Nudie Cohen fits ups Gram Parsons

Although Gram is often credited for inventing Country-Rock, Gram was simply the first Country musician to "act" like a Rock star (i.e. Flashy Nudie suites, excessive drink and drugs, etc.) and was often found in the company of the Rolling Stones. Gram was the inspiration of the Country-Rock movement which involved such bands as The Eagles, Pure Prairie League, The New Riders Of The Purple Sage and The Desert Rose Band to name a few.
