The Flying Burrito Brothers
Amoeba
At long last, an addition to the Gram Parsons-era Flying Burrito Brothers catalog: a double-disc affair comprising two of three shows opening for the Grateful Dead in San Francisco, discovered in the Dead's vault and recorded by the legendary Owsley Stanley.
With only Parsons' two studio albums with the group previously available, the GP-FBB canon was woefully lacking. The early Burritos lineup by far was the best: Parsons, Chris Hillman, "Sneaky" Pete Kleinow, Chris Ethridge and first full-time drummer Mike Clarke had passion and chemistry, and the LP's worth of covers unearthed here are a true treasure trove.
Red Simpson, George Jones, Willie Nelson, Bobby Bare, Waylon Jennings, Hank Williams and Cindy Walker all are given the Burrito treatment, but there are some unusually good noncountry choices as well in material by Dan Penn, Delaney & Bonnie, Little Richard and Roy Orbison. Two bonus tracks offer period home recordings by Gram of his "$1000 Wedding" and the Everly Brothers' "When Will I Be Loved?"
