Format: Compilation
Release Date: 20-07-1999
Details: Amazon.ca The gentle hand of Emmylou Harris guides this tribute to ill-fated country-rock avatar Gram Parsons, which goes a long way toward explaining why this star-studded salute avoids the pitfalls that befall many such projects. Harris got her start harmonizing with the patron saint of alt country, contributing mightily to Parsons’s two early 1970s solo albums and reviving selections from his small, but indispensable, oeuvre throughout her career. She has a vested interest in finding a true connection between her former benefactor and this cast of Parsons partisans. Here she bands together a flock of followers who range from obvious offspring (Wilco, Gillian Welch, Whiskeytown) to not-so-evident disciples (Beck, the Pretenders, Sheryl Crow). Parsons’s partner in the Flying Burrito Brothers, Chris Hillman, teams with Steve Earle on « High Fashion Queen, » and David Crosby (like Parsons and Hillman, an ex-Byrd) joins Lucinda Williams on « Return of the Grievous Angel. » Harris harmonizes with Beck on « Sin City » and shares the mic with Crow on « Juanita, » one of the collection’s highlights. Ultimately, Harris has assembled a homage that would’ve pleased her old mentor. –Steven Stolder Product description Brand New
