	Gene Parsons - Music Downloads - Online
		Parsons was born in Los Angeles on September 4, 1944, and grew up mostly in the Mojave Desert.
		Parsons stuck around until 1972, with high points including the albums The Ballad of Easy Rider and Untitled, and then left for a solo career.
		In 1974, Parsons took a break from his solo career to join another groundbreaking country-rock group, the Flying Burrito Brothers; he appeared on 1975's Flying Again and 1976's Airborne before a wrist injury forced him to take several years off of music.

	Gene Parsons - Triste article - This Byrd Has Flown
		Gene Parsons is a singer, a multi-instrumentalist, a songwriter, an innovative engineer, a nascent author, a fervent environmentalist and a former member of the Byrds and Flying Burrito Brothers.
		Gene Parsons introduced former colleague Gib Guilbeau's 'Your Gentle Ways Of Loving Me' to the band, but wasn't he disappointed that he didn't get to sing the song?"I was just glad to have one of Gib's tunes recorded by a major band.
		Gene Parsons was not unduly worried by McGuinn's attempt to revivify the Byrds corpse, as the same year saw the release of his first solo album Kindling.

		Meridian Green’s association with Gene Parsons began in 1986, when Parsons was still machining all of the parts for his StringBender mechanism by hand, except for the unit’s pull hub, which, due to the complexity of the machining required, he farmed out.
		Parsons’ original mechanism requires that the guitar be routed, and then all of the parts installed into positions carved into the wood of the rout — a complex and labor-intensive procedure.
		White and multi-instrumentalist Gene Parsons fashioned a steel guitar-inspired mechanism that raised the B string a whole step when downward pressure was applied on the strap, tweaking and modifying their invention until it was stable and consistent.

	Aint No Beatle, Aint No Rolling Stone (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Gene Clark was too nervous to stay in the Byrds for long, even though the publishing royalties he was receiving were mammoth.
		What Gene Clark and Gram Parsons did between the years of 1966 and 1974 was to parse the difference between Bob Dylan and Elvis, mine the available knowledge of their era, and reinvent the pop and rock format for their peers.
		For an appreciation of Parsons it is important to keep this cultural and stylistic framework in mind, even if his beautiful and roundly magnetic voice seems to deny any notion that he could be at all self-aware or calculating.

	FAME Review: Gene Parsons - I Hope they Let Us In: In Concert
		Gene Parsons made a few records in the Seventies that never really made him famous.
		According to the liner notes, Gene never did a solo concert, and was surprised he had to do one as part of his residence.
		Parsons has a hard time supporting the songs here all by himself, although he has a nice voice and is definitely a great guitar player.

		Parsons is at his best when he sticks to more traditionally oriented country and bluegrass material and instrumentals.
		Simply put, Parsons, though his voice is pleasant and his singing technically competent, is not in the same league, vocally, as great stylists like Roger McGuinn, Gram Parsons, or Don Henley.

	Nashville West
		In late 1965 or early '66, Parsons and Guilbeau were called in to do a session for the Gosdin Brothers.
		Parsons, an amateur machinist, devised an apparatus to pull or drop White's B string, which they built into White's '54 Telecaster.
		Gene Parsons described the session as a "prototype Burrito Brothers."* Discussions never really reached the serious stage before the Byrds left for their South African tour.

	Gram Parsons & Emmylou Harris, 1970-1972
		Like Parsons, Melcher was a charismatic young guy with a major self-destructive streak and a ready supply of money with which to indulge it.
		Parsons and his new wife went to check out Harris at a tiny club called Clyde's in D.C. Only three other people were there to see her, and her repertoire was mostly folk music with only a hint of country.
		Parsons had met Grech when the Sweetheart Byrds were in England; at that time Grech was the bassist in British prog-rock group Family.

	The Byrds
		Gene Clark, Roger McGuinn, and Gram Parsons recorded a small stack of solo records, and I have reviewed a few of those too (see below); Crosby's post-Byrds work is covered on the CSNY page.
		Just as Gene Clark's solo efforts one-upped the Byrds' early attempts to fuse Dylan and the Beatles, the Flying Burrito Brothers - originally a partnership between ex-Byrds Chris Hillman and Gram Parsons - put McGuinn's country-rock late 60s "Byrds" to shame.
		Harris and Parsons strum acoustic guitars and sing in easy harmony, with Harris taking the lead on "Country Baptizing." Sincere to the core, they stick strictly with traditional country music conventions but wring every last drop of emotion from each note.

	Being There
		Gene Clark was booted from The Byrds because he didn’t want to fly.
		Parsons called his music “Cosmic American Music,” but if it was made now, it would be called Americana or Alt.
		Returning a bit to their folk-rock roots while still exploring country fare, The Byrds are in top form with Gene Parsons (no relation to Gram), Clarence White and John York all providing their own songs.

		You find yourself applauding "Gene's" sister "Alice" when she opens up to her brother and gives him the advice he so needs but doesn't want to heed because of his deep desire to have a close relationship with his maddening and impossible father.
		Gene tries everything to please his father to gain his approval and his love, but never seems to succeed, leaving him feeling inadequate.

	Nashville West - Free Music Downloads, Videos, CDs, MP3s, Bio, Merchandise and Links
		The genesis of the legendary, short-lived country-rock group Nashville West came in the mid-'60s when multi-instrumentalist Gene Parsons (no relation to Gram) and fiddler Gib Gilbeau, who had been together in a band called the Castaways years earlier, were brought in to do a Gosdin Brothers session.
		Reportedly, White and Gene Parsons were asked to join the Burritos, but stayed on with Roger McGuinn in the Byrds.
		The album, which was recorded on a two-track that Gene Parsons had hooked up to the sound system and microphones at the club, represents an important missing link in country-rock history.

		There are a few records that can be considered birthplaces of what has become known as "country-rock." Two Gene Clark albums, Echoes and Fantastic Expedition, come to mind, as well as the Byrds' Sweetheart of the Rodeo and the International Submarine Band's debut.
		Parsons' drumming has a slightly soulful edge, which predates the Flying Burrito Brothers' experiments by several years.
		One of the best cuts on the album is a cover of "Ode to Billy Joe," which has White and Parsons laying into a groove that is indescribably delicious.
