Review

Entertainment Weekly (5/4/01, p.71) - "...If you're curious but uninformed about [this] giant, start here..." - Rating: B-
Q (8/01, p.154) - 5 stars out of 5 - "...Essential...standing with the very best of American roots music..."
Q (p.124) - 4 stars out of 5 - "Without Parsons, there would have been no Americana, and country might have faded away with old-style rock'n'roll."
Uncut (p.116) - 5 stars out of 5 - "[T]he music he made has lost none of its magic - these honky tonk laments, country death songs and heartbreaking ballads remain uniquely unforgettable, forever haunting, eternally beautiful."
Mojo (Publisher) (7/01, p.118) - "...It's pretty much primo stuff if you think The Jayhawks are as important as Merle Haggard..."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.112) - 4 stars out of 5 - "[T]here's some great music here - country, soul and cosmic - and most still sounds fresh."

Were it not for Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris, the universally acknowledged king and queen of progressive country, countless young alt-counry bands would have never donned their faded Levi's and battered Telecasters in the first place, and even if they did, they'd surely sound a lot different. In 2001, the smart folks at Rhino Records saw fit to release comprehensive two-disc anthologies of both Harris and Parsons, highlighting the way the pair (separately and together) introduced post-Beatles folk and rock sensibilities into country and expanded it without diluting it.

This set chronicles the steps along Parson's path toward creating country-rock, from the hardcore honky-tonk of his International Submarine Band to his ground-breaking work with the Byrds and definitive country-rockers the Flying Burrito Brothers to his transcendent solo albums (where Harris proved a valuable vocal partner). While there's plenty of unadulterated country on this collection, it's the intersection between rock and country, an idea still fresh in its infancy, that is the pivot point here. Parsons's blend of drugged-out imagery, bluegrass fire-and-brimstone, and honky-tonk hell-raising informs tragedy ("$1000 Wedding"), reckless abandon ("Wheels"), piety ("In My Hour of Darkness"), and Americana narrative ("Return of the Grievous Angel") with equal aplomb.
