Herein are recorded myriad revealing interviews with the late Parsons’ closest friends and associates including fellow Byrd and Burrito, Chris Hillman, Emmylou Harris, Peter Fonda, Jim Stafford, John Nuese, Paul Surrat, Marley Brant, and recently unearthed oral history from Parsons himself. Griffin, a card-carrying member of the Los Angeles country-influenced New Wave, and GP friend John Delgatto have compiled the most extensive array of photographs from all aspects of Parsons’ life yet amassed. They have endeavored to bring you a comprehensive, substantial examination that does not belie its origin as a labor of love” from the rear cover.
