I have always liked the Byrds and I bought their first album in 1965. "I'll feel a whole lot better" was my favorite song but I had never heard it sung live until last year at Edna's when Joe Hand sang it. I like the Tom Petty version as much as the original.

As far as Gram goes, I guess I will stick with my Youtube version of "Sin City".

I gotta get me a Nudie suit like those guys.
It’s indoors, but it won’t be loud at all. The acoustic guitars won’t even be amplified. No drums. Quiet bass.

That song is so beautiful that it brings tears to my eyes as I play it on slide guitar. It’s an honor to be able to do that.
Here is Gram Parsons himself singing it. (However, it’s lip-synched. The bass player, Chris Ethridge, who co-wrote the song, is pretending to play drums. The great Sneaky Pete Kleinow on pedal steel. He’s in the Steel Guitar Hall of Fame.

Thanks for pointing that out.
