Grievous Angel

I have a sudden urge to head south

Quite the irony here that most of the negative reviews on this album come from people that give five stars to the boring, pablum laced unoriginal pop of the modern era. Without irony. I don't need to defend this work, other reviewers do a better job. I'll just add that Emmylou Harris' addition is nothing less than spectacular. I'll just close with a recommendation from Tyler Mahon Coe - "If You Don't Like Gram Parsons Then Fuck You."

This was good - country is a genre with massive peaks and crushing troughs. This is peak, great lyrics and melodies, some haunting lyrics

pretty cool. i had listened to The Silver Tongued Devil and I right before this and they worked well together

A back loaded album. The first part is good but from the live medley on it is just fantastic. He gets to retain a sort of cool factor because he played in the Byrds and hung out with the Rolling Stones but I wonder if he would have had more success in his lifetime if he had aligned himself with country musicians more. It's not like his sound is that different.

Godfather of AltCountry! Own it!

I've never really taken to Gram but listening to this today it's pretty good to listen to- progressive Country I'd say. Musically diverse and well produced it holds your attention. Emmylou Harris is a major part in this and I'm an instant fan. Shame he died so young.

Classic music

I instantly knew I was gonna like this one. Old country sound? Check. Vocal harmonies? Check. Rock 'n' roll? Check. None of the songs sound like the song before, which I feel like can happen on albums like this. I especially thought the scenery around me while listening to this complemented the sound well. Driving through Chillicothe on a gravel road while pretty tired. The Rolling songs were lively and entertaining, and the softer songs were sweet and captivating. This isn't a country album, but it is folk. I will surely return to this artist.

Really like the country instrumentals, especially the steel guitar parts. I liked this album overall, but I couldn't help feeling something was missing. I'm not sure if it was just the songwriting in general or the production, but something was keeping me from loving this album. Maybe it's the thought that he sounds like a slightly discounted John Denver. I may relisten and change my mind, but I'm keeping the 4 star rating for now.

Great album. Putting aside the myth and legends surrounding Gram Parsons' wild lifestyle. The facts are he wrote great songs, could sing beautifully, and had put together one hell of a backing band - Emmy Lou Harris, Robbie Tut, James Burton amongst other names. Talk about a red hot band! Gone too soon, RIP

This is another one where the songs I like on here I really like a lot but the rest leave me kind of ambivalent. I would say overall I like the blend of country and rock on this album. I also love the sound of his voice with Emmylou Harris'. "Ooh Las Vegas" is probably my favorite on the album. 3* feels much too low, and 4* feels too high. Once again I would love to have a half point system. I'll go with a 4* though because it's nice to find some country on the list that I enjoy.

man released his best album after he died

I generally don’t go for “country” style albums, but this had a surprising number of tracks that I vibed with due to the strong song-writing. “I Can’t Dance”, “Brass Buttons”, and “$1,000 Wedding” are a great three track run, and even the fake “live” recording aspect of “Cash On the Barrelhead/Hickory Wind” didn’t really get on my nerves.

A sneaky one that was more fun than anticipated.

This is a really nice country album. It benefits a lot from the presence of Emmylou Harris, since her vocals are a great complement for Parsons's. Very chill, pleasant country 4/5

This album, like Parsons’ life, seems too short. Released after his death and compiled from various sessions, including a fake live medley, it feels incomplete. With that said, the songwriting, the emotive singing, and the magic mystery of Parsons can’t be denied. All the songs are great, but especially the three Parsons’ penned tracks on side 1: Return of the Grevious Angel, Brass Buttons, and $1000 Wedding. Emmylou Harris’s harmonies are also fantastic and add an additional layer to an already beautiful set of songs. I Can’t Dance and Ooh Las Vegas are solid burners that mix in well with the ballads. It’s not a perfectly executed compilation, but it’s one of the best documents we have for a talent that left too soon.

I wasn't expecting good country music, so this was a surprise. 3.5 stars.

Gram Parsons! 1974! I like “Return of the Grievous Angel” a good amount. I really like the medley and “Love Hurts” is also great. Emmylou feature is a slay. It’s very country but I like the vibes and the twang.

The man can holler really liked a lot of this. Short album too so I wasn't bored. 8/10

Good lyrics. Tangy music.

*{clicks fingers, finger guns}* That's country, alright! I'unno. I guess I just don't hear the "Cosmic American Music"-ness about it that makes it so important. To me it just sounds like early 70's country, which, hey, I can dig. I'll be generous enough to strike it a 4

Good country with some energetic tracks and great harmonies. 4 stars.

Pretty good country music. He harmonised well with the female backing vocalist. Stand-out: I Can't Dance

Sad country, loved emmylou on this

It blows my mind that Gram Parsons was never really considered “country.” This is “country rock.” I think it’s safe to say that all modern country would not exist if it weren’t for Gram Parsons. (Good and bad stuff.) I’ve always like Gram, and this alum was not exception. Super fun songs, good songwriting. It was kind of everything you want in a COUNTRY album.

I managed to listen to this while on a multi day bike ride and it was so relaxing at the end of a day of riding. The first song is great and the rest is fun but I gradually lost enthusiasm as the album went on. Maybe a couple more listens would put this over the top to a 5.

4.5

Digging it.

sleepy but las vegas song was good

Classic 70s country with the perfect amount of comforting twang to the songs

Not a country fan, but mostly modern country. I liked this.

Loved this album

Added to the list of records I'll listen to again. Like the voice, the sound and the duets with Emmylou Harris. The ultimate version of Love Hurts makes this a four. Would give three and a half if possible.

Grievous Angel was the second and final solo album by Gram Parsons, originally released in 1974 after his death. Parsons' short life was plagued with drug abuse and tragedy. However, the musical impact he was able to create during his short life is hard to be ignored. He pioneered country rock and what would become "cosmic country". He was very successful in bridging the hippie crowd with crooner country, albeit in a more modernized form in bands like The Byrds and Flying Burrito Bros. This is the first time I'm listening to any of his solo work and I'm pretty impressed. The addition of Emmylou Harris really makes the album. Sure, it's definitely more in the country vein than country rock but I'm digging it right now. It no doubt had a lot of influence on modern hippie country acts like Daniel Donato and Mapache.

