COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Weave Me a Tale, Gram submitted by Caser on December 14, 2010, 6:35pm Gram Parsons has long been on my list of cult music heroes that I should really get around to listening to someday. So as the end of the year rolled around and I grew tired of compiling my top tens list, the time seemed right.

This guy can tell a great story, something I've always admired and sought out in country music. From one night stands in "We'll Sweep Out the Ashes in the Morning" to being ditched by his girlfriend for "The Streets of Baltimore," each song captures complex emotional responses to trying situations, something not found in most top-40 country.

His duets with Emmylou Harris reveal the warmth of his raw timbre that I never noticed in his work with The Flying Burrito Brothers, as he's contrasted by her sweet, soaring tone.

I don't think I'd recommend these records to someone who avowedly hates country music, but if you've been drawn to bands like Wilco, The Byrds, The Band, or Big Star, there's probably something here for you.

classic submitted by shannonwait on August 3, 2018, 11:08pm Gram is truly something special. His voice isn't the most perfect but it reaches out and grabs you and his emotions really come through. His duets with Emmylou are transcendent. Hickory Wind is just lovely.

Nice submitted by maywang on July 22, 2021, 7:34pm Cool CD. People who loathe bands shouldn't listen to this, otherwise it is fine.
