Product Description
From Amazon.co.uk
On his two early-1970s solo albums, collected here on one disc, Gram Parson lends his fragile, aching tenor to music that's the definition of what he called "country soul". Neither of these titles is quite as strong as the work Parsons had previously done with the Byrds and the Flying Burrito Brothers, but with originals as great as "She" and "In My Hour of Darkness"--not to mention backing from Emmylou Harris and the core of Elvis's early-1970s band--both GP and Grievous Angel still stand as country-rock classics. --David Cantwell

Another Crown Of Jewels,
By A Customer
This review is from: GP / Grievous Angel (Audio CD)
This stuff is great!I was one of the idiots who didn't give this guy enough attention. I always loved the Byrds Sweetheart Of The Rodeo album, but never connected Gram as being the reason the vocals/sound was so excellent. These 2 albums are just as great as the Sweetheart stuff if not better. you definitely want this for your own self indulgence

Two slices of heaven on one compact disc,

This review is from: GP / Grievous Angel (Audio CD)
Who's to say what Gram Parsons could have achieved had he lived, but on this CD, the listener gets to hear some of the best American music ever recorded. "GP" and the posthumous "Grievous Angel" are two of the best albums of the '70s, they flow really nice, and are bolstered by the integral harmonies of the young Emmylou Harris (Gram's voice, obviously deteriorating even at 25/26, couldn't have made the albums work all by itself.) And that playing- I'm no fan of Elvis, but his band really cooks. You know, Gram just might be the next Robert Johnson, belatedly remembered so long after his premature death, then affectionately remembered for eternity.

True legend,
By Jake Z "holden84" (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: GP / Grievous Angel (Audio CD)
Gram Parsons was a true visionary artist in my opinion. GP is his first solo album, originally released in 1972. Here it is coupled with his 1973 album GRIEVOUS ANGEL. On GP, it opens with the swinging country number "Still Feeling Blue". This album also paired him with Emmylou Harris, creating perhaps the best duet partners ever, and an undeniable chemistry. Their vocals really bring the material alive. He helped establish her as one of the most distinct and gifted vocalists. They sound especially great on "We'll Sweep Out The Ashes In The Morning", and "That's All It Took". The standout tracks though are the beautiful "She" and "A Song For You", which are very understated and having a southern soul sound to them which he made his own.GRIEVOUS ANGEL is a good album, not as good as GP in my opinion but it's still a great one. He died before he would see the release of it however. An immediate standout is "Love Hurts", with Emmylou Harris, this is the best version I've heard of this song, there is an understated beauty to it. They also sound great on the ballad "Hearts on Fire". Other highlights include "Hickory Wind", "I Can't Dance", "Brass Buttons" and the poignant album closer "In My Hour of Darkness". If you are interested in Gram Parsons, this is definately the CD to pick up. It has some great moments throughout, and really all the best solo material he's ever done. A fine album. The albums flow well together.
