Safe At Home is one of Gram Parsons’ earliest projects & the band’s only album. He formed the band as an unknown musician that had been attending Harvard University. The album consists of 4 original songs written & composed by Gram while the other 6 are covers of such superstars as Elvis, Cash & Haggard. Of course these covers all come with Parsons’ own imaginative twists and flavor. The International Submarine Band is often credited with starting the country rock sound of the 60’s and into the 70’s. Equal measures of hippie & hillbilly. Something Parsons coined as Cosmic American Music. If you enjoy the wave of Americana music that has taken the world by storm over the last decade or so – this is a can’t miss. If it’s been a while, do it again.
