“A terrific biography of a rock innovator that hums with juicy detail and wincing truth. . . . Page after page groans with the folly of the ’60s drug culture, the tragedy of talent toasted before its time, the curse of wealth and the madness of wasted opportunity.”—The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

As a singer and songwriter, Gram Parsons stood at the nexus of countless musical crossroads, and he sold his soul to the devil at every one. His intimates and collaborators included Keith Richards, William Burroughs, Marianne Faithfull, Peter Fonda, Roger McGuinn, and Clarence White. Parsons led the Byrds to create the seminal country rock masterpiece Sweetheart of the Rodeo, helped to guide the Rolling Stones beyond the blues in their appreciation of American roots music, and found his musical soul mate in Emmylou Harris. Parsons’ solo albums, GP and Grievous Angel, are now recognized as visionary masterpieces of the transcendental jambalaya of rock, soul, country, gospel, and blues Parsons named “Cosmic American Music.” Parsons had everything—looks, charisma, money, style, the best drugs, the most heartbreaking voice—and threw it all away with both hands, dying of a drug and alcohol overdose at age twenty-six.

In this beautifully written, raucous, meticulously researched biography, David N. Meyer gives Parsons’ mythic life its due. From interviews with hundreds of the famous and obscure who knew and worked closely with Parsons–many who have never spoken publicly about him before–Meyer conjures a dazzling panorama of the artist and his era.

Praise for Twenty Thousand Roads

“Far and away the most thorough biography of Parsons . . . skewers any number of myths surrounding this endlessly mythologized performer.”—Los Angeles Times

“The definitive account of Gram Parsons’ life–and early death. From the country-rock pioneer’s wealthy, wildly dysfunctional family through his symbiotic friendship with Keith Richards, Meyer deftly illuminates one of rock’s most elusive figures.”—Rolling Stone

“Meticulously researched . . . Though Meyer answers a lot of long-burning questions, he preserves Parsons’ legend as a man of mystery.”—Entertainment Weekly

“Meyer gives Parsons a thorough, Peter Guralnick-like treatment.”New York Post

Cracked heels are gone after 5 applications
Size: Regular, Color: Cream
These moisturizing socks work great. My heels are happy again. The open toe design makes it so my feet don’t overheat at night. It only took 5 times to get rid of my painful cracked heels. Now I wear them 1-2 times a week to keep my heels healthy.

Really nice but needs a few small improvements
Size: Regular, Color: Cream
Super comfortable and the gel lining feels so nice on my feet. They seem to do their job and help with moisturizing and so far the quality has been great. I deducted a star because they can be difficult to clean and may not fit wider feet. Otherwise a great value for your money

Perfect socks for cracked heels

These are the best for your cracked heels. They still keep their shape and softening power even after washing.

So So Socks
Size: Regular, Color: Cream
These are very comfortable socks. I machine washed them on a gentle cool water cycle and they ravelled. That is disappointing quality.
