On March 3, 1972, Chuck Cassell taped a lengthy interview with Gram Parsons at A&M Records, with the purpose of getting some background information for the Flying Burrito Brothers' then-upcoming live album The Last of the Red Hot Burritos (even though Parsons didn't actually play on the recording). It's turned out to far outlive its original design, both since it was an extremely in-depth interview covering Parsons' entire career up to that point, and since there wouldn't be many more opportunities for such interviews with him, as he died a year-and-a-half later. This CD doesn't have the whole interview, but it does have a 69-minute excerpt, in which Parsons talks frankly about the Byrds, the Burritos, the International Submarine Band, and country music. Along the way are some sharp criticisms of some of the people he worked with, including Chris Hillman, Michael Clarke, Chris Ethridge, and producers Jim Dickson and Terry Melcher, though some praise for Hillman is granted as well. He's particularly critical of fellow Burritos Clarke and Ethridge's unsuitability, in his view, as country-rock players. The sound quality isn't great, and Cassell's questions aren't clearly audible, but this doesn't matter so much, since Parsons' answers are easily understood, and it's a spoken-word disc anyway. A much longer transcript of this interview, incidentally, appears in Sid Griffin's book Gram Parsons: A Music Biography. ~ Richie Unterberger

Average Rating: (4 out of 5 stars) 4 stars

4 stars GP interview is much cleaner than bootleg
I have a copy of this interview that was given to me on a cassette several years ago. Unfortunately the cassette version has a lot of tape hiss and it's hard to understand the interviewer thru most of it. This new CD version is well cleaned up. Most of the interviewer's questions are clear. This is a fun interview to listen to. It gives much insight into the life and times of one of my all time favorite people, Gram Parsons. The interview takes place in 1972 only about a year before Gram's untimely death. Perhaps those new to Gram should check out the two albums he recorded in 1973, GP and Grievous Angel, and then listen to the interview CD. They'll probably get more out of it. Once you start getting into Gram you'll want everything he ever did, including his work with the International Submarine Band, The Byrds, The Flying Burrito Brothers, Emmylou Harris and of course his solo albums.

Big Mouth Blues: A Conversation With Gram Parsons. album
CD $11.65  4 stars
England's the Cooper Temple Clause were an instant success with music fans and undeniably claimed the unofficial title of British Music Magazine's "Darlings of 2002," earning popularity and respect in equal measures throughout the year. On See This Through and Leave, no less than five singles are collated together with equally impressive album tracks to provide one of the most accomplished debut efforts of any British rock band since Mansun or Muse. Creepy opener "Did You Miss Me?" draws you in unsubtly before dispatching you to experience the pulsating "Film-Maker," a trademark song if ever there was one. With its searing guitar and two-part harmonies synonymous with Brit rock, the melody is direct, and like the rest of the album, the lyrics are unnerving in their ambiguity. It's already relentless stuff, but there's little sign of a reprise as it segues into the Primal Scream-inspired "Panzer Attack," where you learn that naming a song after a type of military tank is quite deliberate, not in the heavyweight sense but in its driving incessancy. It would be obvious for the album to maintain this tempo, but on the classy single "Who Needs Enemies?" vocalist Ben Gautrey reminds listeners "A killer-key change is all you'll ever need." That, and some delicately weighted horn fills. There's a healthy electronic input too, especially on the divulging "555-4823," which builds a captivating if slightly wobbly bridge between the singles "Let's Kill Music" and "Been Training Dogs," sampling all things British, including the chimes of Big Ben and a BBC Radio news bulletin. After hammering out the riff-driven "Been Training Dogs" and the equally powerful "The Lake," there's a necessity to ...

I recorded it in my studio, playing all the parts on my keyboard or live instruments and did all the vocals and harmonies. It was a fun project and while traveling back to Cleveland (to a family get together) I grabbed a couple tapes to play on the trip and really didn’t know what was on them and while on the road discovered recordings I did on piano with my Sax buddy Clark Reily back in the 80’s in California. That will be the next CD called…Then and Now! I’ll be taking those basic piano and sax tracks and wrap arrangements around them. Also, while performing out during the recording of ‘True To My Heart’ — I got a lot of requests for more flute work…also coming soon…a Latin standard CD with lot’s of Flute and Guitar work.
