Yeah, you can't deny Clarence White or Gram Parsons' influence on Country Music. The Byrds were the first of the Country Rock (Rock sub genre) bands that tried to break into Country Rock (Country sub genre). As I said before they failed. Gram Parsons would try again with The Flying Burrito Brothers, but wouldn't have much success here either. The first to do so, I'd say would be, Dwight Yoakam back in '86. I honestly can't think of another Country Rock (Rock sub genre) artist that has totally broken into Country Music.
