A great innovator whose brief time on earth left an indelible mark on country-rock. And, of course, on Joshua Tree.

There are people who sing well enough alone, but when those 2 voices combine, they complete each other and make something magical. Gram & Emmylou had that. I gotta go run some errands; first thing on the stereo will their version of Love Hurts (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bj8qnzw)

Their version of Love Hurts is one of my all time favorites. And I've always loved Gram's music. First time I heard Sweetheart of the Rodeo it blew my mind; I was a Byrds fan, and it was totally unexpected. I was a cosmic country rock fan from then on. From time to time I like to spend a few hours studying the history of that music; and for me, Gram is the big influence. His spirit, vision, and heart moved the music into wonderful new directions.
Billboards and truckstops passed by the grievous angel,
And now I know just what I have to do
