I've been listening to various versions of Hickory Wind on YouTube and may give it a try. However, I like to know a bit about songs I perform and I can't find any information on this one, other than it was written by a blind woman named Sylvia Sammons and not Gram Parsons, although he claimed it initially. What I would like to know is, what is Hickory Wind? Is it like the Mistral in the south of France or some such? Grateful for any information.
