Gram Parsons was one of the first musicians to combine the high lonesome ache of country music with the guitar-driven attitude of rock & roll, and few have ever done it better. While Parsons was highly regarded by his fellow musicians during his short life, he was little more than a cult figure when he died in 1973 at the age of 26. With the passage of time, he's become an iconic figure in the world of country rock and alt-country music. Return to Sin City: A Tribute to Gram Parsons documents a special 2004 tribute concert staged by Parsons' daughter, Polly Parsons, in which an all-star cast of musicians interprets some of Gram's greatest songs. Performers include Keith Richards, Norah Jones, Dwight Yoakum, Lucinda Williams, Steve Earle, Raul Malo, Jay Farrar, and many more.
