A RETURN TO SIN CITY-A TRIBUTE TO GRAM PARSONS. Various artists do the songs of the late country rock musician (The Byrds, Flying Burrito Brothers) with good turns by Steve Earle, Lucinda Williams, Raul Palo, James Burton although it's odd Emmylou Harris and Chris Hillman are missing. Sadly not missing is Keith Richards who introduced Parsons to a darker drug usage and it's downright embarrassing watching him shamble and croak, especially on the "Love Hurts" duet with Norah Jones
