this is from this week’s time out (london’s weekly listings magazine)
gram parsons
the gram parsons anthology (rhino)
you only really need 5 albums to get the full gp experience (and 4 of them are available on those 2-for-1 deals) but this gorgeous double disc plus explanatory booklet is undeniably comprehensive + as attractively packaged as one of the cosmic cowboy’s own nudie suits. it contains most of the 2 burrito albums, most of the 2 solo albums, plus choice live cuts, some international submarine band + parsons’ offerings from the byrds sublime "sweetheart of the rodeo". familiar ? sure, but an unadulterated treat for beginners.
