OK, so he was a rich boy slumming his way through the rock 'n roll underbelly of the late '60's/early '70s. So he drove up to his band's gigs in a limo, when they were still playing dives... So he died from an over-dose like so many other rock stars of the time. So he was one of the first to combine country music with rock...
None of those things support him necessarily as a great voice of rock 'n roll, instead, they might disqualify him in some quarters. Yet he still managed to produce quite a body of work.
I just got my hands on the Rhino remastered 2 CD set "The Gram Parsons Anthology", remastered by the usual Rhino suspects--Bill Inglot & Dan Hersch, which means it sounds GREAT!
This 2001 set has all you'd really ever want from him. There's a movie in the works about his life, you can still be there on the ground floor before it comes out. This set is really GREAT!
P.S. Trawlerman, I know you are a big Gram Parsons fan, but have you heard the new Mark Knopfler (Dire Straits) song: the Trawlerman’s Song? This is on his latest, Shangri-La, it made me think of you... Anyway, thumbs up on this set!
