The Flying Burrito Brothers - Bluegrass Special: Live In Amsterdam 1972 (Rsd '24)
RECORD STORE DAY 24: Remaining stock will go online at 8pm on 22 April
Formed by departing Byrds Gram Parsons and Chris Hillman in 1968, The Flying Burrito Brothers boasted a staggering wealth of musical talent during their first half-decade set of incarnations, including The Eagles' Bernie Leadon, and pedal steel titan Sneaky Pete Kleinow. But by 1972, soon-to-be Firefall founder Rick Roberts needed to recruit virtually a whole band to fulfill tour dates already contracted. Enter bluegrass legend Byron Berline and Roger Bush of Country Gazette, plus others, for a magical date recorded in Amsterdam in 1972. The double vinyl set had been available in Europe in 72/'73 and hadn't ever been released in the US. Features an entire bluegrass set followed by a country-rock set including their standards of Wild Horses, Sin City and Devil In Disguise.