This is a pleasant surprise of country Americana mashup. What sets it above bar are Emmylou Harris’ consistent and lilting harmonies throughout with Parsons voice. Too bad he didn’t have the opportunity to create more music, but this is a great offering.

During Parson's all too short life, he accomplished a lot musically. Along with the Burrito Bros, The Byrds and hanging out with the Stones, Parsons crafted a pair of mighty fine solo albums, including Grievous Angel, which was released shortly after his death. This was the "swan song" for a career that was important and influential for country and rock and for the many musicians that followed. I prefer Grievous Angel to his earlier works, maybe because it's less-country sounding, with finely written songs, a solid song selection and the outstanding contribution from a young, Emmylou Harris, that doesn't hurt either. Many of these songs I've heard covered by other artists, which tell you something.

A little to C&W for more liking, but not a bad album as far as that goes.

Rock/country vibes

Without emmylou, I don’t think I would have liked this as much because the burrito brothers were meh for me. I loved this album. It had lots of fun upbeat songs like I can’t dance. But the slower songs were lovely too. I listened all the way through twice, so it’s pretty up there for me.

I enjoyed this one! Good old country / Americana feel; I hadn't heard of this artist before but I liked the album a lot.

The birth pangs of country rock. Emmylou Harris has the voice of an angel.

Country rock. Lots of vocal layers, fun dobro, good mix of slower and more upbeat

Very good

Unexpectedly great album

I enjoyed this a ton more than expected, a great one to return to the challenge with!

Really nice, classic country songwriting. Harmonized vox across the album are great, mixed in with guitar, lap steel, piano, fiddle. Definitely some stuff worth coming back to and learning.

More country but darn good

I always fold in the face of duets and country rock... secret (not so secret) weakness.

Speak to the bumpkin in me, definitely would sit in a field with Mirril drinking some homebrew listening to this album. Very cute! I enjoyed <3

Solid country bumpkinning. I enjoyed it, but wasn't blown away. Didn't get the "Rock 'n' Roll" element the wiki professed to. Felt very standard country. Good twang.

A taste-expanding music moment. Ever walk into a room who’s decor you’d long dismissed as hilariously bad taste, only to realise its sublime charm and how it comforts you in new and expected ways? This album did that Country for me is something to be comically weaponised, like in “Mars Attacks”(against the Martians) Having mostly dismissed country, why do I love this? Maybe because its not country? I read he changing the form. His story is interesting. And So ...maybe this list is achieving what I hoped here - introducing works I would never go near and maybe opening my ears to other sounds. Back to GP, (who died too young and spectacular partial cremation in Joshua Tree (Cap Rock) and his music - A side project: if he is so influential, then listen to his albums and bands in sequence to experience the evolution International Submarine Band (66-68) debut album, Safe at Home. The Byrds ( the Sweetheart of the Rodeo album), apparently a pioneering / seminal progressive country album), thjen the Flying Burrito Brothers, either t, The Gilded Palace of Sin, or Burrito Deluxe - a style called "Cosmic American Music", And maybe his other album - GP For now a reluctant 4. It is so soothing. I think I need a porch swing and a sunset.

Wer „Love Hurts“ als Kuschelrock Song hört, hat den Song und das Album nicht verstanden. Es geht nicht um eine Beziehung die zu Ende gegangen ist sondern um den Schmerz und die Einsamkeit des Interpreten in einer tieftraurigen Phase. Diesen Schmerz zeigt das Album das 4 Monate nach seinem Drogentod veröffentlicht wurde mit Elementen aus Country und Rock. Leider war niemand da, der ihn retten konnte, so dass dieses Album sein spannendes und tiefgründiges Vermächtnis bleibt. Hörenswert!

So good.

Great stuff. The title track is one of my favorite country tunes, though I prefer Lucinda Williams' and David Crosby's cover. In fact, I generally prefer other people's version of these songs (especially Evan Dando and Juliana Hatfield's cover of $1000 Wedding and The Everly Brothers' original version of Love Hurts). Gram and Lucinda certainly bring their A game (and Gram wrote or co-wrote several of these classics), but there's a softness to the arrangements and the band's performance that takes away one star for me.

This album grew on me. Spare and a little slow at first, then the last 3 songs blew me away. Worth a listen.

Pretty good blend of country and rock

Ooooh Las Vegas is a fun song. Didn’t think I’d enjoy this but it was fun.

very nice

Easy listening country.

I love music so much because country really isn't my thing but this album was so enjoyable. Never know what you will get and if you just keep an open mind you and find enjoyment.

Enjoyable country rock with a light psychedelic tinge.

Feels like The Notorious Byrd Brothers album.

7/10 not really my genre, but still a wonderful album by a very talented artist who passed too soon

This is the good shit

This is a seminal country rock album. Unfortunately this was Gram Parsons’ last and was released posthumously. This album belongs to Emmylou Harris almost as much as it belongs to Parsons but his widow was uncomfortable with her late husband’s artistic relationship with Harris. That said, the harmonies between the two are sublime. Their version of Love Hurts is fantastic as well.

The genre of "Rock Country" reminds me of when metalheads argue about a band being "Stoner Doom Metal" or "Drone Sludge Metal". I get the rationale of differentiating within genre but from an outsider perspective, it's really more important to let me know I'm about to start a country album. That said, this is a very good country album. Emmylou Harris is an absolute gem and Gram Parsons has excellent musicality. I want to rate this 5 stars because I had never heard of Gram before this one, and it caused me to dig into his catalogue over this weekend. However, it is weaker than the rest of his material. I'll remember this one fondly, but it probably won't go into the rotation.

Enjoyed it...country music that is mellow. Album had collaborations with other artists, Emmy Lou Harris and Linda Ronstadt. Not bad...easy listening with nice melodies.

I listened to 4 songs, I like his folk country style. American music! 🇺🇸💪🏼

I'm not into country rock usually but this is an exceptionally great album. His and Emmy Lou's voices were so beautiful together.

R.I.P. Gram Parsons 😭

Banger!!!!

This is a good album, I liked it a lot. My only criticism is that it seemed like occasionally the lyrics tended to meander a bit. Having said that the music is great, and there are some really quotable lines. Some of my favorite tunes on the album were Grievous Angel, Brass Buttons (which is very reminiscent of The Eagles’ Tequila Sunrise), Cash on the Barrelhead/Hickory Wind, Love Hurts (yes THAT Love Hurts), Ooh Las Vegas and In My Hour of Darkness. The addition of Emmylou Harris’ vocals on several of the tracks really adds to the experience.

