Product Information

Gram Parsons lived fast, died young, and left a beautiful corpsea corpse his friends stole, took to Joshua Tree National Monument, and set afire in its coffin. The theft and burning of his body marked the end of Gram Parsons' life and the beginning of the Gram Parsons legend. As a singer and songwriter, Gram Parsons stood at the nexus of countless musical crossroads, and he sold his soul to the devil at every one. Parson hung out with glamorous women and the coolest friends. His intimates and collaborators on his journey included Keith Richards, William Burroughs, Marianne Faithfull, Peter Fonda, Roger McGuinn, Clarence White, and Emmylou Harris. Parsons had everythinglooks, charisma, money, style, the best drugs, the most heartbreaking voiceand threw it all away with both hands. His ballad is one of gigantic talent colliding with epic self-destruction. Parsons led the Byrds to create the seminal country rock masterpiece Sweetheart of the Rodeo. He formed the Flying Burrito Brothers, helped to guide the Rolling Stones beyond the blues in their appreciation of American roots music, and found his musical soul mate in Emmylou Harris. Parsons' solo albums, GP and Grievous Angel, are now recognized as visionary masterpieces of the transcendental jambalaya of rock, soul, country, gospel, and blues Parsons named "Cosmic American Music." Four months before Grievous Angel was released, Parsons died of a drug and alcohol overdose at age twenty-six. In this beautifully written, raucous, meticulously researched biography, David N. Meyer gives Parsons' mythic life its due. From Parsons' privileged Southern Gothic upbringing to his early career in Greenwich Village's folk music scene to his Sunset Strip glory days, Twenty Thousand Roads paints an unprecedented portrait of the man who linked country to rock. Parsons' creative genius gave birth to a new sound that was rooted in the past but heralded the future. From interviews with hundreds of the famous and obscure who knew and worked closely with Parsonsmany who have never spoken publicly about him beforeMeyer conjures a dazzling panorama of the artist and his era. Shedding new light and dispelling old myths, Twenty Thousand Roads is a breakthrough in rock-and-roll biography and morea chronicle of creativity, drugs, excess, culture, and music in the ferment of late-1960s America.

    WORTH THE WAIT!

    I've wanted to purchase this book for years but it was too expensive. So when I saw it at this price, I grabbed it! I've never really been familiar with this artist; but I've heard so much about him that I decided to give this biography a chance. This book is very informative and well-written. Its easy to read and it captures your attention from the first page. Got a nice copy too! Would definitely recommend this.

    Existential book on Gram Parsons!

    Highly recommended for those who love music, Gram Parsons and rock & roll/country history. Author David Meyer is a extremely skilled and thorough journalist, he leaves no fact or quote unexplored. This is the existential book to read! I have it in e-book, so chock full of information I've read it over again. Now I have a hard copy for my personal library.

    Twenty Thousand Roads

    This biography of Gram Parsons is far more than an in-depth look at the short, intense musical career and influences of Parsons. It is almost encyclopedic in its account of how the changing of personnel and friends within bands such as the Byrds and Rolling Stones and their subsequent influence on their style of music (as well as other pivotal bands within the music culture of the 60's and early 70's) culminated in the melding of blues, gospel, folk, country, and rock into what Gram Parsons dreamed of creating-Cosmic American Music. The depth of the author's research, as well as his candid interviews with people from Parsons' family to Music Hall of Famers, place this book head and shoulders above other bios of Parsons and make it a must read for any serious or casual student of the ...

    Twenty Thousand Roads..great title!

    I have been waiting for a book like this for many years....and finally!!!! There were some photos that I had not seen and the writing was very detailed. I'm ready to read it again incase I missed something. The writer put alot of time and effort in interviewing these people that knew Gram and I was very impressed. Little Avis lived in Virginia Beach, VA and I would see her backstage with her children when Emmy came to town. Some photos of Avis can be seen on Emmylou.net.....links. Truly, this is the BEST book about Gram!!

    Twenty Thousands Roads by David Meyer (2007) Recommended book! It has probably the most accesible aspects of Gram Parsons story of music and life, and tells a story about how narcotic drugs, pills and alcohol destroy a very talented guy. A real sad story, well written by David Meyer
