Description

Plus solo live recordings spanning his career and a live album from the Gene Parsons Band. Along with unreleased studio demos. Recorded between multi-instrumentalist Gene Parsons' membership of The Byrds and The Flying Burrito Brothers, his 1973 debut solo album 'Kindling' is a country rock and bluegrass classic that also features his friend and fellow ex-Byrd Clarence White on several tracks. Parsons demonstrates his versatility by contributing guitar, banjo, pedal steel, harmonica, bass and drums. Acclaimed author of Are You Ready For The Country, Peter Doggett has written the notes for this box and describes 'Kindling' as "a joyous collection of bluegrass and country-tinged songwriting on which it's star demonstrated a dazzling multi-instrumental virtuosity. " This 5CD set is an essential release for Byrds and country rock fans and also includes Parsons' second solo album 'Melodies' from 1979, an entirely solo live recording 'I Hope They Let Us In' that spanned his entire career including versions of Byrds' favourites 'Gunga Din' and 'Bugler', plus a batch of mainly unissued 1980s studio recordings that were planned for his third solo album, and fantastic live recordings by the Gene Parsons Band. Gene Parsons played in the band Nashville West with Clarence White before they both joined The Byrds and the pair invented the StringBender in 1967 that changes the pitch of the B string on a guitar to create a pedal steel sound. They played together on The Byrds' albums 'Dr. Byrds And Mr. Hyde' (1969), 'The Ballad Of Easy Rider' (1969), '(Untitled)' (1970), 'Byrdmaniax' (1971) and 'Farther Along' (1971).
