After a summer tour, Gram Parsons hastily wrote a few new songs (“Return Of The Grievous Angel,” “In My Hour Of Darkness”), dug out some old songs (including “Hickory Wind” and “$1000 Wedding” from his time with The Byrds and The Flying Burrito Brothers, respectively) and quickly gathered his band in the studio to record his second album for Reprise Records. After “Grievous Angel” was in the can, Parsons headed to Joshua Tree, California, and into history: Parsons died before the album was released, and “Grievous Angel” became his legacy. His influence can be heard in generations of artists, from the Eagles to Wilco, from Lucinda Williams to Sturgill Simpson. Released in 1974, Grievous Angel ranks among his finest work – a shining example of the cosmic American music he pioneered. With outstanding contributions from guitarists such as James Burton and beautiful harmonies from Emmylou Harris (and Linda Ronstadt on the last track), with tracks such as “Brass Buttons,” “Return Of The Grievous Angel,” and “Love Hurts,” Grievous Angel conveys emotional depth and timeless beauty. Every note feels alive – the pedal steel sighs, the harmonies float, and Parsons' voice is as delicate as ever. The album was ranked #324 in the third edition of Colin Larkin's All Time Top 1000 Albums (2000). In 2012, the album ranked #425 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.
