Product Description

Digitally remastered two-fer containing a pair of post-Gram Parsons albums from the Country Rock legends. When Parsons died in September 1973, the legend surrounding his death led to increased interest in his musical legacy. This in turn prompted band members Ethridge and Kleinow to revive The Flying Burrito Brothers, this time with ex-Byrds guitarist Gene Parsons and Country musicians Floyd Gib Guilbeau and Joel Scott Hill. The new-look band signed to Columbia Records, and released Flying Again, the first of these two albums in 1975. Chris Ethridge left, replaced this time by ex-Byrd/New Rider of the Purple Sage Skip Battin for 1976's Airborne, another pleasingly solid selection of Country Rock tunes. The Flying Burrito Brothers enduring career over five decades might surprise some people. However, the prime motivation for the men who actually made the music, was quality songs. As these two examples of 70s era Burrito sounds proved, that was more than evident.
