Editorial Reviews
Gram Parsons pioneered the concept of a rock band playing country music, playing in bands such as The Byrds, The International Submarine Band and The Flying Burrito Brothers. His work has influenced both country and rock artists such as The Rolling Stones and Linda Ronstadt by "blending the two genres to the point that they became indistinguishable from each other."
Compiled from 1973 studio sessions ‘Grievous Angel' was originally released in 1974, four months after the songwriters death. It was the second solo album from Gram Parsons and is viewed as a successful example of the hybrid between country androck and rollParsons called "Cosmic American Music". In 2003 it was ranked in Rolling Stone magazine's 500 greatest albums of all time.

- Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2025Came as advertised and sounded great!
- Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2017Great songs that sound great on this vinyl pressing. I've been a huge fan of this for years, but never had it on vinyl. If you are a fan of Americana, roots music, alt. country, etc. (Gram hated the term country rock) then you absolutely need this this record and the GP album too.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2019Possibly the best "make me smile" album in my vast collection. What a brilliant genius of a songwriter and singer, too bad he couldn't kick junk...classic, classic album, so good!!
- Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2018A wonderful treasury of Gram Parson with Emmy Lou Harris. It is so tragic that he died from drugs at age 26. He had so much talent. The CD is extremely well produced with multilayers of sweet song.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2014Gram was a great songwriter, but never put out enough music for all of us to enjoy.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2018Listened to the vinyl in college, then the CD and now this SACD puts you in the studio and bar. Takes me back to Minneapolis in the 70s when bar bands were playing a lot of Gram Parsons.

- Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2018One of the greatest losses music ever had, this guy was on the cusp of greatness. I love this collection, and I'm giving it a front row position in the rack.

5.0 out of 5 stars Recommandé par Keith Richards
Sa majesté l'Oncle Keith ne nous fait que du bien. Mais en prime, je lui serai éternellement reconnaissant de nous avoir rappelé que Gram Parsons a existé. Et qu'il existe plus que jamais sur ma petite chaîne.

5.0 out of 5 stars Muy buena reedición
El sonido de esta reedición de Rhino es espectacular, suena muy bien, me ha parecido tan bueno que lo primero que he hecho después de oirlo ha sido pedir el otro disco que también ha sido reeditado. Muy recomendable.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Truly Fallen Angel
All those old enough to hear about, or remember, the tragic occurrences at the Altamont Speedway in California may also remember the words and music of Gram Parsons. Indeed the culture and times that surrounded the dismal spiral of death at Altamont forms an appropriate metaphor for the life and death of Gram Parsons. The Flying Burrito Brothers opened there – Gram died not real far away from there a few years later. The sort of biographical documentary of Gram Parsons found on ‘Fallen Angel’ is fundamentally chilling in its portrayal of the man who invented country rock – Poco was in there too but in a different strain of country music. This docutragedy really is a series of vignettes interviewing those that either knew him best (EmmyLou Harris, Chris Hillman and Keith Richards) and those that temporarily surrounded him. Are there downsides to this creation - yes - some of the interviews are tedious and manufactured however the focus remains on the life and music of Gram Parsons - a gloriously tragic figure.
The film more of less follows the life of Gram Parsons from his southern roots to his times spent with the International Submarine Band, The Byrds on ‘Sweetheart of the Rodeo’ and on tour, the Flying Burrito Brothers and finally his own releases. His voice can actually lift your soul and bring goosebumps throughout your body. I really miss who he was what he did. All of the country rock bands that came after – from the Eagles to the some of the stuff done by Kid Rock - all show historical resonance with the music initiated by Gram Parsons. RIP Gram – may you find peace in the Joshua Tree – peace you never could find in your short, bumpy life.

deep soulReviewed in Japan on January 10, 2015
5.0 out of 5 stars エミルーハリスとの恋の果て
エミルーハリスとの恋は誰もが知るところですが、亡き後に出た本作は家族の声を反映してエミルーハリスとのデュエットが大幅にカットされた本人の意向を無視した作品となりました。それでも心に刺さる本作は、録音時の雰囲気をどの曲もが反映しているからに他なりません。本人が採用しようとしていたエミルーハリスとのデュエットはワーナーから1stと本作を含む3枚組で出されたデラックス盤(SACDではないですが)で聴くことが出来ますが、それはそれで名曲と言えますが、奥ゆかしい本作こそ彼の追悼盤としては背景も含めて優しさと悲しみの両面を持った作品として意味があるのかもしれません。
