  • Tracklist
  • The first stop for the musician, who is now considered a co-founder of the country rock genre, was the International Submarine Band, whose only album "Safe At Home" was produced by Lee Hazlewood. Due to a lack of success, the band soon broke up, and Gram Parsons became a member of the legendary Byrds in 1968, with whom he produced the legendary album "Sweetheart often the Rodeo, which is celebrated today as one of the first country rock albums and was significantly influenced by Parsons

    After a few months Gram Parsons left the Byrds and formed the Flying Burrito Brothers together with ex-Byrd Chris Hillman. In 1969 the debut album "Gilded Palace of Sin" was released, which was not really successful commercially, but had a great influence on other musicians, among them the Rolling Stones

    Gram became friends with Keith Richards, whose passion for drugs he shared, and spent a lot of time with the Stones. Keith Richards got to know different country styles through Gram Parsons, songs like "Wild Horses" would certainly not have appeared in the Stones' songbook without him. Gram then only half-heartedly participated in the second album of the band Burrito Deluxe and was subsequently fired because of his unreliability caused by his drug addiction

    In 1971 he moved back to Los Angeles, where he put together his own band, the Fallen Angels the Fallen Angels and chose the then unknown Emmylou Harris as his duet partner. A year later, his debut album "GP" was released. A short live tour followed and in late summer 1973 the recordings for "Grievous Angel", which was released 4 months after his much too early death in 1974.
