HOT BURRITOS - THE TRUE STORY OF THE FLYING BURRITO BROTHERS
by John Einarson with Chris Hillman, foreword by Dwight Yoakam
-
Forty years ago, former Byrds Chris Hillman and Gram Parsons released "The Gilded Palace of Sin," the debut album by their new band, The Flying Burrito Brothers. Fired by a dream to pull rock back from the psychedelic abyss and return it to its country roots, they were avatars of a whole new genre that still thrives. This is the first ever biography of the band, as told to writer John Einarson by Chris Hillman and other group members and associates. Previously guarded about the group's history, Hillman offers an intimate portrait of his doomed bandmate Gram Parsons, and a colourfully detailed and personal account of one of contemporary music's most innovative bands. 336 pp.
