Next week's album: Buena Vista Social Club - Buena Vista Social Club

Gram Parsons had a dream of creating and popularizing cosmic american music: a mix of country, rock, and Americana. After a stint in The Byrds he began his solo career strong and had a follow up album (Grievous Angel) in the can, but died tragically before it could see release. The boys discuss tasty pedal steel licks, under-rehearsed yet somehow perfect harmonies, and funeral pacts with outlaw biker pals.