Warm, engaging, imperfectly pretty, full of heart. Grows on me more each time I hear it. The pasted together quality of this album is hard to ignore, but there are still quite a few charmers to find on here. Gram Parsons' vocals with Emmylou Harris are the best thing about this album. They have a bittersweet chemistry that is rare in music. Fave Songs: Love Hurts, Return of the Grievous Angel, In My Hour of Darkness, Hearts on Fire, Brass Buttons

Recorded right before his death, Gram Parsons left behind a wonderful document of his influence on country. Truthfully, this is just as much an Emmylou Harris album as it is a Gram Parsons album. The two were close contemporaries, leading her to be invited on to provide vocals for all but one song. They are especially great on the live medley that opens side B. Truly, everything about Grievous Angel is magnificent, oftentimes seeming like the rest of country music is trying to catch up to Parsons. What an album.

So far really like the album. It is soothing and enjoyable. Reminds me a little bit of Dan Fogelberg and John Denver :)

Mellow rock album with many lovers tunes. It's enjoyable

Second time listening to this record as well. Great soft-rock country music. Certainly one of the top artists that likely has his best auras when he died.

This was such a wonderful change from most of my recent albums -- I will definitely listen again.

Great album what a voice tragic story.

Tennessee country at its finest. I'm guessing this is the original love hurts song as well.

Excellent mid-century country-rock & roll.

I'm not a country fan but there is something warm and vulnerable about this. Will explore more.

HL: “I Can’t Dance”, “Hickory Wind”, “Love Hurts”, “In My Hour of Darkness” Idk how many versions of “Love Hurts” I’ve listened to at this point but this is easily one of the most moving. Also GP seems to be having more fun here (aside from the devastating ballads) doin his own thing than he did in Sweetheart of the Rodeo! December 21, 2023

This was really solid, classic country. I enjoyed it.

3.5/5

A great country album. Emmylou Harris’ vocals ties it all together so beautifully.

Once I was at a party/bluegrass jam where someone sang Hickory Wind with the melody just a little different at that "it makes me feel better" chord change. It was one of the best things I've ever heard and I'll never hear it again. This album also rules. music: appreciated. (⌐■_■)

Loved this one

Cosmic Country is a lovely genre that I wish didn’t become the stomp n holler genre it is today for California slow rock. The Flying Burritos have a little more adventurous tendencies with their guitar solos, but as a stand alone project this is also great! I love Grams style, and I love the matchup with Emmylou. You could tell me this is outlaw country and I would believe it. Exceptional songwriting and exceptional attention to the detail.

I love Gram Parsons and could listen to him as much as any musician ever, but it’s not a perfect album!

I never knew much about Gram Parsons other than that he was involved with the Byrds and Flying Burrito Brothers and was very influential in bringing a country flavor to rock. So, I took the opportunity to go down a Gram Parsons Wikipedia rabbit hole while listening to today's album. Here are a few interesting things I learned: He died at only 26 years old, after making this album but before it was released. Very sad. His wife was very jealous of Emmylou Harris, and when Parsons died, she took the opportunity to remove Harris as an equal partner on the album, relegating her to a credit on the back of the album, and removed one song (Sleepless Nights) that heavily featured Emmylou. After he died, his friends, knowing that he loved Joshua Tree and wanted his ashes scattered there, stole his body, drove it to Joshua Tree in a borrowed hearse, poured 5 gallons of gasoline in the open coffin, and threw in a lit match. They were arrested, but there was no law against stealing a dead body, so they were just fined for stealing a coffin and leaving his remains in the desert. Now those are some good friends. Okay, onto the music. I'm funny about country, because some of my favorite music is country/alternative country or whatever you want to call it. Lucinda Williams, Steve Earle, Wilco, The Be Good Tanyas, and others of that ilk are among my all-time favorite artists. But if the country veers too much into "traditional" country territory then I really dislike it. For me, this album falls right in the middle. I like it, but it's maybe a bit too country-ish for me. Regardless, I'm giving it 4 stars out of respect for the influence that Gram Parsons had on music in his short career.

I can see the soul on display, and I get the tragic bent to it. But I do think it is maybe a notch down from 5, due to lacking a strong shine for me.

Good stuff

Classic country, Gram Parsons even has the authentic real life experience which makes the album that much more genuine. Country music at its core can be an excellent story told thru song of real experiences both hard or joyful. Somewhere along the timeline soft southern boys grabbed hold of it and ruined the genre and made a mockery of it. It’s coming back around but what Parsons and Emmylou Harris did here was genuine country music, boisterous Cash on the Barrelhead was a riot and the toned down twang of Hearts on Fire was beautiful. The story of Parsons death and following theft of his body only add to the lore. Great twang! 4 stars

Sad cowboy 🤠 good

No johan onpas hyvä. Ehkä paras kuulemani kantrilevy. Voisi ostaa cd:nä autoon road trippejä varten, jos omistaisin auton.

Country is always nice to me, but it's a bit plain

Force me to listen to this a few more times I might start liking it! Standouts: Love Hurts 3.5

Really great album and I largely hate Country music (mostly contemporary Country). That it was a nice listen and even more impressive considering he died at 26. 7/10

Some good songs, Emmylou Harris deserves as much credit as Gram though.

Excellent

Gram Parsons va brillar més en els seus discos en solitari que amb els seus treballs amb bandes tan documentades i reivindicades com The Byrds i The Flying Burrito Brothers. En aquest segon -i últim- disc sota el seu nom deixa bona mostra del seu talent en temes com el que dona títol, 'Brass Buttons', 'Hearts on Fire', 'In My Hour of Darkness', o en la bonica versió de 'Love Hurts'. Country, però variat i divers, un molt bon disc de música

Short and sweet

VMP

I don’t know what you’d call Grahams sound. Well, besides fantastic. Mixing country, blues, bluegrass and folk with a little help from friend Emmylou Harris he crafts one of the 1970s first country releases. A simply produced expertly executed melange of sound and feeling. A true artist gone far too soon.

Great harmonies from Emmylou Harris, clean production. I'm a sucker for a slide guitar. Favorite tracks: "Return of the Grievous Angel", "I Can't Dance", "Medley Live from Nothern Quebec"

I enjoyed this quite a bit. An Emmylou Harris guest spot is always appreciated ttoo.its too bad Gram passed away so young.

