Gram Parsons' legendary solo career is examined in the new issue of Uncut, out on Thursday (January 3, 2013).
The back-to-basics approach of the country-rock singer's acclaimed GP and Grievous Angel albums were in sharp contrast to the more psychedelic work of his previous group, The Flying Burrito Brothers.
Parsons' collaborator in his early band, The International Submarine Band, Ian Dunlop explains: "He’d got into a maze with the Burritos. The thing about the GP album is that he’s coming out of that maze wanting to make pure country music again.
The Charlatans' frontman Tim Burgess has revealed that he has teamed up with Kellogg's to launch his own breakfast cereal, which is called 'Totes Amazeballs'.
Production of the cereal, which you can see by scrolling down to the bottom of the page, came about after Burgess tweeted a joke that he wanted to launch his own cereal. Bizarrely, Kellogg's then got in touch with the singer and asked him if he wanted to produce the cereal.
