Gram Parsons, Rock 'n' Country for you Fools

     Gram Parsons was mysterious and also his genius. If you don't know who he is, he was an integral part of the Flying Burrito Brothers and The Byrds. He was only with The Byrds for one album but is believed to be responsible for their change in sound on the Sweetheart of the Rodeo album.

          Throw on some Byrds or Flying Burrito Brothers and write a whiskey soaked song about love lost. Have a radical day and stay off drugs.
