Fallen Angel: Gram Parsons
Year Released: 2004
Directed By: Gandulf Hennig
(NR, 103 min.)



Gram Parsons died for his sins in Joshua Tree, 1973, at the age of 26. From Florida to Harvard, through the Byrds and around the Rolling Stones, the rich Southern scion left a trail of country converts crying in their beer. First-time director Gandulf Hennig, working with Parsons authority Sid Griffin, gets it right, from Flying Burrito Brothers footage and Keith Richards to the soundtrack, Nudie suits, and photo slide show. At Monday's show, the director will be in attendance and Li'l Cap'n Travis will perform. – Raoul Hernandez
