Album Notes & Community Reviews
With a pristine backing band featuring Elvis Presley's guitarist James Burton and the incredible harmony vocals of a young Emmylou Harris, Gram Parsons perfected his 'Cosmic American Music' vision. 'GP' is a remarkably warm, deeply mellow country-rock classic, delivering wonderfully pastoral, fiercely melodic honky-tonk anthems and beautifully introspective, soft romantic ballads.
