Just finished listening to The Byrds "Sweetheart of the Rodeo." Now listening to The Flying Burrito Brothers "The Gilded Palace of Sin. I forget now and then how brilliant Gram Parsons was. Gilded Palace opening with "Christine's Tune" and "Sin City" is incredibly strong.

Gilded Palace opening with "Christine's Tune" and "Sin City" is incredibly strong. Yeah, both just superb albums. For me Sweetheart just slightly has the edge out of the two, but it's a close run thing and I am a die-hard Byrds fan, after all. The drop off in quality between The Gilded Palace of Sin and its follow-up Burrito Deluxe is quite shocking. Not that Burrito Deluxe is a bad record (one of my duos regularly covers the song "Lazy Days" from it), but its just such a come down from the artistic heights of its predecessor. By all accounts, Gram's heart wasn't really in it by the second Burritos' album and he was more interested in hanging out with the Rolling Stones. Luckily he got his s*it together and turned out the sublime GP and Grievous Angel solo albums with Emmylou Harris a couple of years later. By the way, I don't know if you've heard it, but the Burrito Brothers' third album (just called The Flying Burrito Brothers) with Chris Hillman, Rick Roberts,Sneaky Pete Kleinow, Bernie Leadon and Michael Clarke in the band is surprisingly good. I mean, it's no Gilded Palace of Sin, but it's a very good country-rock album nonetheless.

There's a couple of bands and really an entire sub-genre of pop music that I only know from hearing a few things on the radio. Definitely something I want to get more into eventually and explore some classic albums.

I mean, it's no Gilded Palace of Sin, but it's a very good country-rock album nonetheless. I think there were a few things going on with Burrito Deluxe. It was recorded immediately after a hard tour for Gilded Palace in which they spent a ton of money and did a ton of drugs. I also think that Parsons was pretty much done with the Burritos at that point. For all his talent Parsons was a dilettante trust-fund baby who was far more interested in hanging out with his friends and doing drugs than actually creating music in more than concentrated bursts. It's not a bad album, it's just not anything special, though Parsons managed a coup by getting "Wild Horses" away from Keith Richards a year before the Stones recorded it. GP and Grievous Angel are both brilliant. As is Safe at Home the album he did with the International Submarine Band.

Agreed on Safe at Home being a brilliant album as well.

"BUTT MUSCLE" by Christeene
my favorite track from experimental artist/graphic trash drag queen Christeene
youtube doesn't carry the video (you're welcome. . tho it's an incredible experience if you find it elsewhere online), but you can go there to hear the track with static album cover artwork.
anyways. . this song is NSFW, it's got some pretty explicit language . . but an incredible song, and if you like experimental music? Christeene is awesome.

Favourite track from Seven & The Ragged Tiger...I might love cds but getting them on their original single format is great too.

With apologies to Confessor, this has been playing in my head for three days straight, now. I was talking to my future step son about the upcoming Usagi Yojimbo Netflix series, ended up showing him the unaired pilot for Space Usagi, and then BOOM! it was in my head.
