5CD - UK Import

 5CD set, an essential release for Byrds and country rock fans.

• Featuring two solo albums from The Byrds/Flying Burrito Brothers member.

• Plus solo live recordings spanning his career and a live album from the Gene Parsons Band.

• Along with unreleased studio demos.

Recorded between multi-instrumentalist Gene Parsons’ membership of The Byrds and The Flying Burrito Brothers, his 1973 debut solo album ‘Kindling’ is a country rock and bluegrass classic that also features his friend and fellow ex-Byrd Clarence White on several tracks. Parsons demonstrates his versatility by contributing guitar, banjo, pedal steel, harmonica, bass and drums.

Acclaimed author of Are You Ready For The Country, Peter Doggett has written the notes for this box and describes ‘Kindling’ as “a joyous collection of bluegrass and country-tinged songwriting on which its star demonstrated a dazzling multi-instrumental virtuosity.”

This 5CD set is an essential release for Byrds and country rock fans and also includes Parsons’ second solo album ‘Melodies’ from 1979, an entirely solo live recording ‘I Hope They Let Us In’ that spanned his entire career including versions of Byrds’ favourites ‘Gunga Din’ and ‘Bugler’, plus a batch of mainly unissued 1980s studio recordings that were planned for his third solo album, and fantastic live recordings by the Gene Parsons Band.

Gene Parsons played in the band Nashville West with Clarence White before they both joined The Byrds and the pair invented the StringBender in 1967 that changes the pitch of the B string on a guitar to create a pedal steel sound. They played together on The Byrds’ albums ‘Dr. Byrds And Mr. Hyde’ (1969), ‘The Ballad Of Easy Rider’ (1969), ‘(Untitled)’ (1970), ‘Byrdmaniax’ (1971) and ‘Farther Along’ (1971).

Parsons’ solo album ‘Kindling’ (1973) also features White. When White died in July 1973 after being hit by a drunk driver, Parsons was devastated and a tour to promote ‘Kindling’ was cancelled and the album initially fell under the radar. Parsons joined The Flying Burrito Brothers and played on their ‘Flying Again’ (1975) and ‘Airborne’ (1976) albums before reverting to a solo career with ‘Melodies’.

CD 1 of this box includes Parsons’ two solo studio albums ‘Kindling’ and ‘Melodies’, CD 2 includes the entirely solo live recording ‘I Hope They Let Us In’, CDs 3, 4 and 5 feature live recordings with the Gene Parsons Band and CD 5 is completed with 1980s studio demos for a third solo album.

Never would have expected this little book to bring so much joy to my grandkids <3
Format: Paperback
This little story is a charmer and would make the sweetest gift for a child for Valentine's day !! I orderd it for my grandkids ( the baby bears ) they are 6 ..4 ..and 2 and I can honestly say they were both laughing while reading it to me ..they had already read it 3 times in 2 days and me and there mom also got a kick out of it The story is about a boy who is making Valentines day cards for his classmates but he was upset with a few of them one for making fun of his glasses and he devoted to write something not super nice more of a silly ryme and bc he didn't want to say something nice to them he didn't sign his name to those 2 cards and they end up figuring it out ..the book ends very nice with a apology and they all forgave each other ..it's such a great book and the silly humor really ticked the kids so happy I took a chance and got it ..I highly recommend this cute book

Great fun Valentines story for young children
Format: Paperback
Totally silly and fun for Valentines! Enjoyed reading a story with a moral to it about being a bully and returning harshness back, vengeful behavior. All in a silly story, a tale of forgiveness and friendship. Really good for Kindergarteners and young children who are learning about friendships. All the characters are animals and are so sweetly rendered. The wording is delightful and makes you laugh. I really enjoyed reading it to my grandkids.

Fun for reading over FaceTime
Format: Board book
This is an adorable book! It’s so much fun to read with kids. My grandson loves it! I got it for him when he was 9 months old and he still loves it at almost 2. Kids love the suspense of seeing what animal the zoo sent next and opening the flap to see. The pictures are cute and colorful and the writing is just right to keep little ones interested. I live across the country from my grandson, but my daughter is good about FaceTiming. So I use that time to read to him. And this book is great for that. He loves when the flaps open to see what animal is there. (Although he already knows, because we’ve read it so many times.) But we love it anyway. It’s a wonderful book. Definitely worth buying.
