‘Twenty Thousand Roads, The Ballad of Gram Parsons and His Cosmic American Music’. American paperback published in 2008 by Villard Books.  Researched and written by David N. Meyer this is an impressive and detailed biography of the troubled songster (1946-1973). Gram Parsons popularized what he called ‘Cosmic American Music’ (hence the title) a hybrid of country, rhythm, blues, soul, folk and rock and developed a perhaps unlikely friendship with Keith Richards from the Rolling Stones. Contains some black & white photos of Parsons.
