Kind of an "up our alley" article.

Subject: GP, GC and No Depression

The April issue of Discoveries has a long article on Rebel Roots music (aka
cowpunk, No Depression, alternative country, Americana, ...). As expected,
there are several references to the Byrds, Gram Parsons and the FBBs. FWIW,
the author lists and comments on his "top 10 essential Rebel Roots albums",
which include

   2. Gram Parsons - GP/Grievous Angel
  "Okay so I love him too. A perfect pairing of Parsons' two solo
  albums. A great starter kit for nascent fans and veteran
  worshippers. It stands as two of the most beautiful albums ever
  made."

   5. Gene Clark - Flyin' High
  "A brilliant double disc career retrospective that will make
  you bow to a new alter [sic?]."

For those of you who like me are trying to make some sense out of this whole
No Depression thing, the other top 10-ers were:

   1. The Old 97's - Too Far to Care
   3. Richard Buckner - Bloomed
   4. Steve Earle - Train Kept A'Comin'
   6. The Jayhawks - Tomorrow the Green Grass
   7. Patty Griffin - Living with Ghosts
   8. Lone Justice - Lone Justice
   9. Scud Mountain Boys - Massachusetts
   10. The Beat Farmers - Tales of the New West

If you're checking the newsstand for this issue, it's the one with
Lucinda Williams on the cover.

Tower Records across the street has lots of copies, next to the latest
issue of Goldmine, with Ian Hunter on the cover.
