Great Albums – 1970s: #GramParsons - #GrievousAngel (1974). Parsons’s last LP before his tragic death bridged country and rock without the chilling effect such hybrids can have on both genres. Originals like “Brass Buttons” and “In My Hour of Darkness” sound timeless as the Tom T. Hall and Louvin Brothers chestnuts he interprets. Emmylou Harris is a key accomplice, harmonizing with Parsons like an angel taming the demons ready to haul him off.
