From the Publisher

"The cream of the crop [of rock books] ... Fong-Torres writes a fan's appreciation of Parsons that does not skimp on the harsh truth." -Steve Morse, THE BOSTON GLOBE

"A remarkable job of tracking the life of Mr. Parsons... The writing is clear and the tales ring true as he follows a seminal figure of country rock from his birth into a citrus-moneyed family in Winter Haven, Florida, to his drug-related death in the high desert town of Joshua Tree, California." --ATLANTA JOURNAL-CONSTITUTION

"A saddening piece of reading, but one which members of Parsons' large cult will find essential."

-MUSICIAN magazine

"The first clear picture of a musical genius." --SOUTH BEND TRIBUNE (Indiana)