Emmylou makes everything better, yeah?

Cosmic American music as described

Always liked this sound from the 70’s with the melding of country and soft rock.

i liked it a lot more than i expected to. i went in expecting modern country, which i find absolutely intolerable, but i found this a lot more pleasant and folksy. it's not really exciting, but it's nice enough that i can't give it a three, which i wanna reserve for really 'ok' stuff. sounded a lot like fallout new vegas music (which makes me want to play it again). pretty nostalgic-sounding, it reminded me of hawaiian music. this is pretty much the only form of country music i can tolerate; four stars.

Had not listened to Grievious Angel for a long time (usually prefer to go for Sweetheart of the Rodeo or so) but GA is an excellent album of course: perfect vocals, best version of Love Hurst, several other 5-star songs such as 1000 dollar wedding, in my hour of darkness. The other songs are obviously strong as well, but I care less about them. Overall score: 8/10 (mainly 3-star and 4-star songs and three absolute 5-star songs)

This is really Parsons & Harris, their voices combine excellently with each other.

Cosmic American Music. It's great revisiting Parsons who was easily the best known of this genre of 70s country music that has spawned so much interest in mining compilations from he likes of archival labels like Numero Group. This record is beautiful and sound such a part of the fabric of American music. An absolute pleasure to listen to.

I thought this was a very good country album-- I love Emmylou Harris-- but not something I see myself revisiting

These songs are smooth and frictionless, it's hard to find anything wrong with them - does that mean they're perfect, or does it mean they're boring? The only real moment of confusion for me was the random live track. Ok, I'm reading now that the live track was fake, with canned applause, which actually makes it even more confusing. Overall though, really solid songs and performances.

Country-rock suave con voces muy logradas. Agradable de escuchar. Algún tema muy reconocible.

Late, great Gram Parsons!

7/10. Solid country

Pretty decent old school country. I'm a sucker for a lap steel guitar, so that bumps it up for me too.

Pretty nice country, and I like how Parsons’ back-up singer compliments him. Maybe not the most exciting sound out there, but it works pretty well together. B-

J'ai le gotu de dire que c'est un bon album générique de Country comme il y en a beaucoup sur cette liste. J'ai aimé, mention special pour Quebec :p 4

Little bit of twang to this, a pretty enjoyable listen

God this album went bananas. Favourite tracks are probably track 2 and I think 4? Beautiful soundscapes great stuff from Garth brooks

I enjoyed it!

It was pretty good. Nothing too extraordinary about it but I enjoyed it. 7/10

Splendid country album

to be honest i only listened to a few songs, but I actually liked it. good folk music, good voice

Unfortunately some terrible singing

Cosmic American music, from a trust fund kid who dreamed big and burned the candle at both ends. Emmylou Harris is the real star here - every time she comes in with a harmony, everything is lifted. Docked one star for the terrible pretend-live medley.

Grievous Angel is a very basic country album. I don't know much about this guy but he seems to have lived a short but very interesting life seeing as he has a whole Wikipedia page about his death. One of the few interesting things about this album is that it features a young Emmylou Harris and i will very confidently say that her vocals are easily the highlight of this album. The other aspects are just very typical for a country album. The guitars and Gram's vocals sound exactly like you would expect in an album like this. The album did thankfully go at a brisk pace like most other country albums do so that's nice. This is a perfectly fine country album but nothing super special. Best Song: $1000 Wedding Worst Song: Medley Live from Northern Quebec

Is Emmylou Harris the most prominently featured artist in this list? Not even female artist, but overall. This is my fifth album she’s featured on before I hit 200 (very cool!)

Decent.

Mycket fint men också mycket bös. GP, heart at the rodeo och gilded palace of sin mycket bättre parsons-material

Emmylouuuuuuu och Gram är en bra kombo alltså. Påminner om Eagles på ett bra sätt! Stark trea, kanske fyra

Försökt "fatta" GP förr, då svenska kulturskribenter blev country. Innan alla andra. Då var det ett jäkla tjat om GP. Men det är ju rätt trist och kanske är ännu ett körsbär på glassen för de som menar att rika aldrig kan skapa intressant konst

Landmark for a genre.

A sort of rock-forward country album with some gospel elements mixed in. This was released a few months after Parsons’s death in late 1973. About half the songs are duets with a young Emmylou Harris, and her and Gram had some great harmonies and a few songs were really good, especially the opening title track. I was worn down by the end though, as it started to get into gospel/Jesus territory and I don’t like that stuff. I’ll give it a solid 3/5; good at times, just not really my bag.

Nice melodies…like a vacation. And I do love a harmony with Emmylou Harris.

Enjoyable enough listen but, beyond "Return of the Greivous Angel," "Love Hurts," and "Ooh, Las Vegas," it was a little bit boring and nondescript. Those three songs are excellent and Emmylou brings some great harmony vocals to the proceedings. I liked The Flying Burrito Brothers a lot more and, for "cosmic country," I wish he'd gone a little weirder and more spacey. But those three songs really elevate everything else.

I adore the first song, Return of the Grevious Angel. It's kind of the perfect song, with Emmylou Harris's harmony and the keys on the chorus and the deceptively weird lyrics. The rest kind of pales in comparison for me; none of it is bad, its all nice and pleasant cosmic country, but it's just not as memorable and breezes by. Like Jeff Buckley, a shame that he died so young. A unique talent that could appeal to the hippies and normies alike, extinguished all too soon

gar nicht mal so schlecht, entspannt beim kiffen safe, aber eben auch ohne zu kiffen not bad

This gave me whiplash. I LOVED the parts with Emmylou, and HATED the smattering of schmaltzy 70s sounds. I dunno what to rate this!

"...by Emmylou Harris and Gram Parsons". She really props him up here. Gram is fine but he's overrated and dead.

concordo com o amigo, nada demais, nada de menos é um álbum de country, poderia ser mto pior na vdd

countryzinho normal, hein. nada demais, mas tbm nada que seja ruim. foi de boa!

