Unless you can dig up some old Starday compilations from the 60s, which
regularly featured old Buck recordings from his pre-Capitol days on small
labels such as X and Pep, you're going to have to get your early Buck from
(*gasp!*) b-o-o-t-l-e-g sources.

Shea has already reserved room No. 8, where Parsons overdosed 25 years

Everything evil you've ever believed about
the record biz is true, according to this, at least.

Oh, it's legit alright...just read "Hit Men" which confirms everything in

What exactly is a B-Bender? A drink? Guitar? Style of playing the B-string
on a guitar? Early version of the wonderbra?
By the way, is the G. Parsons to which "Drug Store Truck Drivin' Man" is
co-credited Gram or Gene?

Of course, Steve, opinions are totally subjective. On the whole I found the

According to the All (Knowing) Music guide, Clarence White participates
inevery Byrds album from Younger Than yesterday to
Farther along. However,he's not an official
member until after Sweetheart. So, here's myquestion: If
he's just a session until Easy rider, what songs does he

It was Leppo.
He mainly stood in the back. He couldn't play guitar,
but he knew how to have a good time, in Hamburg that was more
difficult.

Brooks is already pretty bluegrass-friendly, what with being the
only personin the world able to reunite the Newgrass Revival g,
and he carries one ofthe best bluegrass bass players and singers around
in his band, even if sheonly sings and doesn't play bass therein.

Read Dreaming Out Loud for a blow by blow account of his
obsession for control, to the point where he was making so much moeny and
had everyone at the label in a strangle hold, there was very little left
(moeny or time) for the other artists on the label.
Gotta great story about that, heard
So who gets more royalties, Mark Farner or Mickey Dolenz? (he sucks
