Why would anyone want that style that knows Gram Parson songs? Oh Well CLiff


Congratulations on your shortlist. I'm a big fan of Gram Parsons music too. Relative to this discussion, I have written songs similar to his style and actually sold an original recording to be included in a Gram Parsons documentary. While I can't pitch that particular song, I may have another one I can.

Encouragement to the forum not to quit writing, that song collected dust for 44 years before it was 'discovered'. The record company that purchased the rights has received 6 Grammy nominations over the years. And, I've netted more in royalties from that song than the entire album it was released on grossed....


Charlie that is great, when is the doc coming out, I would love to see it and sure would like to your song!!!! Cliff Yeah, I like Gram, with Emmy lou and with the Flying burrito bros and the submarine band, he brought country around the rock world. My favorite song of his is the return of the grievous angel, I have a song with that in it. Thanks for the info Charlie Cliff
