i loved this record  at the time of it's release 

but i've heard too much country music since then to take it too seriously

I don't think his fans liked it too much at the time😀

the song i'm your toy is actually a deliberately incorrectly named cover of a Flying Burrito Brothers song Hot Burrito no 1

well worth hearing but i won't post a video because it has to be heard on a proper stereo 

the emotion of the song the hurt the rawness can't be heard on a computer

bit about the song

Gram Parsons was known to call George Jones the King of Broken Hearts, but on this tune (which he co-wrote with Chris Ethridge), he certainly gave the Old Possum a serious run for his money. Three and a half minutes of glorious misery, "Hot Burrito #1" was the song of a broken man opening up his soul for the woman who has left him behind; it's hard to imagine anyone else blending shame, regret, anger, and troubling memories so artfully as Parsons does as he cries, "I'm the one who showed you how/To do the things you're doing now." Country has always been a music about high emotions, and Parsons, one of the most intelligent artists and insightful enthusiasts the genre ever had, rarely mined the music's melodramatic sorrow deeper -- and with greater effect -- than he did with this song. Elvis Costello, who has never failed to cite Parsons as one of his strongest influences, recorded a fine version of "Hot Burrito #1" on his album of country & western covers, Almost Blue, and if the original has a decided edge, there's no denying that the student learned from his master very well indeed

the record is called Guilded Palace Of Sin one of the best ever record names and one of the most influential records of the 60's

hope i'm not telling you something you already know🙃

Elvis Costello is a walking encyclopedia of music and loves Gram Parsons

 

 

 

 

@keyse1 totally understand why the fans may not have liked this LP - but I love it because it is not too country sounding to me - it is one my fav albums.

Probably your only album with "orgy" in the title too
