Gram Parons lived hard and died young, and left behind a musical legacy that has influenced generations of rock and country legends. Ben Fong-Torres's moving account of his story--from his poor-little-rich-kid childhood; through his seminal time with the Byrds and his own bands, the Flying Burrito Brothers and the Fallen Angels; to days and nights spent with the likes of Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, and Emmylou Harris--is a classic of rock biography. This newly expanded edition updates the text and discograph, adds rare new photographs, and concludes with an intriguing epilogue that answers some lingering questions about Gram's untimely death--and raised a few more.

This compelling portrait of Gram Parsons superbly evokes the tumultuous musical era that he worked in, his personal mystique and, above all, the magic of his music - and is the only Gram biography to adequately explain why the legend lives on. This is a new edition - including a new epilogue from the author - of a work that is rightly regarded as a classic of its kind. Blessed with fabulous riches, charisma, good looks, a wealth of music business contacts and a unique songwriting gift, Gram Parsons still somehow ended his life overdosing in a motel, his charred remains scattered in the desert and his music virtually unknown. However, nearly 50 years on from his untimely demise, the man, the myth and the music endure. Ben Fong-Torres's Hickory Wind is the landmark biography of perhaps the greatest enigma in American music, combining meticulous research, perceptive criticism and key testimony from Gram's contemporaries - including Chris Hillman, Emmylou Harris and Keith Richards.

"He was a member of the Byrds and founder and frontman of the Flying Burrito Brothers. He was best friend to Keith Richards and mentor to Emmylou Harris. And he revolutionized music, combining country and rock when the two were like oil and water. Gram Parsons may have been only twenty-six when he died in 1973, but he was already well on his way to becoming one of the most influential musicians of all time." "A collaboration between journalist Jessica Hundley and Gram's daughter, Polly Parsons, Grievous Angel is part biography, part visual scrapbook - a compilation of conversations and never-before-seen photos and unpublished letters, all interwoven with a retelling of Gram's tale." "Featuring dozens of interviews with everyone from Bright Eyes and Elvis Costello to Willie Nelson and Steve Earle, Grievous Angel is an exploration of how Gram's legacy has spanned the decades, still inspiring both his contemporaries and today's artists, thirty-odd years after his tragic death."--BOOK JACKET.
