Can't wait for your Gilded Palace of Sin review. It's far and away my favorite album from the McGuinn/Parsons/Hillman nexus of early country rock.
Way back in '68 the Burritto Bros. were berated by the Nashville establishment as being too rock oriented but Gilded Palace of Sin sounds down-right straight off the ranch, by the contemporary Nashville standards. By the Eighties most of Nashville had gone mainstream pop.
As Nashville fell into decline, authentic country music rebels like Lucinda Williams, Willie Nelson Steve Earle, Joe Ely and Townes Van Zandt and had made Austin the new capital of country music. I think the Flying Burritto Bros. were the first harbinger of that new era of country music.
