Whitehead’s music group, the Grievous Angels, may borrow their moniker in the title of the record by country-rock pioneer Gram Parsons — however they pull their influence in the three-chord, roots-rock riot of early ’80s groupings like the Blasters, Rank and Document as well as the Long Ryders. The group’s roots get back to LA, where Whitehead fulfilled some future users from the Grievous Angels. Disenchanted with this city’s music picture, they relocated towards the desert sands of Tempe, Az in 1991 and made a decision to take up a honky-tonk music group, not realizing that lots of would-be punkers will be turning to nation within the imminent alt-country explosion of the first to middle-’90s.

The group released the recording Angels & Inbreds in 1995. Your time and effort New Town of Sin adopted, while their third Bloodshot Information release, Miles within the Rail, found its way to 1998.
