The Flying Burrito Brothers

The Flying Burrito Brothers were riding a wave of creative energy when they recorded their live performance of "She Thinks I Still Care" at The Palomino on June 8, 1969. Just around this time, they had already released their debut album, "The Gilded Palace of Sin," which hit the shelves earlier that year in February. This album was groundbreaking, blending country with rock in a way that encapsulated the burgeoning "country rock" genre. It featured classics like "Hot Burrito #1" and showcased the group's innovative sound, thanks largely to the songwriting talents of founding members Gram Parsons and Chris Hillman. The live recording from The Palomino captures the raw and dynamic energy of their performances, bringing fans closer to the essence of the band's charm during a pivotal moment in their career. Plus, it’s fascinating to think that Parsons, with his bohemian lifestyle, was already becoming an iconic figure in the music scene, setting the stage for a legacy that continues to influence artists today.
