Out Here on this Lonesome Sea...

    Maybe it's the lonesome way my soul has been driven to during this ridiculous flat spell (doesn't the ocean know I have a new board to try out?), but I've been listening to a lot of the mournful late-60s early-70s country rock of Gram Parsons lately. Well, not all of it is down, but it's all very, very good, from the International Submarine Band, through his stint with the Byrds to the Flying Burrito Brothers to his solo stuff released right before his untimely demise in '73. I suggest you discover everything he did or had a hand in, because it's all good.










If the Riptide Wranglers ever become a band, they will cover many Gram Parsons songs.
