Gram Parsons - The Complete Reprise Sessions by by Eric Nielsen This genius died of a drug overdose (cocaine and heroin were his favorite but they say he died from Tequila and Morphine. He hung out with Keith Richards) at 26 fucking years old. His body was stolen by his roadie and manager and cremated in Joshua Tree where a plaque commemorates the spot. An American classic, singing like a man in his 40's his songs resonate with life experience and pain. He had experience in the Flying Burrito Brothers and the Byrd's (after David Crosby was nixed) His solo career consisted of playing and recording Emmylou and James Burton (Elvis). He sings A Song For You as if he was the master. So gentle and confident and gorgeous. What a sweetheart. There's also very heavy doses of country bouncing, fiddle, and some silly lyrics that sound like great Willie Nelson. Sometimes these songs can drag on but when one hits you in the gut all you remember is where you are when you come out of it.
