safe at home

Just before Gram Parsons cut a wide swath through American music with Sweetheart Of The Rodeo-era Byrds and the Flying Burrito Bros., he forged a new musical genre with the seminal 1967 country-rock sides he cut with his legendary International Submarine Band. Sundazed Music, in conjunction with Shiloh Records, is proud to present a compact disc release of the ISB's highly collectible Safe At Home album, taken for the first time from the pristine, two-track stereo LHI-label masters, now sporting accurate original artwork, rare photos and a revealing new essay by noted author Sid Griffin. We've added the last piece to the jigsaw puzzle by remarrying the originally unissued track "Knee Deep In The Blues" (recorded during the Safe At Home sessions) to this resoundingly important musical statement. It's a young, confident Gram Parsons here, showing the world he's ready for business and firing the first volley in an amazing—if too brief—career that would soon stand the rock 'n' roll world on its ear.
