less neurotic than McQuinn) due to his weird approach to the bass in the earlier years and his influence on the group from 1967 onward. He ended up in FBB (alongside Byrds drummer alumnus Michael Clarke) cowriting so many of the songs with GP. I was a fan by default, love them. The albums without Gram are still good, but not of the same caliber as the ones with.
GP’s life and untimely demise is such a strange event. Still draws attention and wonder today.
Edit: Forgot to mention Gram’s stint in the Byrds! D’oh!
Sweetheart of the Rodeo is an awesome album.
Here is an amazing Hillman penned song. Furious passive aggressive McQuinn solo and all.
