This documentary about Gram Parsons can be watched for free:
I assume most stackers don't know much about him, but he was incredibly influential in the genre of country rock before his tragic death at the age of 26.
He was a member of the Byrd's, and a founding member of the Flying Burrito Brothers.
I forget the story. Didn’t he die in the desert?
I will definitely check this out.
Yep. The Eagles wouldn't exist without him....not to mention he was hanging with The Stones (and heavily influenced them) during their entire "country phase" (Honky-Tonk Women, Wild Horses, Dead Flower, etc)...
I think I'll listen to a little Country Honk and Dead Flowers right now!
