 Description
In 1968, the Flying Burrito Brothers released The Gilded Palace of Sin on A&M Records,selling a disappointing 400,000 copies. Almost forty years later, front man Gram Parsons, is still spoken of with almost messianic reverence. Patron saint of alt-country, emblazoned with a shining cross, dead at 26. Overshadowed by Parsons, this album remains an anomaly in the country rock genre, a map in miniature of a moment in music, and warrants discussion as more than part of the Gram Parsons legacy. Bob Proehl's book uses the Seven Deadly Sins as a kind of structuring device to look at an album that plays as fast and loose with its religious images as it does with its genre-borrowing. Author
Bob Proehl runs No Radio Records - a record store and label based in Ithaca, NY. He is also the publisher and editor of Tugboat Captain Press, a poetry imprint. http://www.amazon.com/dp/0826429033/?tag=imwan-20
