It seems to be available on Amazon prime; usually one has to pay an extra rental fee($4). I will check it out as I am interested in watching it. I always listen to Grams' records via streaming. My favorite is GP.
I think that maybe around the time the docu was made, 2004, there was a CD of covers of Grams' songs done by famous musicians like Emmylou Harris, E. Costello etc.. very good record.

It’s ok, but could’ve been better. Knoxville is not much of an actor.Quote

After checking out Amazon Prime, the 2004 BBC documentary does not appear. There is a movie with Johnny Knoxville about the stealing of the Gram's body that is available "Grand Theft Parsons". I may try that one. Does anybody know if it is
a good movie?

Flash in the pan. More money than talent. That was my impression after seeing him with FBB a couple of times and it is reinforced by the radio recording of them that I have recently listened to. Faux "country" music by a bunch of city boys.

Yes, but Sleepless Nights was compiled after his death, wasn't it?
I have a different version, called 'Dim Lights Thick Smoke...". The Train Song (awesome track) is the opener.

I just looked it up. It said that the release date of "Sleepless Nights" was
April, 1976, and - "three of the songs he cut with Emmylou Harris for his final solo album 'Grievous Angel' in 1973, and nine of the others were recorded live in the studio with The Flying Burrito Brothers in 1970".
So, yes, "Sleepless Nights" was released after his death, but recorded before his death. At any rate, I really like the album.

His greatest "talent" was looking good for the cameras and being cute enough to attract all the girls. Two songs...my definition of flash in the pan.
But evidently it is just me, or me and one or two others. Personally I would rather go into a random Bakersfield juke joint and enjoy the local talent than listen to hollywood cowboys.
