Free Music Notes for The Complete Reprise Sessions
Free Music Review: Great collection with wonderful alternate takes!
Hit: 5 Stars
The two regular LP's ("GP" and "Grievous Angel") re-released in this collection have been released together (and more inexpensively) on a single CD elsewhere. So why buy this collection? Well, the most immediately obvious reason is that it's nicely presented: a sturdy box and with a nice booklet with lots of cool and rare photos.
The best reason, though is the third disc of alternate takes. I know lots of folks will say, "Yeah, sure, I've heard THAT before!" What I'll share is that, almost alone amongst all the thousands of reissues promising "revealing" alternate takes, this one really delivers the goods! The primary reason is that the alternate takes allow you to hear Gram and Emmylou working on their harmonies and, in some amazing instances, the alternate takes are better.
The very best example is "Return of the Grievous Angel #1." As the "#1" would suggest, it's an early take and Gram and Emmylou are still working on the harmonies and remembering the words. Their performance, however, is full of daring harmony ideas they left off the final version and is so utterly charming that it makes the "final" version sound mannered and stiff by comparison. After a listen or two, it'll be your favorite version.
Of course, the opportunity to hear some of the greatest backing musicians in the world working up their parts and going through the same type of discovery is also awesome to hear. Don't miss this collection!
The Complete Reprise Sessions Poster
Singer-songwriter Gram Parsons, the architect of country-rock and patron saint of American roots music-"alt" and otherwise-died in 1973 at age 26, but the enormity of his influence remains constant. Florida-born and Georgia-bred, Parsons began playing at age 14 and launched his first group, the International Submarine Band, in NYC in the late '60s. Transplanted to L.A., he joined the Byrds, shaping their landmark album Sweetheart Of The Rodeo, and made further musical history with the Flying Burrito Brothers. After discovering Emmylou Harris playing in a D.C. bar, he went on to record two now-legendary solo LPs, GP and Grievous Angel, that spotlight the peerless harmony of their divergent voices, hers angelic and pure, his ragged and scorched by his demons. Rhino's historic set presents those two soulful albums remastered and expanded, plus a third disc of precious alternate takes from those recordings.Country Music CDs
