It was said in Ben Fong-Torres' book 'Hickory Wind' that when Gram sings the line "hallelujah," if you weren't a religious person, it would make you one. All of Gram's songs are sung with sincere conviction which is what makes them so great.

Plus an interview of the song's meaning. Images include old Florida and Georgia around the early 1900's - farmers, migrant workers, and southern homes.
This song is used to open the Fallen Angel DVD.
This song is for you Mandy.
Combination of Ray Cooper's "A Drug Score Pt. 1" & the Youngblood's "Get Together" from Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas. Narrated by Johnny Depp as written by Hunter S. Thompson. Enjoy the trip!
One of my favorite songs from QMS. They are a great acid rock band to come out of San Francisco in the late 60's.
Take another hit of fresh air in the morning.

Enjoy the shaman perform before his amused crowd. "Television bleeding like the harvest moon."
The Doors: Jim Morrison, Ray Manzarek, Robbie Krieger, John Densmore
From his days with the International Submarine Band.
Listening to Gram's music, it's obvious he probably was lonesome in some ways. He lost a lot in his life that was dear to him and had his own struggles to contend with.
Mandy, thanks for the suggestion!
1) Gram speaks on the label of being (or in his case, not being) country rock
2) What is the story behind "A Song for You"
3) What is the story behind "A New Soft Shoe"

Gram Parsons and the gang sing an old Hank Williams tune at the Avalon Ballroom, 1969. Photos are mostly of south Florida during the 50's and 60's (some belong to Don Boyd). Enjoy!
