This week we discuss Gram Parsons, the artist credited with creating numerous country sub-genres, including country-rock, cosmic country, and alt-country. Joining us this week is comedian and cartoonist, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/madelinehorwath/">Madeline Horwath</a> (The New Yorker), a Gram fan and expert.
