 The Flying Burrito Brothers was an early country rock band, best known for its influential debut album, 1969's The Gilded Palace of Sin. Although the group is most often mentioned in connection with country rock legends Gram Parsons and Chris Hillman, the group underwent many personnel changes. After the release of The Byrds' groundbreaking Sweetheart of the Rodeo, Gram Parsons left The Byrds on the eve of a South African tour. Chris Hillman, the group's bass player, soon left as well and eventually joined Parsons in a new band, The Flying Burrito Brothers, as guitarist. Their first album as The Flying Burrito Brothers was The Gilded Palace of Sin. Most of the songs were written by Parsons and Hillman at a house in the San Fernando Valley dubbed "Burrito Manor." 01 - Christine's Tune02 - Sin City03 - Do Right Woman04 - Dark End Of The Street05 - My Uncle06 - Wheels07 - Juanita08 - Hot Burrito No. 109 - Hot Burrito No. 210 - Do You Know How It Feels11 - Hippie BoyLINK |
