Gram Parsons, onboard with the Byrds only for their 1968 LP Sweetheart of the Rodeo, would find fame a year later with the Flying Burrito Bros. Equally fascinating today is Parsons' original combo, the International Submarine Band, whose country-rock synthesis laid the groundwork for the down-home stylings by the Byrds and Burritos. The ISB cut a pair of ultra-rare singles for Lee Hazlewood's LHI imprint - Blue Eyes/Luxury Liner and Miller's Cave/I Must Be Somebody Else You've Known - and Sundazed takes great pride in releasing the original mono masters as a stunning, four-song EP to document the band that first delivered Gram Parsons' vision to the world.
May 13 street date. Non-returnable CD. "Safe at Home" is a legendary 1968 album by country rock group The International Submarine Band, led by the then-unknown 21-year-old Gram Parsons. The group's only album release, "Safe at Home" featured four of Parsons' original compositions rounded out by six covers of classic country and rock and roll songs made famous by the likes of Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Merle Haggard, and Hank Snow. Described as "hippie and hillbilly in equal measure", the album helped to forge the burgeoning country rock movement of the late 1960s and early 1970s.
