Topic: Gram Parsons documentary on BBC 4 on 5th March (Stones content) Return to archive

Gazza A 90-minute Gram Parsons special is being televised on the satellite channel BBC Four on Friday 5th March at 10.00 pm and will be repeated on Saturday 6th March at 11.30 pm. According to another preview I read yesterday, it includes an interview on Gram with Keith Richards.


From the BBC's website:



Gram Parsons: Fallen Angel

The definitive documentary on Gram Parsons, the cult auteur of country-rock, who came from rich Southern stock to join The Byrds, befriend The Rolling Stones, and then invent country-rock with The Flying Burrito Brothers and as a solo artist with protege Emmylou Harris.

Parsons died a rock and roll death in the Californian desert in 1973. His body was then taken by his buddy and road manager and burnt in the desert near Joshua Tree. Parsons was 26 years old.

His music and his legend continues to fascinate and influence musicians and music fans including the likes of The Eagles, REM, Elvis Costello and Dwight Yoakum, all of whom contribute to this film.

Written by Parsons' biographer and ex-Long Ryder Sid Griffin and German filmmaker Gandulf Hennig, Fallen Angel is a forensic examination of the collision between Parsons' family background, his desire for stardom, his musical vision and talent and the increasingly lethal world of rock and roll in LA in the early 70s.
