Return Of The Grievous Angel – Gram Parsons
Gram Parsons — "Return of The Grievous Angel" Recorded, 1973, not long before Parsons lost his life to a drug overdose. Gram Parsons saw an Elvis Presley concert in February, 1956 in Waycross, GA, and got an autograph after the show. He then decided to become a musician. Elvis "TCB Band," later the core of Grams friend Emmylou Harris "Hot Band," played with Gram Parsons on this song, and on two albums. "Pick it, James!" So, what is this song "about"? Some have claimed "The Grievous Angel" is actually a truck: an 18-Wheeler. Well, thats one idea. Is it biographical, or autobiographical? All biography is autobiography, as Parsons makes so clear in this song. What is a Calico Bonnet? Everyone has one, I guess, of one kind or another.
