Background notes
Archive material and source history
The Flying Burrito Brothers formed in 1968 after Gram Parsons left the Byrds, joining with Chris Hillman and others. Their 1969 debut 'The Gilded Palace of Sin' mixed country twang with rock energy, creating what some called cosmic country. Songs like 'Wild Horses' and 'Sing Me Back Home' showed Parsons' distinctive vocal style against the band's layered arrangements.
They released four studio albums in quick succession, including 'Burrito Deluxe' in 1970 and 'The Flying Burrito Bros' in 1971. The lineup shifted often, with members like Bernie Leadon, Michael Clarke, and Gene Parsons coming through. Parsons was fired in 1969 due to erratic behavior, and he died in 1973.
Their music pulled from folk and rock while keeping a country foundation, touching on themes of love and the American West. Tracks such as 'Lazy Day' and 'We've Got To Get Ourselves Together' reflected that blend. Though they were only active a few years, their approach influenced later artists exploring country-rock boundaries.
