It is a really amazing album all-round and has got me in search of a couple other of the albums in this thread.

Great reviews. Cheers.
Funnily enough, that's exactly what I thought of it when finished listening to it end-to-end for the first of many, many times. It was the first classic country album I ever bought after all (all I'd owned of the genre to that point was Almost Blue - Elvis Costello's album of traditional C&W covers). The Gilded Palace Of Sin has that same kind of affect, even though it does take slightly longer to really hit you as the classic I think it is. I'd say that it's definitely the other one you should prioritise, along with one of Gram's solo albums which I should get to soon enough.
