Zum Thema Parsons brachte die Stones zu Country:
The myth is that country music entered The Rolling Stones‘ vocabulary thanks to Gram…
„No, no. What about that fantastic live version of I’m Movin‘ On that they did in 1964 or something like that? Keith’s always been into country music. I turned Keith on to Roy Acuff, but he was from this deprived background, living on this island, some place in the North Atlantic [laughs]. You couldn’t expect him to know about obscure country figures – but he was hip to Hank Snow, and that’s pretty hip. I don’t accept at all that this is the point where they got turned on to country music, and it was down to Gram. Everybody was already into that stuff. It was ‚Have you heard this guy?‘, but it didn’t open up any new horizons.“
