5.0 out of 5 stars I saw my devil
Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2012

Hey, you word psychopaths downstream from my borrowed water: Some of these songs are like my favorite intellectual underwear. Schools of thought exist for people who believe in using words within the limits established by consensus. Roger McGuinn and Gram Parsons wrote a song about a Drug Store Truck Drivin' Man who got him a medal, he won in the war, it weighs 500 pounds and it sleeps on his floor. Emmylou Harris and Gram Parsons wrote In My Hour of Darkness, in which a deadly Denver bend ends the life in the first verse. Gram Parsons' life ended in Room 8 of the Joshua Tree Inn back in September, 1973, and the movie about stealing his body to burn it in the desert is called  Grand Theft Parsons .

What I need most to play these songs is a melody to match the words and chords. A few measures have some bass lines that are fun to play when I am on the piano. I previously used an open tuning to play In My Hour of Darkness, but I am not a rock star because I'm not an entertainer. In The Return of the Grievous Angel, the line about a good saloon in every single town has not set well in my intellectual death wish sweepstakes outlook. I have an attraction to death that is just not real for people disquised as normal within the social systems of mutual support. When Gram Parsons wants love, he sings: you better love me, Jesus Christ!

I never heard of Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris back when Gram Parsons was alive. Emmylou Harris sang many of the songs, but Ooh, Las Vegas was never my favorite gambling addiction:

The first time I lose I drink whisky.
The second time I lose I drink gin.
The third time I lose I drink anything
'cause I think I'm gonna win.

I spend all night with the dealer,
trying to get ahead.
I spend all day at the Holiday Inn
trying to get out of bed.

Unfortunately, I am living in America, where the high life is more like Gram Parsons than my egotistical sublime. What we share is the courage to speak out like rock and roll dominates American culture. Any form of politics that puts militaristic words psychopaths on TV like an abomination bin Laden manure spreader ought to hold its dung fire. I have a wish to be as immature as those who died young thinking anything further couldn't be real, like the ordinary religion of every day life, Jesus Christ!

As a musician, this is very difficult to read & play guitar at the same time. I should have gotten a hard copy.

After years of reading inaccurate tabs on the internet and tracking down any of Gram's music possible I was overjoyed to find an accurate songbook of some of the best songs written and/or preformed by Gram Parsons. I'm ready for volume Two.

Gram Parsons was one of the all time great song writers. This book contains some of his best songs and they are actually easy to learn. The simplicity of Parsons' songs makes them even more beautiful.
