I don't think we have a thread for Gram, so I thought I'd start one. Not sure if we have many fans here, but he is one of my favourite musicians. I have been listening to him a lot lately. He has so many beautiful songs, but I still think Hot Burrito #1 (with the Flying Burrito Brothers) is an example of how raw and vulnerable his vocals could be. This just kills me!

I love the part on the Hotel California documentary where someone (it may be Bonnie Raitt, I can't quite remember) says that Gram obviously had a huge love for country music and that it influenced all of them - he sat them down and made them listen to all of the great country artists (Waylon Jennings, Merle Haggard, etc) until they "got it".
Here are a few of my favourite pics of Gram. I love this first one of him with Keith Richards. He was sweet and gorgeous. If anyone has any more thoughts, pictures, favourite songs to share, please do!
