The Flying Burrito Brothers - The Gilded Palace of Sin (1969) [2017 SACD]

#192 Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Albums of All Time
Rolling Stone’s 100 Best Debut Albums of All Time

Is this the album that made country cool? Former Byrds Gram Parsons and Chris Hillman picked up where they left off with Sweetheart of the Rodeo with this stunning masterpiece of a debut album by The Flying Burrito Bros. While Parsons had already pushed rock in a country direction during his brief stint with The Byrds and The International Submarine Band, The Gilded Palace of Sin is why the Burritos are widely viewed as the inventors of country rock. Indeed with this album, Hillman and Parsons carved a substantial place in music history as one of the most influential albums and bands of all time.
