Free Music Notes for Sleepless Nights
Free Music Review: Sleepless Nights is Great
Hit: 5 Stars
I wouldn't say Sleepless Nights was my complete introduction to Gram Parsons, but it was the first I bought. I came in through the back door as it were becoming an Emmylou Harris fan first, particularly the great Elite Hotel album, and a friend had gotten Sleepless Nights. Oh yeah, the guy from the Burrito Brothers, a group that I never quite got into!
Then I heard Brand New Heartache, and I was hooked. I have been a huge Gram Parsons fan ever since. While I have gone back and gotten all the rest, this one still holds a special place for me.
This collection of course takes Brand New Heartache and two others with Emmylou and puts them together with nine that Gram did with the Burritos. Some have complained about the quality of the Burrito songs, but I instead prefer to think the real reason they were not originally included in their two albums with Gram was that the Gilded Palace of Sin already had a few covers on it, and the balance of that album might have been put too much over to the covers side with more. Burrito Deluxe from all accounts was quite simply a poorly conceived project they were not sure what they wanted to do with.
The nine covers here from the Burrito Bros. may not have been written by Gram, but they certainly show his approach, his phrasing, his feel, to fine effect.
The three songs with Emmylou are great.
What you will find here are three tunes that should have been included with Gram's efforts with Emmylou with the nine covers from the Burrito days. I find the whole album quite effective and not really disjointed at all in melding these two periods. To the contrary the nine tunes fit quite well with the type of material Gram did in the Emmylou period. Keep an open mind and you will find this to be a five star outing.
