The fact that his wife was coming over to the UK to spend their 25th Anniversary together while the band were on tour was the reason I said he shouldn't!<br /><br />JChttp://www.thenewvinylvillain.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815215641735446886.post-35913825080283920612017-04-25T06:20:32.804-04:002017-04-25T06:20:32.804-04:00As CC etc have said this is a great idea.

I obnoxiously wrote 3 comments on Brian's killer post over at JC's place abut the Sugarplastic -- did not suspect there was one with my name on it. It was an honor (an honour) meeting JC and, funnily enough, part of our conversation was whether my wife would kill me or not for suggesting we go up to Glasgow to meet the blogging crew. Wish I could thank you in person, Brian.

It could have been just a vanity project, but he took a lot of care in his interpretations on the album. It's the closer, How Much I've Lied, that I think he really shines on.<br />I went through a Gram Parsons phase - attempting to understand that period where Country and Rock & Roll intersected. His was the music that spoke the most to me from that crowd that included Linda Ronstadt, Emmylou Harris.<br />Oh and I am of the school that believes Parsons wrote the tune to Wild Horses and Keith Richards appropriated it. Parsons never felt wronged it seems, but he deserves his due.Echorichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853063796135973187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815215641735446886.post-63057686544988917982017-04-23T05:01:08.081-04:002017-04-23T05:01:08.081-04:00An album that wasn't welcomed by the hipsters ...An album that wasn't welcomed by the hipsters of the music media, but I loved it because Elvis was allowing folk to discover a whole lot of great country acts.
