Gram Parsons and company merge country music and rock music so naturally that it becomes hard to remember how unusual this once sounded. “Sin City,” “Christine’s Tune,” and “Hot Burrito #1” mix heartbreak, cosmic imagery, and Bakersfield-style twang into something simultaneously worn-out and visionary. Sneaky Pete Kleinow’s pedal steel gives the album its strange psychedelic shimmer. The record helped invent country-rock, but it’s too emotionally bruised and eccentric to fit neatly into genre history. Its sadness feels loose and lived-in rather than polished.
