OT: The Music Thread: Part IX - RIP Kris Kristofferson

[Number8]

What a tragedy this band became.

Come and Get It has always been one of my favorites, going back to being a kid.

No kidding on the tragedy part. Just a complete and total explosion. Extremely sad.

Their hits were perfect power pop/rock. You know you are a good songwriter when Harry Nilsson covers you.

One Harry wrote



Three Dog Night hit No 5 with One in 69



Freddy wrote it



It graduated to No 6 when Nilsson covered it and it went to the Movies and won a Grammy

Harry Nilsson wrote one? I never knew that. I remember that song too. I also remember day after day from the very early '70s. George Harrison produced that.

Sorry about the spelling and the capitalization. Speech to text.

For some reason this is on my brain. I believe it's 84 or 85,

IMO Revolver & Rubber Soul are better than Sergeant Pepper. sue me.

I agree. At least as far as revolver goes. That's my favorite period of their career.

Was inmate Merle Haggard in the audience when Johnny Cash played at San Quentin prison?

Love this song. Merle was so good.

Dead did a cover to it, in their early years. Jerry loved the Bakersfield sound (Merle, Buck Owens, ...) Particularly Don Rich who was Bucks guitarist.


You can really hear it in their cover of Big River.


Edit: I know Big River is Johnny Cash, but Jerry's guitar style is exactly like Rich's
