Gram Parsons and the Roots of Country Rock

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

"Takes the reader from the present to the past and back again, conveying a vivid document of Gram Parsons's life and career, as well as those who played essential roles in the country-rock pioneer's journey. There are lots of surprises along the way."--Holly George-Warren, author of "Public Cowboy No. 1: The Life and Times of Gene Autry" "Has a great narrative velocity. Even though we know how this story is going to end--tragically, of course--Kealing keeps us turning the page as we follow Gram Parsons through his short, rich life."--William McKeen, author of "Outlaw Journalist: The Life and Times of Hunter S. Thompson" "I could almost hear the music coming from those now-dilapidated buildings where Gram Parsons received his musical education. Bob Kealing makes them come alive as he explores the faces and places that turned Parsons from a southern-bred trust fund child into a self-destructive yet visionary musical pioneer."--Jeffrey M. Lemlich, author of "Savage Lost: Florida Garage Bands: The '60s and Beyond"
