Track:
The Flying Burrito Brothers were never exactly famed for their stability - some phenomenal drug taking and some hubristically excessive ideas (sending invitations to a promotional barn dance through the mail attached to budles of hay, for example) ensured that success was going to be harder for them to achieve than for most. By 1974 they had lost frontman Gram Parsons, and were onto their fourt...

…And They Ended Up Falling Apart Like So Many Others... Part of the problem with Gram Parsons is that he generally lacked direction. Unlike so many of his contemporaries, he didn't need money. As the grandson of a citrus baron; he was able to collect quite handsome sums twice a year. And he did lose direction after the train tour, his cloudy judgment ultimately getting him kicked out. He stu.

…They Were A Group Who Naturally Toured By Train… After getting an advance from A&M, Parsons led the group to Nudie's Rodeo Tailors on Lankershim Boulevard to get decked out in psychedelic Western wear from the man who had dressed Elvis Presley, Hank Williams, Hank Snow, George Jones and Porter Wagoner. Nudie's assistant, Manuel, didn't disappoint, creating four iconic suits that would be f

…The First Five Slices Of Cosmic American Pie… "Christine's Tune" is a vicious number, supposedly a portrait of one of the members of the Frank Zappa brainchild GTOs, Christine Frka, who had allegedly caused trouble among one of the Byrds and their spouse. Appropriately, Hillman sings a sizable chunk of the track, presumably the Byrd wasn't Parsons or Sweetheart era drummer Kevin Kelley, so

...And The Last Six Slices... I've always seen "Wheels" as a universal ode of youth, the longing to be free. You can see it as a portrait of Hillman, trying to break away from the disintegrating group that he had ridden waves of success with. Alternately, you can see it as a portrait of Parsons, who had escaped his own personal Faulknerian past to end up restless in Los Angeles, first with t...

Track:
Forty years ago, an album was released. It never made it up past #164 on the Billboard charts. It never even made it to gold status- after forty years, it has yet to sell 500,000 copies. Nobody seems to recognize the group name nor the album title, as legendary as its status is with people "in the know", the average music "fan" couldn't name track one, either of the titles that song received.
