083: Gram Parsons - Grievous Angel (1974)
from Discord and Rhyme: An Album Podcast · host Discord and Rhyme
In this episode, we cover the (short) career of a great country singer (maybe?) who made a few albums’ worth of transcendent country music (except for all the little touches that aren’t country music). Gram Parsons was a polarizing figure, but Ben loves his 1974 opus Grievous Angel - made in collaboration with the golden-voiced Emmylou Harris - and Amanda and John dig it plenty. Along the way, they make a case for why country music is worth your attention, and for why Grievous Angel is a classic example of the genre (mostly) (it’s complicated).Cohosts: Ben Marlin, John McFerrin, Amanda Rodgers Complete show notes: https://discordpod.com/listen/083-gram-parsons-grievous-angel-1974Support the podcast! https://www.patreon.com/discordpodDiscord & Rhyme merch: http://tee.pub/lic/discordpod
