It took Emmmylou Harris a long time to get over Gram Parson's if I remember right.
Dr Bob, no doubt you heard the story of Keith Richards introducing Gram Parson to heroin and Gram introducing Keith to country music - Honky Tonk Women- what a bum deal!

Gut wrenching stuff.
Kenny Rogers has a great voice. I'm not a big fan of the Nashville sound, preferring Bakersfield and alt-country, but this is one of my favourites, I love some of the lyrics

In the mirror I saw him
And I closely watched him
I thought how he looked out of place
He came to the woman
Who sat there beside me
He had a strange look on his face
The big hands were calloused
He looked like a mountain
For a minute I thought I was dead
The original Bakersfield Band, Buck Owen and the Buckaroos. This one is from 1966.

First LP I've ever bought, courtesy of Mum's money, was Helpby The Beatles and Act Naturally was the first track side 2 sung by Ringo.
Living in southern Ireland in the early 70s you could walk into a stick and sawdust pub full of farmers, fishermen and their wives and kids,cigarette smoke filling the air.
This would be on the jukebox. Somehow it went well with a pint of beer, wellington boots and a cigarette.

The decay in the closed museum, cracked records, faded photos reflects Johnny's own state of health at the time. June Carter Cash, country legend in her own right and from a family of country legends died three months after the video was made. Johnny died four months after her. The house and museum burned down in 2007 after renovators hired by the new owner, Bee Gee Barry Gibb applied a flammable preservative to the wood.

Another Dead song that's great to play on acoustic guitar-get that finger pickin Merle Travis style for the riff and the song just rolls along beautifully
