Walter, I found Gram's Grievous Angel to be quite a bit better than his first, mostly because his tendency to go flat is minimized. There are great songs, including his nice duet with Emmylou on The Every Brothers' "Love Hurts", and a great band. Real fine album. Have you heard The Continental Drifters recording of his "A Song For You"? Better than the original (on Gram's GP album).
