For the first time on one CD, Raven Records have made available two classic country rock/bluegrass albums by the legendary Flying Burrito Brothers.
The Flying Burrito Bros album (1971) is acknowledged as a prime example of country rock, and most significantly the great lost Burritos live album Last of the Red Hot Burritos (1972) are the last two that ex-Byrd and Burritos co-founder Chris Hillman produced with the band.
For Last of the Red Hot Burritos the band added a significant bluegrass component as displayed on blazing versions of Orange Blossom Special and Dixie Breakdown. In addition there are four Parsons-era classics (Devil in Disguise, My Uncle, High Fashion Queen, Hot Burrito #2) and rocked up country and soul covers (Six Days on the Road, Don't Fight It, Losing Game) which only add to the album's appeal.
This top value 2-on-1 CD includes two rare Bonus Tracks: Here Tonight with ex-Byrd Gene Clark plus the original 45-RPM version of Tried so Hard, also featuring Clark, which has likewise never been issued on CD before.