It's interesting that I would get this album just a couple of days after getting the album from the Byrds when Gram Parsons was in the band for a short time, but totally influenced the album. This is Parsons solo work and it was recorded shortly before he died from a morphine and alcohol overdose. For me, the star of this album is a young Emmylou Harris, who is featured on all the songs. It's interesting that Parsons' widow was clearly jealous of his relationship with Emmylou and had the front cover of the album modified before its released - removing the picture that featured Parsons and Harris and removed the credit to Harris (it was moved to the back of the album). Country music is not my thing and this is a bit too twangy for me, but Emmylou's voice is amazing and I could listen to her all day. Solid album and I can see why it made it on this list.

Fine, but Emmylou Harris' backing vocals is what is really stealing my attention. Sorry to Gram Parsons. Fav Tracks: "Return of the Grievous Angel", "$1000 Wedding" and "In My Hour of Darkness".

Somewhat disappointed in this. I liked it but didn’t love it. The more country the sound the better I liked it.

Jag hade en fullmatad cdbox med Gram, där var förstås de mesta med från detta album och albumet innan (GP), men också låtar med livebandet Fallen Angels och hans låtar från the Byrds, Flying Burrito Bros. och de där andra bandet Submarine nånting. En utmärkt box och en väg in i countryn för mig i början av 00talet. Tror det va Ryan Adams som pratade om honom som gjorde att jag skaffade den. Dock gjorde det att mycket flyter ihop, jag har svårt att skilja de olika projekten och albumen åt eftersom jag lyssnade mycket på den boxen. Jag har förstås detta album och GP på vinyl nu, men det var länge sen jag plockade fram dom och minnet av cdboxen sitter hårt. Så jag lyssnade igenom båda albumen nu. Jag tycker GP är lite starkare, bättre låtar. Å andra sidan är det mindre Emmylou där, även om hon är med, så det tar nästan ut varann. Här finns några riktiga höjdare, "In my hour of darkness" är förstås allra bäst men öppningsspåret, "Brass buttons" och "$1000 wedding" skäms inte heller för sig. Lite svårare har jag när det blir för mycket upptempo ("Ooh Las Vegas") "Love hurts" stör inte det minsta det är ett helt ok albumspår men heller inte mer. Konstaterar att Gram är en countrykille jag fortfatande gillar. Jag landar i en vrålstark 3a, medan GP hade nog tippat över till en svag 4a

Jag har aldrig riktigt fastnat för Gram Parsons country. Men när jag hör den här skivan nu förstår jag inte varför. Kanske är det för att jag förblindats av att Love hurts är en så banal pastischlåt. Men resten är faktiskt övervägande bra country. Han tillhör inte de stora sångarna inom genren, men låtarna håller god klass, förutom Love hurts då. Och Emmylou är alltid underbar, även i bakgrunden.

Ett oantastligt sound. Gram och Emmylous stämmor är förstås ljuva tillsammans. Saknar dock låtar som riktigt griper tag. Stannar därför på trean idag.

1 = Turn it off, 2 = Will listen to it but prefer something else, 3 = Fine with it being played 4 = Adding it to the rotation 5 = We're going deeper. This album was easy to listen to and had some good tracks. Wouldn't mind revisiting it now and again, but not good enough to add it to my library.

You ever listen to an album for the first time knowing exactly how you're going to feel based on previous albums you've listened to that all have things in common with each other? That happens a lot with this project, and this album demonstrates that very well. This is Grievous Angel by Gram Parsons. Despite this being my first album credited to him specifically, this is actually my third album I've gotten for this project with him at the lead. I previously listened to an album from his band, The Flying Burrito Brothers, and an album from his tenure with The Byrds, a band that I eventually got kinda tired of from all the albums they have on this list. I gave both of those albums a 3, so I was fully expecting Grievous Angel to also be that. Was I right? Uh, yeah. I was. This album definitely isn't bad, but I'm also not super invested in it. The sound is very country. I thought there'd be more of a psychedelic influence given the other two albums, but that's not really here. Still, the sound is pleasant enough. I do like the way most older country albums sound, even if I don't love them per se. The vocals are solid. Gram's voice is alright. The album does have a very high presence of another singer though, a singer who I have also gotten albums from in the past, that being Emmylou Harris. Her voice is also nice. The songs here are all decent. "Love Hurts" is the most popular one and I'm okay with that. It's a good song. The energy here is more on the slow side, which works most of the time. I don't have much else to say. This is a solid country album, but not one that I'm impressed by. I'd say it's about on par with the other Parsons affairs on here, though I do think it slightly edges them out to be the best of the bunch. 3/5.

I still don’t really like country, but I try to keep an open mind. This was okay.

Grievous Angel by Gram Parsons is a really enjoyable listen, which surprised me slightly considering this is predominantly a country album! This is definitely the type of country music I can get on board with. It's less twangy and banjo-heavy than a lot of the country albums I've struggled with during this challenge and has much more going on musically. The real star of the show for me, though, is Emmylou Harris. I completely agree with the reviewer who said her name should have been on the album alongside Gram Parsons. Her voice is absolutely stunning and works beautifully with his. Whenever they sing together, the album seems to go up another level. There are some genuinely beautiful songs on here as well. Their version of "Love Hurts" is lovely, and the whole album has a warm, relaxed sound that makes it incredibly easy to listen to. It's country music, but with enough folk and rock mixed in to make it much more interesting to me. Overall, this was a really pleasant surprise and another country album from this challenge that I'd happily listen to again. Favourite track: "Love Hurts" is beautiful, largely because Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris sound so good together. "Return of the Grievous Angel" is also a great tune and a brilliant way to open the album. Least favourite track: Everything on here is worth a listen. There wasn't anything I particularly disliked. Album artwork: Really cool album cover. Simple and effective.

Pretty good album well written songs and features a young Emmy Lou Harris on backing vocals.

mediocre

This was fine. 3.1

Twee country

Yee haw

Not familiar with this although think so recognize the name. Old school country rock, something I may be able to enjoy a little. This is solid. Feels like a classic sound. Gets a little more 70s rock at times. All solid. 70s country feels all in line with the folk/soft rock of its era. Very different from modern country. At times a few of these songs sound a little too cliche but I like a lot of it. This version of Love Hurts is solid. This is a solid 3. Kept waiting to hear something to give me a higher rating, but never got there. Good album. Old school simple country.

Pretty cozy Standout Track: Love Hurts

I liked it but it was a bit rambling at times

Pretty interesting that this like defined a genre and stuff but not an absolute must listen today. Still pretty solid tho

While I expected a dud I was pleasantly surprised in what I heard. Older folksy country but fast paced enough to keep your attention.

