yeah, don't get me wrong. i like this album and the burritos stuff a bunch. just weird reading about how he was really a non-entity to a lot of people at that time. like an "oh is that guy still alive?" kinda thing. but, you know, its 1969! he wasn't taken seriously by a lot of people. the myth came later.

listenin to this bitch right now
― max, Thursday, 19 November 2009 21:18 (fourteen years ago) link
there's an early - prob international submarine band era - vid clip of gram performing on a boat - so he's prob 'luxury liner', really can't remember - where he does this terrible, i mean just awful, camp jagger impersonation, kinda punctured the myth a bit for me, for a while
wait are you talkin about this "older guys" clip? i have to admit to thinking it's sort of great. goofy, but great.

banjo on pretty boy floyd, yes. is that mcguinn playing or is it a sparkly nashville session dude.
― tylerw, Tuesday, 19 October 2010 21:27 (thirteen years ago) link

its john hartford, he used to be on the smothers brothers show and had hit with "gentle on my mind"

Not to get all ilm up in this but I do prefer the alternate take of "you're still on my mind" to the album version
― buzza, Tuesday, 18 December 2012 06:09 (eleven years ago) link
Banjo mandolin action on pretty boy Floyd always gets me
― buzza, Tuesday, 18 December 2012 06:10 (eleven years ago) link
This went into regular rotation with me when I picked it up for a buck in 2006 and it's never actually gone away, and yet it always feels like this album I'm recently getting into - always fresh, always familiar. "100 Years" was my favorite for the first few years; since I picked up a booze habit it became "You're Still On My Mind." Thanksgiving this year included a 2 AM, everybody in a deep pleasant full-tummy buzz zone; someone had a guitar and we all fell into harmony for "You Ain't Goin' Nowhere." Feel-good music at its best, for me.
So, uh, should I check out their other records one of these days?

Notorious is my faveDr Byrds the most underrated

Was hoping for burrito bros after but beggars banquet not too shabby
― buzza, Tuesday, 18 December 2012 06:32 (eleven years ago) link
the alternate takes of p much everything on SOTR are better imo! gram's voice is better suited to the stuff. roger was admittedly trying to sound like him on the album takes anyway
