If he had lived he probably would have redefined it for everybody." Keith Richards "I knew Gram quite well. He was one of the few people who helped me to sing country music. Before that, Keith and I would just copy off records." Mick Jagger "Gram was one of the pioneers of music. The problem is he was always ahead of his time." Emmylou Harris "To my mind, Gram Parsons was up there with Hank Williams." Elvis Costello "Of all the unsung heroes of rock and roll, few are more fascinating than Gram Parsons. HICKORY WIND is an unforgettable tale of heartbreak, suicide, frayed courage and infinite nights, each chapter pulsing with a sweetly cadent snarl called country rock." Timothy White, author of Rock Lives "HICKORY WIND is one of the more compelling tales ever about populär music and culture." Chet Flippo, author of Your Cheatin Heart Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 400. Seller Inventory # 44407

From the Publisher:

"The cream of the crop [of rock books] ... Fong-Torres writes a fan's appreciation of Parsons that does not skimp on the harsh truth." -Steve Morse, THE BOSTON GLOBE

"A remarkable job of tracking the life of Mr. Parsons... The writing is clear and the tales ring true as he follows a seminal figure of country rock from his birth into a citrus-moneyed family in Winter Haven, Florida, to his drug-related death in the high desert town of Joshua Tree, California." --ATLANTA JOURNAL-CONSTITUTION

"A saddening piece of reading, but one which members of Parsons' large cult will find essential."

-MUSICIAN magazine

"The first clear picture of a musical genius." --SOUTH BEND TRIBUNE (Indiana)
