FLYING BURRITO BROTHERS Authorized Bootleg / Fillmore East, New York, N.Y. (2011 UK 12-track CD album - In the short but storied lifespan of the original FBB, the Los Angeles-based band was one of the musical building blocks upon which an entire country-rock genre was built. Formed by Chris Hillman and Gram Parsons when they left The Byrds, the Burritos quickly became known for their great song writing, heartfelt vocals, spangled Nudie suits, and a parade of personnel changes. Made upof Chris Hillman, Rick Roberts, Bernie Leadon, Michael Clarke and Pete Kleinow, fans and critics have said that this was the best Burritos live band ever, and the performances here back that up. Combining rock drive and a distinctly country feel, the band romps through a set consisting of originals drawn the Burritos' two albums to date, The Byrds, a Mick Jagger-Keith Richards Composition ['Wild Horses'], a classic R&B mover ['Willie And the Hand Jive'], and a great C&W road song ['Six Days On The Road']. This is country rock at its infancy, but also at its best).
