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
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".
