The Days Before

fyeahmetal If Gram Parsons had put out this record, it would be considered a stone-cold classic - it's that good. I saw these guys a few times when they were coming up playing classic country covers, and it's clear that they've learned from the masters, because the songwriting is off the charts here. Each song is a gem, with memorable characters, lovely vocal harmonies, and a rich sonic bed of guitars and pedal steel. I'm a big fan of old-school country, and this record is up there with the best. Favorite track: The Murder Will Fly.