I was not sold straight off the jump but this grew on me as it continued. This was a pleasant listen and Emmylou Harris’ vocals are a nice inclusion. Good song variety. Favorite songs were I Can’t Dance, $1000 Wedding, and Love Hurts.

Started off not loving, thinking this was going to be another unoriginal country album but as it progressed got more into it.

3.5

Standard 70s country rock... but soft rock. Lots of harmonies. Didn't know he wrote a couple of these songs, whose covers are legendary. It's not great but listenable.

I'm in a kinda "just getting through it" period of the list rn. Country.

Tough review because i feel like this is quite derivative in the mid 70s. I mean bands like The Dead, The Band, CSNY each individually, have all been steeped in a Cosmic Country Americana sound. However, this is a pleasant listen with great instrumentation and vocals. Id come back again

이런 노래를 컨트리 송이라고 했던 것 같은데 그런 느낌이 나쁘지 않았다. I think songs like this are called country songs, and I didn't mind that vibe.

Lite rock. Decent background music

Very clean. Nothing special.

Never heard of Gram before. Sounds a lot like the Country (& Western) I heard growing up in the 70s in rural East Scotland, but with more serious/contemporary lyrics.

Emmylou carries this one

Hat mich bisschen in a nonchalant way. country rock

Honkytonk spongebobesque folky rock. Not my vibe but it’s ok

It’s country. It rocks.

It's 3.5

The first song feels like this album starts in the middle of a thought. The third song feels like it would've been well-suited to be the first track, though. I kind of enjoyed this, kind of didn't. As I've gotten more into country rock, it's good to listen to some of the older stuff, too.

Pretty decent, chilled country. Similar to some other country albums on this list, nothing special but an easy listen.

Lovely duets and yet the album is attributed to Gram Parsons alone. Hard to listen to him and not ready about his death and the aftermath. Overall, I enjoyed the ablum. It was hauntingly beautiful even though country isn't really my thing. I can now understand his impact on future artists as they blend some of his country into their genre's sounds.

Not my music

Pleasant and forgettable

Country music from the 70s with Emmylou Harris. Favorite tracks: love hurts other picks: brass buttons, return of the grievous angel

Buen disco country la verdad.

nice and folky!

Country queen realness. 3.

Country is still not my favorite genre, but this album was not too bad. The music was good and the vocals were nice. I would say my favorite song from the album was the cover of Love Hurts.

The first rule of songwriting is to write what you know. In Gram Parsons’ case this was booze, shotgun marriages, doomed love affairs and spitting in the eye of the Grim Reaper. He certainly packed a lot into his tragically short life. He played music from an early age, formed several successful bands and joined The Byrds in 1968 aged just 22 and then quit on principle over a planned tour of apartheid South Africa. He got to know Keith Richards, formed yet another band (The Flying Burrito Brothers) before meeting the then unknown Emmylou Harris who he recruited for his two solo albums. At this time he was struggling with a crippling drug addiction and alcoholism, but somehow managed to make a solid country rock album greatly elevated by Harris’ vocals, especially on the duets Love Hurts and In My Hour of Darkness. By rights Harris should have been co-credited for this album, but when Parsons died of an inevitable overdose, his jealous estranged wife removed her from the cover. Her 1975 song Boulder to Birmingham shows how much he meant to her. Another tragic member of the rockstars die young club.

6/10 Empezó medio country, no me disgusto pero tampoco es un estilo que me fascine, después bien pero tampoco nada wow

Got into this a little more than expected given it's pretty much out and out country..liked the Emmy vocals and dug the vibraphones on 2nd track. Calling this "Cosmic American Music" might be overplaying the hand a little, though...

Folk/Early Rock

Shout out Emmylou Harris

Pretty chill country album. I like grams voice and some of the songwriting here is pretty good e.g. $1000 wedding. But that's pretty much all I've got to say about it. Not bad not great 6/10 Favourite: Grievous Angel Least Favourite: Medley Live From Northern Quebec

I feel like this music is a bit run of the mill but I didn't dislike this. I'm not sure what sets this apart from other similar acts that warrants putting it on this list.

Every time I hear a Gram Parsons record I'm always impressed with the sound, especially given the era. If you're looking for that pre "my truck/ dog/beer" Nashville pop country slop, you could do way worse than this one.

This is nice country album before country went up its own ass

Überraschend schön, entspannt und nice Mischung von country, blues und singer-songwriter balladen Fav $1000 Wedding, brass buttons

Not a big country guy but I do feel like it's an overhated genre, this site included.

It’s ok to listen too. Love Hirts is a huge hit but the rest is not really my cup of tea.

This was an excellent rock/county record. I see all these terrible reviews and I don't get it. I would say a 3.5 but that's not an option

Blues un peu country

J’ai trouvé ça drôle à écouter haha

Grievous Angel was the second and final solo album for Gram Parsons. Parsons initially found fame as a member of the Flying Burrito Brothers, His solo career was tragically cut short; he died of an overdose well before Grievous Angel was released. The album was critically very well received, but achieved only limited commercial success. Parsons is credited with helping to push the integration of country into rock music. He frequently collaborated with Emmylou Harris, who is a background vocalist on but one of the tracks on the album.

I appreciate some old school, twangy country, but a little goes a long way for me. With Gram not having a terribly good voice, it was the angel-like harmonies of Emmylou that saved this for me. Worth a listen, but doubt I'll be back.

Pretty middle of the road "no complaints from me" classic country, but nothing stands out to push the rating about three stars. Standout track: Ooh, Las Vegas If you didn't read the Gram Parsons Wikipedia article, do so. Guy had an interesting life, death, and post-death, for sure. On another note, Parsons was in the Byrds, the Flying Burrito Brothers, and made two solo albums before he turned 27. It's amazing to me to see the monumental amount of creative productivity of some of these musicians while they're basically kids. And this one in particular was instrumental in the creation of an entire genre of music. Wild stuff. Humans are amazing

More country than rock. The best part for me was Emmylou Harris on most of the songs. Not really my kind of music but nothing that was particularly bad about it.

My country knowledge is strictly mid 90s variety and Jolene by Dolly Parton. I can appreciate this but I don’t know any of it except what looks like an original version of love hurts.

