The Story Behind: Gram Parsons - Grievous Angel, Ep 184

Musicians recount the strange and unexpected story behind the making of your favorite albums. 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 the comment thread NOW available on our free Patreon to continue the conversation about this episode and get early access to the weekly show 100% ad free, plus 60+ bonus shows like Song Battle and Guilty Pleasureshttps://www.patreon.com/1001AlbumComplaintsJoin 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.
