[edit] Major deletion of material

User:PetSounds recently removed a major quantity of material here with no explanation beyond an edit summary saying "fixing up". PetSounds, could you please explain the rationale of your edit? Offhand, I disagree strongly with the deletions, but I figured I'd ask what is going on rather than revert. -- Jmabel | Talk 05:28, July 10, 2005 (UTC)

First, "major" is a bit of an overstatement. The text needed more historical background (how Gram joined and influenced the band and why he left) which it did not have. And also, it is worth pointing out how big a commercial risk they were taking. I re-added the paragraph on the 2003 re-master - that was an unintentional deletion on my part. In any case, the article is improved now. PetSounds 13:44, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

  • I have no problem with any of your additions, it's the deletions I was asking about. -- Jmabel | Talk

[edit] The Notorious Byrd Brothers

According to our article on The Notorious Byrd Brothers, that album was not a big hit at least in the U.S., peaking at only #47. Could someone clarify the difference in tone between this article and the other? Thanks, Meelar (talk) 18:15, July 25, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] The cover

I was in Albuquerque, about a month ago, when I saw an old poster in the lobby of the Howard Johnson's, Sweetheart of the Rodeo by Jo Mora made in 1933 (I just looked that up and found out what it was) and the noticed the graphic in the middle, was the same one that was on the cover this album. I told my friend who I was with "I think I saw that picture on the cover of some old record".--Hailey 02:05, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

The Kevin Kelley link leads to some boxer dud who was not a drummer.

[edit] Parsons vocals

On which tracks to Parsons' lead vocals remain? -GTBacchus(talk) 03:28, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Drug Store Truck Driving Man Lyric

Isn't the lyric, "He's the head of the Ku Klux Klan", not what's written here (leader of). It only seems important because the article actually has them in quotes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.217.166.84 (talk) 15:53, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
