Description

On this episode, we explore the unlikely 1968 masterpiece the Byrds released with the heavy influence of a new and fleeting member of the group. Gram Parsons was an Ivey League, trust-fund baby who followed his own drummer. He was a member of the Byrds for a short time, but in that time, he  helped create one of the most influential albums of all time. Without this album, it's unlikely we'd see the country rock of the Eagles or the alt country movement of the late 80s. Find out more about this fascinating album, this fascinating band, and this one of the most fascinating people in popular music.
