With a vision that took him far beyond the genre of country rock, singer-songwriter Gram Parsons left his mark in gut-wrenching sentiments of country music, burning melodies typical of soul music, sweet, uplifting harmonies of gospel choirs and the hand-clapping boogie of rock and roll. Gram's daughter Polly organized this amazing gathering of his close friends and biggest fans for a Sin City tribute honoring this prince of longhair country boys. A sampling of the live performances include Six Days on the Road Sin City All Stars; Big Mouth Blues Jim Lauderdale; Devil in Disguise Jay Farrar; Sleepless Nights Lucinda Williams; Love Hurts Keith Richards & Norah Jones; Sin City Dwight Yoakam, and more, including commentaries by Polly Parsons and Shilah Morrow.

En la liga de Fútbol Americano de Montana existe una regla que permite terminar el juego cuando un equipo va por detrás a más de 45 puntos: la regla del "Tiro de Gracia". Esa regla no existe en la realidad de las gélidas llanuras de Montana, donde el alcohol y las peleas se necesitan para sobrevivir. El protagonista, Roy empieza a desmoronarse cuando su padre se suicida. El chico es reclutado por Gideon Ferguson, un individuo solitario y hurañó, para formar parte de su equipo de Fútbol Americano. Una gran relación surge entre entrenador y pupilo, pero Roy empieza a sospechar, igual que otras personas del pueblo, si Gideon no está interesado en algo más que la simple amistad.

The great alt-country band Uncle Tupelo played its last concert on May 1, 1994, at Mississippi Nights in St. Louis, Missouri. By the time of this show, Jeff Tweedy and Jay Farrar were already not getting along well. Soon after the performance, they would both go on to create other bands, with Farrar founding Son Volt and Tweedy forming Wilco, but on that night in May 1994, there was one last grasp at combined harmony and greatness. In the video below, Tweedy and Farrar trade off on the lead vocals, with drummer Mike Heindon joining the band on the final song of the set, “Looking for a Way Out,” and also singing on the encore with Brian Henneman and the Bottle Rockets on Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Gimme Three Steps.”
