The Last Thing on my Mind - Clarence White / Tom Paxton

Great version of Tom Paxton's "The Last Thing on my Mind" performed by Clarence White with Herb Pedersen, Byron Berline, Lee Sklar, Roger Bush, Ed Green, Roland White (brother) and Ry Cooder (!!).


"The Last Thing on my Mind" was released in 1964 by Tom Paxton and has been covered by many. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Last_Thing_on_My_Mind. This is one of Paxton's live versions (warm in the studio when you knit your tie tight).


..and an interesting clip of the Carter Family's version from the warm-up for Johnny Cash's "St. Quentin".

Gram Parson's Nudie Suit

My dear friends, this is quite a strange clip. But this is actually where Gram's Nudie Suit jacket was in 1989/90. I guess it's somewhere else now (country rock museum down there in Tennessee ?)



Nudie made some of the greatest suits ever. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nudie_Cohn . 

F.ex. Chris Hillman's suit.

Hotel California: LA from The Byrds To The Eagles - Documentary

Check out the BBC Four documentary "Hotel California: LA from the Byrds to the Eagles".


When driving through Los Angeles late May this year (2012) we passed the Troubadour and I got a shot from the car. Unfortunately we were not lucky to stop and visit the old club. Troubadour resides on 9081 Santa Monica Boulevard, West Hollywood, and first started up in 1957.

George Jones and Tammy Wynette - Southern California

You always said someday you'd go to live

(In Southern California)

And me I'd stay right here in Tennessee

You always talked about the better days

(In Southern California)

But if you'll stay in Tennessee

I promise there'll be better days with me