Return of the Grievous Angel is a great song. There are a few others, but too many pass by in a blur.

p336. 1974. 3 stars. Accessible and influential early 70s country rock that paved the way for the Eagles. Some great songs here, but there is also a lot of filler and it does stray into yeehaw a little too much.

emmy lou is amazing; otherwise, this is a fantasy camp country album

Stands above lots of the other old country offerings, sounds good and smooth and I like their voices together Some of the songs lose a little of the shine, I liked the first few tracks the most

enjoyable - easy listening nothing special VERY country like so stereotypical country sounds like dolly parton on backing but it isnt love hurts stand out

The country sound on Grievous Angel is fantastic, and I wish the album had the songs to match it. The twang and pedal steel are both excellently balanced against the rock sound, combining to form something to satisfy both rockers and country traditionalists. The album's (not so) secret weapon is Emmylou Harris, whose vocals improve every song they're on. But the songwriting contains such a lack of variety that the album becomes a drag. Most of the slow songs contain a similar pacing and progress linearly with nothing but lyrics to separate them. For every amazing "Love Hurts" there's an overlong "$1000 Wedding." The upbeat songs feel a bit too gimmicky, and while country is not always a serious genre they stand in stark contrast to the druggy depression of the album's best songs. Worth listening to for the best songs, but I can't put this alongside the best country rock has to offer.

Not bad not bad

Pretty cool Country music, but it's also Country music.

Decent album, did love the songs with Emmylou Harris. I would listen to it again. Love Hurt was the highlight for me.

Fun and short. For those of who grew up with crappy stadium pop country, it’s nice to go back to things like this

Not that bad it could have been worse

Could have been much worse

A. i didn’t know he wrote Love Hurts B. How long has EmmyLou Harris been around?

it alright.

Decent for yeehaw, I don't mind it

This was quite fun, and not as dreary as I was expecting it to be.

Fun to listen to but that was about it. Couple standout songs, Emmylou Harris kills it on the bg vox.

my nigga. whom? yt music put big star in the recs; i assume that's a good barometer. streets calling this the first alt-country album. streets also saying he was on some unrequited love shit w/ emmylou. nonetheless we move. cook stove chef (based god): 1, 4 (decent but boring), 5 (standout) redeeming traits: 2 (harmonies), 3(instrumental), 6 (instrumental/harmonies/FX), 7 (harmonies {reoccurring gag [i've had that one before]}; how many times will i have to hear "love hurts" before this is through?), 8 (instrumental {harmonies are wasted on this one. you can't do "countryman depraved gambling rolling stone" songs with emmylou streisanding it. that said. mf do you HEAR this solo‽}) eh: 9 (harmonies are nice yada yada). if i have to hear people harmonize christ related lyricism i'm Just listening to boney m. putting the lyric "oh lord grant me speed" before singing a eulogy to your dealer (among other things) is p funny. considering. y'know. the circumstances. lowk bores me. even the songs with redeeming traits are kinda boring. rolling stone Def racist cause you can't tell me there's isn't at least a hundred albums better OAT. astaghfirullah if another song ends on a resolving chord reverbing out with steel pedal 🫥. that said the harmonies are fueg. al perkins' Tearing it up on the steel. another testament to the power of having insane studio guys making nice sounding mid. 3.2-3.8.

Title song is solid and some tracks there that I didn’t realize he wrote or he also covered which were nice surprises.

The back end of this album is 100% better than the first half. A few classics.

Decent, but it didn't exactly blow me away. Kind of listened to it in a hurry, to be fair, it probably deserves a second listen. Favourite track: I Can't Dance

On Grievous Angel, Gram Parsons leans all the way into his vision of cosmic American music, but the result feels more like a hazy Sunday morning than a revelation. Anchored by lush pedal steel and an easygoing sway, the album’s real spark comes from Emmylou Harris, whose luminous harmonies nearly steal the show—honestly, this might as well be a co-billed affair. Parsons keeps things mellow to a fault, settling into a narrow groove that rarely breaks stride, which makes the record drift by pleasantly but without much urgency. There are flashes of something sharper: the title track, “Return of the Grievous Angel,” opens things with a rambling charm (even if it overstays its welcome), “Ooh Las Vegas” kicks up some dust with a welcome shot of tempo and a faint Johnny Cash-like swagger, and “Love Hurts” lands with quiet, aching grace. Still, for all its beauty, Grievous Angel plays it so safe that it risks fading into the background—easy on the ears, but not quite hard to forget.

takie troche dalo mi vibe spongeboba lepsze napewno niz to co mi tu ostatnio serwowali

This is definitely an album that exists

I am not sure why this album is getting so ravaged because it seems pretty straightforward to me. I do think that Emmylou Harris is carrying it a bit and if it was just him it would probably be kind of unbearable. The low energy tracks were not my favorite but I thought the fast, high energy songs were awesome.

This was an easy listen. I loved Emmylou Harris's backing vocals and collaborations, and I appreciated the chemistry. The steel guitar and songs about pain and drinking tended toward country music, but other elements brought to mind some of The Eagles' countrified work. I could hear how Parsons was bringing folk and country toward rock, an effort that continued after his death in 1973.

Almost made country fun but then went right back to sad boy cowboy music.

That was lovely!

I thought it was enjoyable if not particularly memorable.

I liked the live medley! That was fun

Yeah, I guess it's important but it just felt meh

I'm always surprised by how much I enjoy old-school country. Emmylou Harris might be the best part of this album, but Gram Parsons has a particular sound that serves the music well, even if it's rather more nasal than I prefer. "$1000 Wedding" and "In My Hour of Darkness" were standouts for me.

Favorite track(s): Return of the Grievous Angel, Brass Buttons, In My Hour of Darkness

I liked this album. It had the right mix of country and storytelling. While this would be Gram Parsons's farewell, it would the take-off needed for Emmylou Harris. She shines on this album. $1000 Wedding is simply exceptional. Highlights: Hearts on Fire Brass Buttons $1000 Wedding Love Hurts In My Hour of Darkness

It was fine, some was emotion filled, some was just there.

Good songwriting (some written by Parsons) well played with those beautiful Emmylou Harris backing vocals. It's not my genre, but I appreciate it.

Never listened. Expectations: High - Verdict: Good - I love his work with The Byrds and Flying Burrito Brothers but have somehow never given this a proper listen. The songcraft is very confident right from the start and his voice is beautiful. Delicate and understated and melancholic. I think maybe the performance is more impressive than the material itself. This is still a really good listen and deserves a spot on the list but there is just a little spark missing.

