Flying Burrito Brothers (1971) Colarado

When Rick Roberts joined  the Burritos replaced the bands founding front man, the charismatic cowboy Gram Parsons he proved he had just as much gravitas as a singer songwriter. This being the best example the tender wailing ode to the Centennial state is deeply felt thanks to his strong voice.  Sneaky Pete Kleinows pedal steel is as always a formidable presence. This ballad proved Gram wasn't the only one who could carry country heartache so vividly.
