Gram Parsons review on Pitchfork
 

Fuck, he's hip now?

He totally needs the exposure that can only be brought about via this particular tastemaking powerhouse.

fuck the hipsters! gram parsons was amazing!!

Sorry, 'oo's this Gram fellow then?

some sort of Hee Haw character?

With or without a tragic mystique, country-rock is still pretty goddamn annoying.

No, it's not.

Hey, I tried to like this stuff, I really did. I know a lot of people with great taste who rate Mr. Parsons very highly. I can't do it.
A little Burrito Bros. is as far as I can go.

And yes, he is to blame for being a formative influence on a lot of really terrible bands.

all that SHIT sucks.

country, old country, rules; i love it.

I like stuff like Johnny Cash, Hank Williams Sr., and Patsy Cline. I think all of that stuff is rather good.

But new CMT country makes me want to drive a spike through my head.

Gram is very cool. International Submarine Band, Flying Burrito Bros., the solo Gram LPs. I love this stuff.
