Continuing on the Gram theme here’s a fantastic one hour audio documentary hosted by the venerable Bob Harris who takes a look back at the enigma that is Gram Parsons, contributions from Polly Parsons, Emmylou Harris, Keith Richards, Phil Kaufman and some rare words of wisdom from the legend himself. (Can’t recall how I got this so no acknowledgement) Grievous Angel – The Gram Parsons Story – Part 1 Grievous Angel – The Gram Parsons Story – Part 2  Own Side Now http://www.lhschiefer.com/ Louise Haywood-Schiefer Caitlin Rose has been gathering some thoroughly deserved good press in the UK ahead of her first full length album due in August, it’s an album I’m really looking forward, here’s a taster in the form of a couple of session tracks that Caitlin recorded for Ricky Ross Another Country show back in April, the session was recorded in Nashville with Ross putting the questions to Caitlin from Scotland – unable to get over the water because of the infamous Icelandic volcano and resulting ash cloud. Both the Dead Flowers EP (still available on 10″ vinyl at Roughtrade and the Gorilla Man 7″ have become firm favourites and the tracks I’ve heard so far from the new album are sounding great.

Robison performed two live session tracks and had a chat with Bob about the album, the divorce and Austin versus San Antoine, his album Beautiful Day has being one of the muscial highlights for me this year and he performed two acoustic tracks from the record during the session Down Again and the title track, before the session closed with one of my favourite tracks from the Beautiful Day album Feeling Good.For any overseas readers who may not have come across Bob Harris before, the . . . → Read More: Charlie Robison – BBC Session “Beautiful Day”  |
