Hickory Wind: The Life and Times of Gram Parsons

Gram Parsons lived hard and died young, and left behind a musical legacy that has influenced generations of rock and country legends. Ben Fong-Torres's account of his story - from his poor-little-rich-kid childhood; through his seminal time with the Byrds and his own bands, the Flying Burrito Brothers and the Fallen Angels; to days and nights spent with the likes of Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, and Emmylou Harris - is a classic of rock biography. This newly expanded edition updates the text and discography, adds rare new photographs, and concludes with an epilogue that answers some lingering questions about Gram's untimely death - and raises a few more.
