Emmylou's gorgeous rendition of Lucinda Williams' Sweet Old World, seems as though she is singing to her mentor and probable lover,the late great Gram Parsons,father of alternative country. First gaining recognition, with Lee Hazelwood produced International Submarine Band, Gram joined the Byrds for their switchto country with Sweethearts of the Rodeo album. With the Byrds Chris Hillman,Gram formed the unsuccessful Flying Burrito Brothers,which mixed country with good old fashioned rock and roll. going solo for his last two albums, Gram recorded a gorgeus duet wtih Emmylou, Love Hurts, on the posthumously released Return of the Grievou Angel. Though not a star in his lifetime, Gram has since become a legend and an influence on many musicians.Joining Emmylou on this album are Lucinda and Neil Young on backing vocals, Also gorgeous harmonica solo by Neil.

  • You should read Pamela Des Barres' book "I'M WITH THE BAND" for more on the life and death of Graham Parsons. She knew him too. A fine read.

  • Thank you for this. Question..We're Emmy Lou and Gram Pasons in love?

    The world lost a talent at an early age. We'll never what G. P. would have done in music had he lived. RIP

    Thanks, Oak
