The three hundred and twenty-sixth album: #326 Gram Parsons - Grievous Angel

It's rare for a country album to fully connect with me and Gram Parsons' Grievous Angel doesn't seem to make any attempt to do so. The music is so generically country that I don't find anything I really enjoy in there, while lyrically it doesn't have much more for me. The maudlin parts don't connect and the more upbeat parts are less common and don't have much of an impact. It's exactly what you expect of a country rock album, including the rowdy audience for a track or two, and it's not one that impresses me.
