The most prominent feature of 1973's GP is Parsons's voice. It's mixed far out in front of the instruments, and as a result, no effort is made to fit it into the mix—his rich and thick voice is preserved and emphasized. He's a great singer, and it sounds fabulous. The music is well played by a set of talented sidemen, the most surprising being Barry Tashian from Boston garage rock legends the Remains. The songwriting, which includes both originals and covers, is strong but not entirely consistent. The front cover looks great with appropriate use of subtlety in its design.
