Our Take

Ah, the Flying Burrito Brothers, a band that effortlessly blends country, rock, and a touch of cosmic energy. Their album "Airborne / Flying Again" sees the band soaring to new heights, quite literally with that album cover featuring a whimsical hot air balloon.

The opening track, "Easy to Get On," sets the tone perfectly with its laid-back groove and smooth harmonies. The Burrito Brothers sound tight and cohesive, like a well-oiled machine floating through the musical stratosphere.

"Wind and Rain" showcases the band's ability to weave poignant storytelling with infectious melodies. It's a song that tugs at your heartstrings while simultaneously making you want to bust out a two-step on the nearest dance floor.

But it's tracks like "White Line Fever" that truly encapsulate the Flying Burrito Brothers' signature sound - a blend of Southern soul and Western flare that is downright intoxicating.

Overall, "Airborne / Flying Again" is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Flying Burrito Brothers. They may have taken a hiatus, but like a phoenix rising from the ashes, they are back and better than ever. So buckle up, dear listener, and prepare for a musical journey that is as exhilarating as it is groovy.

About the artist

The Flying Burrito Brothers

Shrouded in mystery and steeped in legend, the Flying Burrito Bros are a band that defy categorisation. With a name that sounds more like a Tex-Mex diner than a musical outfit, this enigmatic group has been mesmerising audiences for decades with their eclectic blend of country rock, psychedelic folk, and cosmic Americana. Led by the enigmatic Gram Parsons, the Flying Burrito Bros emerged from the hazy depths of Los Angeles in the late 1960s, pioneering a sound that would go on to influence everyone from The Eagles to Wilco. Parsons, with his angelic voice and devil-may-care attitude, became the heart and soul of the band, guiding them through a series of critically acclaimed albums and epic live performances that left audiences breathless. But it wasn't just Parsons who made the Flying Burrito Bros so special. The band's lineup was a revolving door of musical talent, featuring the likes of Chris Hillman, Sneaky Pete Kleinow, and Michael Clarke, each bringing their own unique flavour to the mix. Together, they created a sound that was at once timeless and ahead of its time, blending traditional twang with avant-garde experimentation in a way that only true musical visionaries can. Despite their tumultuous history and ever-changing lineup, the Flying Burrito Bros have managed to carve out a place for themselves in the annals of music history. Their influence can be heard in the work of countless artists, from the alt-country pioneers of the 1990s to the cosmic cowboys of today. So next time you find yourself lost in the vast expanse of the American musical landscape, be sure to take a detour with the Flying Burrito Bros. Trust us, it's a journey you won't soon forget.
