Gram Parsons : Sleepless Nights / Lucille E.P.


THROUGH THE SLEEPLESS NIGHTS
I CRY FOR YOU
AND WONDER 
WHO IS KISSING YOU
OH, THESE SLEEPNESS NIGHTS
WILL BREAK MY HEART IN TWO


 Sleepless Nights 

is a 

posthumous compilation album

 by

 Gram Parsons 

Credited to 

Parsons 

and his former band 

the Flying Burrito Brothers

 the band appear on 

nine of the album's 

tracks

 not appearing on

 "Brand New Heartache", 

the title track and 

"The Angels Rejoiced Last Night" 

The album features 

no original songs;

 the majority are covers 

of vintage 

country songs;

 the exception is 

the Rolling Stones' song 

"Honky Tonk Women".

The songs that comprise

 Sleepless Nights 

were collected from

 two sources.

 In early 1970, 

the Flying Burrito Brothers,

 featuring Parsons, 

recorded several songs 

for an anticipated 

no-nonsense 

country album.

 The album was

 ultimately never released

 due to Parsons' 

departure from the band. 

Nine of Sleepless Nights'

 tracks come from

 these sessions. 

The remaining

 three

 songs are from 

the summer

 1973 sessions for

 Grievous Angel

Parsons' final 

solo album, 

and feature duets 

with

 Emmylou Harris

 on the 

Everly Brothers' songs

 "Brand New Heartache" 

and

 "Sleepless Nights", 

as well as the

 gospel-etched

 "The Angels Rejoiced Last Night".
