  • They Say...

    Bicentennial Burritos is an album released in the wake of Gram Parsons' death, one of the founding members of the Flying Burrito Brothers. The disc includes some classic Burrito favorite songs, as well as some covers. Originally the Burrito Brothers was a collection of musicians who would jam together. Chris Hillman and Gram Parsons applied the name to their late-1960s recordings as well. This reunited version of the band does not include those two founders. Of all the releases by the new band, Bicentennial Burritos is one of the best, as it was recorded in the 1970s and the performances are among their more inspired. "Toe Tappin' Music," "Orange Blossom Special," and "Old Time Rock and Roll" are stand outs. As cash-in albums and bands go, this is ok. Hardcore fans will want little to do with the reunion era Burritos.
