#184 Gram Parsons - Grievous Angel

Gram Parsons had a dream of creating and popularizing cosmic american music: a mix of country, rock, and Americana. After a stint in The Byrds he began his solo career strong and had a follow up album (Grievous Angel) in the can, but died tragically before it could see release. The boys discuss tasty pedal steel licks, under-rehearsed yet somehow perfect harmonies, and funeral pacts with outlaw biker pals.Join our Mailing List here: https://linktr.ee/1001albumcomplaintsEmail us your complaints (or questions / comments) at [email protected] Thanks to our guest complainer Scott - drummer for Arby's-rock outfit Ghostbeef - check them out here: https://thechopunlimited.bandcamp.com/album/ghostbeefListen to our episode companion playlist (compilation of the songs we referenced on this episode) here:https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5auOs5sLKsUO9KyN55SCCs?si=4ffd3720034041daListen to Grievous Angel here:https://open.spotify.com/album/6UQujMGmR5MbFsML9amCuN?si=F4Dw42qVTiOr9dhwclo9BgIntro music: When the Walls Fell by The Beverly CrushersOutro music: After the Afterlife by MEGAFollow our Spotify Playlist of music produced directly by us.
