This is the kind of music I've been really into the last few months. Country music of the 60's and 70's that took the formula presented to them by their forefathers and reinvented it with the psychedelic, jammy, bluesy and straight up rock of a new era of music. It really is just music that makes you smile and and want to stomp your feet and clap your hands. It's all a product of the resounding genius of the legendary Gram Parsons (although he isn't in this clip, even though he wrote the song and originally sang it), who along with the Flying Burrito Brothers was also a member of The Byrds, and had a pretty kick ass solo career. Long live the country rock of the 60's and 70's, cause god knows its better than anything that gets passed off as country music today. See also: The Allman Brothers Band, The Band, James Gang and Townes Van Zandt, and more recently Seattle's own The Moondoggies.
