Songwriters & Music Lovers:
"Streets of Baltimore" is a heavily covered country song written by Tompall
Glaser and Harlan Howard in 1966. Country artist Bobby Bare was the first to
record the song, and released his Chet Atkins-produced version in June 1966;
the Glasers recorded theirs in September 1966. Gram Parsons’ (born Ingram
Cecil Connor III) version of the song was featured on the HBO series The Wire,
which is set in Baltimore. Parsons also recorded the song on his album GP. For
myself, I learned this song from bluegrass artist Charlie Moore from his cassette
“Avery County”. This song appeared on my CD Acoustic Inventions:
