Our Take

The Flying Burrito Bros have landed once again, bringing us their latest offering "Close Up The Honky". This album is a honky-tonk whirlwind that will have you tapping your feet and swaying to the sweet sounds of country rock. With their signature blend of twangy guitars, heart-wrenching lyrics, and smooth harmonies, the Burrito Bros deliver a dose of pure musical magic.

From the rollicking opener "Still Feeling Blue" to the soulful lament of "Hot Burrito #2", every track on this album is a gem. The band's musicianship is top-notch, with stunning guitar solos and impeccable vocal performances that will leave you in awe. It's clear that these guys are seasoned pros who know how to craft a tune that sticks with you long after the final chord has faded.

But what truly sets "Close Up The Honky" apart is its quirky charm and off-kilter humour. Songs like "Sin City" and "Christine's Tune" have a playful edge that will make you chuckle even as you find yourself swaying along to the music. The Burrito Bros may be serious musicians, but they never take themselves too seriously, and that's what makes this album such a joy to listen to.

In short, "Close Up The Honky" is a must-listen for any country rock fan. So grab a cold beer, kick back, and let the Flying Burrito Bros take you on a wild ride through the honky-tonks of America. You won't be disappointed.

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.
