It was forty or fifty years ago
A big shot played with time
Mister Walker held the door
And both kept Cord and line
Watched and checked on every single day
Building his own special cars
His very special way
Ooh! The new soft shoe
Ooh! The new soft shoe
And then walking through a southern road
I saw a shoeshine stand
A man was talking to a crowd
Holding slippers in his hands
Don't you know the same thing happens
Each and every day?
Did you ever hear a song
That's hard to even play?
Ooh! The new soft shoe
Ooh! The new soft shoe
Guitar solo
Fiddle solo
Then a color TV broadcast
Snuck from New Orleans
Showed me one more man who spoke
and wore bright blue and green
When you saw him talk his way
Was when he showed his claws
And spoke to people every day
Just to get applause
Ooh! The new soft shoe
Ooh! The new soft shoe
Gram Parsons (Ingram Cecil Connor III; 5 gennaio 1946 – 19 settembre 1973) è stato un cantautore, chitarrista e pianista statunitense considerato uno dei pionieri del country rock. Nato a Waycross, Georgia, Parsons ha trascorso la sua infanzia in diverse città degli Stati Uniti prima di trasferirsi a Los Angeles negli anni '60. Iniziò la sua carriera musicale come membro della band The International Submarine Band, con cui pubblicò l'album "Safe at Home" nel 1968. Nel 1970, Parsons si unì al gruppo country rock The Flying Burrito Brothers, contribuendo a definire il sound del genere con album come "The Gilded Palace of Sin". Nel 1973, Parsons intraprese una carriera solista e pubblicò l'album "Grievous Angel", considerato uno dei suoi capolavori. La sua musica era caratterizzata da un mix di country, folk, rock e psichedelia, influenzato da artisti come Bob Dylan, Hank Williams e The Byrds. Parsons morì a soli 26 anni in circostanze misteriose, lasciando un'eredità musicale significativa che ha ispirato generazioni di musicisti.
