Wilco - "One Hundred Years From Now" (Gram Parsons cover) video free download

Sounds very much like Matthew Sweet.

Scott Pun

I like it, but not nearly as much as the original. The remaster of Sweetheart of the Rodeo has a version of Gram singing it.

Uwe Rayer

Bob must say a thank for the load. Great and fun.

i think Wilco would actually do a much better job covering this song now, with Nels's tasteful licks on lead rather than Jay's over machismo playing here. the production doesn't have much character either...feels more like a beer commercial jingle than it should. and i say that as a big Wilco fan. if they'd done this tune even just a few years later it would've been much mellower and spacey, and superior. just my two cents.

Steven Davis

as a performer who sometimes covers this song, i have to say i cant decide which version i like better. i think this one, but the other one is essential. (not the byrds cleaned up version) please dont argue.... and thanks to whoever posted this!!

Jason Moore

LOL! They only fill my 'script' every 28 days. That was a pretty good rant if I do say so myself.

LSDpeasantry, this is a year late, but you are a fucking idiot!!! I will assume you don't know a thing about Parsons (because none of you fucking jerks do). This song rocks and is a compliment to the classic original. If Gram was alive, I know he would have collaborated with Wilco even before this cover. How old are you anyway? I guess it dosen't matter because you are a douche-bag with no taste regardless. Yes, I stooped to your level and would go farther down if I could. Idiot!!!

@thevillainable Bummer - it is a great CD. Do you ever check out used CD stores? That is where I found mine.

I bought this cd twice, and it was stolen twice. I cannot find it anywhere anymore, looked on Emilou Harris websites, etc. GREAT tribute album, and there are very few of those. By the way, Wilco was crucified for this version in some circles, but they were true fans of his, and a great band in their own right.

@LSDpeasantry thanks for that opinion... douchebag.

For that particular song it does.

All valid points. Conceding that his drug/booze was a major issue, however he was still a pretty bad drummer. However, if you've got folk/psych musicians playing country it's going to sound different than a dedicated country-rock band. Yes, Chris went along with Gram, and thought the direction was the right choice, yet Roger remained concerned about the Nashville sessions and losing control of The Byrds. Main point being that Wilco's version is hardly soulless or generic.

@BigBoysSocks00 Actually, Gram had A LOT to do with the sound on the 'Sweetheart' album. Roger and Chris pretty much let him take control of that album - that's that album IS A COUNTRY ROCK album! Also, The Flying Burrito Brothers biggest problem WASN'T their drummer. It was Gram being high/drunk ALL THE TIME. Gram's only enemy was himself. And also, it was his ego that destroyed his career and life.

@GoldenSlumbers04 Wilco's version; lame soulless? Wilco; a generic band from the '90s. I think you've commented on the wrong song..... GP wanted to blend the traditions of country with the swagger of rock. The Byrds weren't going to let him, and the Flying B Brothers were hampered by a drummer who couldn't really play (research will show you that he was given the gig because of his look, rather than his ability).

BigBoysSocks00

No way @jszisson. This is how Gram would have wanted it recorded. His vision for his songs could never have been realised with so many egos floating around.

Can't hold a candle to Burritos or Byrds versions
