How We Pack

Your order will always be packed in a top-of-line box specifically designed to ship vinyl records—made from high quality cardboard built to prevent seam splits & corner bends.

Everything inside your shipment will be bubble wrapped for added bump & drop protection, with as much extra filler material needed for a snug, safe ride to you.

As an additional free service, your records can be opened to have their discs shipped behind the jacket to prevent seam splits. Just tick the box below the add to bag button.

Description

After a summer tour, Gram Parsons dashed off a couple of new songs ('Return Of The Grievous Angel,' 'In My Hour Of Darkness'), dusted off a few old ones (including 'Hickory Wind' and '$1000 Wedding' from his days with The Byrds and The Flying Burrito Brothers, respectively) and convened his band in the studio to cut his second Reprise album. With Grievious Angel in the can, Parsons headed for Joshua Tree, California, and history.

Released a few months after his untimely demise there, this 1974 album stands among his best work as a shining example of the cosmic American music he pioneered, with superb playing from the likes of guitarist James Burton, and some beautiful harmonizing from Emmylou Harris (and on the final track, Linda Ronstadt). Tracks such as 'Brass Buttons,' 'Return of the Grievous Angel,' and 'Love Hurts' (a duet for the ages) carry emotional weight and effortless beauty, delivered with the warmth and immediacy only analog recording can capture. Every note feels alive - the pedal steel sighs, the harmonies soar, and Parsons' voice, tender and world-weary, sits perfectly in the center of the soundstage. Though Parsons passed away before the album's release, Grievous Angel became his legacy - the work that turned cult admiration into lasting influence. It's impact can be heard in generations of artists, from the Eagles to Wilco, from Lucinda Williams to Sturgill Simpson. Cut from the original analog masters, Grievous Angel offers that unmistakable '70s depth and presence. Grievous Angel endures because it's a pure, analog expression of beauty, longing, and timeless sound.
