Overcome with the need to keep my audience engaged I realized that there are a few episodes of my old podcast that I could re-post, which deal with songs that most Nezheads should know well. Without bias, I still say that the Second National Band version is the best version of this heartbreaking song. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't check out all the other versions featured here! Listening to this episode ten years later was a little mindblowing. I was bracing myself for some cringey moments, but I was mostly pleasantly surprised. I am a bit forceful in possibly trying to push Gram Parsons down a peg while waving my Nez freak flag and I've since mellowed in that regard. I hadn't yet become his friend and employee. I'm a Parsons fan too and fully recognize his amazing talent and hate that he couldn't get his life together and deliver on all he promised and live to see how much people still love and are influenced by his work. I think my agenda was to level the playing field and give Nez his due props in country-rock history. I've learned first hand that it's easy to love Parsons while Nez is a more acquired taste. But right around this time, due to his triumphant return to the public eye, there seemed to be a positive re-evaluation of Nez's musical achievements and he always seemed taken aback in the many interviews he gave in his final decade, to hear his work praised after assuming he'd been largely forgotten. This is why the First National Band Redux shows were so triumphant and beautiful. Who knew in 2014 what was going to happen? Crikey, that's a loaded question. Anyway, enjoy!.
