The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band brought their farewell tour to Bristol this weekend with a set that connected six decades of country-rock history back to the Birthplace of Country Music itself.

Our latest feature explores the music, the history, and the enduring legacy of “Will The Circle Be Unbroken” and an unexpected moment of serendipity in Bristol.

Just a stray thought to piggyback off of my last Gram Parsons post.

I realize how many artists have covered “Love Hurts”, but the best version clearly belongs to Gram Parsons (and Emmylou).

The version on Grievous Angel has that stripped-down, aching country feel that really fits the lyrics of that song.

It’s far less polished than say…the Nazareth version, but way more intimate sounding.

Gram Parsons had a way of making heartbreak sound… almost noble.
