The Flying Burrito Brothers stand as one of the pioneering groups in the genre of country rock and are renowned for their influential role in the development of the Americana sound. Founded in 1968 by Gram Parsons and Chris Hillman after their departure from The Byrds, the original lineup included pedal steel player "Sneaky" Pete Kleinow and bassist Chris Ethridge. Together, they blended traditional country music with the fresh spirit of rock and roll, creating a hybrid that pushed the boundaries of country music's mainstream appeal.
Their first album, "The Gilded Palace Of Sin" (1969), became a seminal work, distinguished by Parsons' vision of a "Cosmic American Music" and noted for its innovative mix of country, soul, and rock. Despite not achieving significant commercial success during their early years, the band's impact on the music scene was substantial, with later releases like "Burrito Deluxe" and "The Last Of The Red Hot Burritos" cementing their legacy. Following Parsons' departure and eventual death in 1973, the group underwent numerous lineup changes but continued to record and perform with varying levels of success. Albums such as "Eye Of A Hurricane" and "Live from Tokyo" as well as compilations like "Hot Burritos! The Flying Burrito Brothers Anthology (1969 - 1972)" have helped to keep the spirit of the original lineup alive for new generations of listeners and musicians alike, while live recordings such as "Live At The Bottom Line NYC 1976" and the "Authorized Bootleg / Fillmore East, New York, N.Y. – Late Show, November 7, 1970" offer a glimpse into the band's powerful stage presence. Despite the shifts in their ranks and the tides of the music industry, The Flying Burrito Brothers' rich legacy endures through their recordings and the wide influence they exert on the country-rock genre.
