#326 Gram Parsons – Grievous Angel

Posted on by anoceanroars

Grievous Angel was released four months after Gram Parsons death from a morphine overdose. He was a member of the Byrds and the Flying Burrito Brothers. Parsons has been credited with helping to found both country rock and alt-country. Oh no! Not my favourite type of music.

I can recognise this album for its contribution to music, but it is country music which I hate. I think the vocals of his singing partner Emmylou Harris help me digest it a bit easier. I would think none of the songs would grab me enough to mention them, but maybe “Return of the Grievous Angel” and “Hearts on Fire” did grab me a little. This is the last album of 1974 in the list of 1001 Albums… 6/10.

…and i hate writing about myself. It feels awkward. Or i am a bit awkward and rather not write about it. i have not got a clue where to begin or end… …at this very moment i am a recent graduate of Colorado State University. i live in Longmont, Colorado, which i next to Boulder. Boulder is where all hipsters live. See, this crap is rather boring. i moved here from Budapest, Hungary four years ago, well, actually that is sort of a lie. i was living in Lyon, France one year before i moved to Colorado and before that Hungary. i like to travel or move. i keep moving… i have many interest besides moving: writing, watching, taking, listening and reading (stories, films, photographs, music and books).