One Gram is the correct amount of Parsons. Disclaimer: Dosage recommendations vary based on body weight, tolerance, and several additional factors. Please consult a professional before starting Parsons.

Remember when country wasn't just pop with a twang sung by some affectatious jerk in a cowboy hat? Pepperidge Farm remembers. Not bad for country, which isn't a genre I care too much for. Got a few bangers on here, a few crooners, one instance of surprise yodeling, some stuff I think is supposed to make me sad but I can't quite understand the story so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. The audience on the live track are *rowdy* XD. Not mad at it. I'd like to highlight that it isn't all love songs - props. \m/

Nice album with a cool 70s feel. Nice harmonies. I liked the song that gave a shout out to my favorite thing about SC. The oak trees.

Not bad but not really my thing.

Perfectly fine country album. Not going to be my first choice off the shelf.

This was a great background listen. Just some nice pleasing country music.

This a solid listen. The Emmylou Harris vocals and the quality of the musicians elevate it to above average for sure. Not quite enough for me to round up but it is a solid 7/10. 3.5/5

Had me cracking up that the opening line for 6 out of the 9 songs is the title of the song. This was fine but $1000 wedding and the version of love hurts had me wanting to round down.

This is a solid Emmylou Harris album! 3.5/5

Nice country rock album. I don’t mind being in Gram Parsons’s company at all. Very pleasant. Lovely version of “Love Hurts” too.

This record rocks. Vocals are great, orchestration is superb, production is nice, and there's some nice sentimentality on the album. "Love Hurts" is a really nice tune; even if when I hear it I think about the song being used mockingly in movies and TV shows when a character gets broken up with. The two hard-panned voices sound very intimate, and I love the chords. Nice record! Cool album cover too.

The roots of Americana

Country album with some solid vocals.

Wel oke

Priem

Some good ol country fried rock! Good listen through and through. All the elements of good country music!

Eerste gedachte: Ojee, hier een heel album van? Maar toen bleek het een warm bad te zijn dat mijn fietstocht door de regen toch wat opfleurde met herinneringen van roadtrippen door droge gebieden in de VS. Die combi van pedalsteel, fiddle en af en toe een subtiele piano is nice. Leuk om een keer te horen, maar niet iets wat gaat blijven hangen.

Bij vlagen bijna een soort proto-Mac DeMarco, maar vooral gewoon onversneden, onironische woe-is-me country. I didn't hate it. Behalve die faux live medley halverwege, that's a naw from me dawg

boring to me. really not my kind of music. but i guess not objectively bad or anything.

Es ist ein Country-Album mit rockigen Ansätzen. "Brass Buttons" ist eine schöne Ballade. Und die Coverversion von "Love Hurts" ist hörenswert. Ich schwanke zwischen 2 und 3 Sternen...

competent but utterly disposable country

Like most country, this is absolutely gorgeous music that just does not speak to me whatsoever. I think most music obsessives go through a country phase at least once in their lives and at 43 years old, I'm beginning to think that's just not going to happen to me.

This is nice and perfect working background music, was between a 2.5 to 3 for me

Nice vibes.

Enjoy GP. Great sound.

If you haven't seen it, go watch the Ask a Mortician video about the theft of Graham Parson's body. It's more interesting than this album, which was fine but lacked anything that particularly stood out. https://youtu.be/bYuNKbxnZDc?si=VRq6XIAOxFJ5t4IX

Emmylou Harris > Gram

I liked his burrito bros stuff more.

Not great. But better than I thought.

Pleasant enough but nothing special

Like many other older country albums, this was pretty well down the middle for my tastes. This had less twang which was nice, and really shined with the male/female vocal dynamics with Emmylou Harris.. overall 3.25/5

I can see myself listening to this again if I'm ever in the mood.

First country album and I was kind of disappointed after seeing how well-received the album is. While the songwriting definitely shone in parts, a lot of the album was just kind of boring to me and didn't stand out enough to leave the impression it has on other people. The back half of the album saved this from being entirely negative, but just barely. Favorite Songs: "$1000 Wedding", "Love Hurts", "Ooh Las Vegas" Least Favorite Song: "Medley Live From Northern Quebec" Low 3.

Too country for me at the start, but loved I Can't Dance which was more rock, and Brass Buttons and $1000 Wedding both have a lovely wistful air. Cool to be reminded what a good song Love Hurts is; nice version too. Ooh Las Vegas is too country for me but instrumental start is amazing. In My Hour of Darkness is sweet.

I’d listen to this 1,001 times before I ever listen to any of that electronic garbage that is on this list one times too many.

vaguely beige sleepy country easy listening for your grandma. it's well-produced, but I feel no desire to relisten.

A little over produced for my liking when it comes to country. The songs themselves are solid and well performed, mind.

3-4 Love hurts is schön

Me ha gustado, y ya. Country guay de la radio del GTA

I'm not dead yet and I'm glad I listened. It's a great country album with some classic twang and even some yodeling. I'm no country fan, but I appreciated this one. 6/10

Takie na 3. Przyjemne country

I like some country, but not the twangy, yankyouroverall staps, side kicks country. some lovely tracks, beautiful sweet arrangements and of course Emmylou luuuuv her! All that said, this is not my genre at all - 2 tracks were enough to last me

Enjoyed this. Not usually a fan of country, but this rocked a little and had some nice ballads. Sounds like he may have had an influence on Eagles. Great harmonies with the amazing Emmylou Harris, particularly on Love Hurts. Shame that he OD’d before this got released.

there are other country albums I would rather have on here but it wasn't bad overall

nice enough

traditional country rock, I'm not a country person so it'll be interesting to see if I like this. Well, just realizing love hurts wasn't written by Nazareth after listening to this album lol. Eh, some songs I liked, some songs I did. prob go a 5/10

This all sounds terrific and Emmylou really sparkles, but Gram’s just never done that much for me as a vocalist whether here, his other solo work, or in bands. Maybe need to return to this in the future, I could see a few of these really jumping out at me on a mix or the radio, they capture such a vibe, but all at once, it’s a bit samey.

This album really surprised me, as I didn’t think I’d like this style of music ! Favorite Track : Brass Buttons 3.5/5

a pleasant little album, idk didn't do too much for me
