The International Submarine Band album recorded by Gram Parsons & John Neuse "Safe At Home" had been released in early 1968 but sales had been poor and the band soon broke up.

In 1968 the band set about recording their first record with Eddie Hoh on drums, who only played on a few songs before quitting with his record company advance, session drummers Sam Goldstein & Popeye Phillips played on few tracks before Jon Corneal took over the drum stool to complete the recordings. However with the sessions over and with the band gigging locally, Jon Corneal soon left the band swapping the drum seat with another ex Byrd Michael Clarke from the Dillard & Clark Expedition.

The band's first album "The Gilded Palace Of Sin" was released by A & M in March 1969 with songs written mainly by Hillman & Parsons who came up with some real gems "Sin City", "Devil In Disguise'" (aka "Christine's Tune"), "Wheels" and "My Uncle" and Gram returned to his International Submarine Band days with a new reading of "Do You Know How It Feels To Be Lonesome", although two of the strongest cuts, " # 1 & 2" were Ethridge and Parsons collaborations. A couple of R & B classics "Do Right Woman" & "Dark End Of the Street" were the only non original songs with ex Byrd David Crosby singing uncredited harmony vocals on the former song.

To promote it the infamous "Train Tour" was set up to travel to shows throughout the US, but to no avail because despite good reviews the album sold poorly.

Only one single was released during this period and the "A" side "The Train Song" was recorded after the album sessions backed with "Hot Burrito No. 1" from the album. The producer of the "The Train Song" was Larry Williams, aided by Johnny "Guitar" Watson, and Clarence White was helping out on guitar. Although Chris Hillman has since commented that the song was weak and not deserving of a single release, he did during his "Souther, Hillman & Furay" days reuse the melody adding new lyrics in the song "Safe At Home".

THE BYRDS & THE FLYING BURRITO BROTHERS "Boston Tea Party" - 23rd February 1969 John York / Clarence White / Gram Parsons / Gene Parsons Chris Hillman / Chris Ethridge / Roger McGuinn / Sneaky Pete Kleinow

In February 1969 the Flying Burrito Brothers were featured on the same program with The Byrds at the Boston Tea Party (Feb. 20-23). On the closing night of the gig the Byrds stood on the stage for an hour and a half with most of the Burritos and they did every song they could think of.

The band continued playing local shows along the west coast with the most popular venues in LA  being the "Troubadour" and the "Palomino" where Clarence White occasionally sat in when not touring with the Byrds.
Several tapes from this period circulate which show the band's influences from the Country, R & B and Rock idioms. The band played 3 nights, April 4 - 6th 1969, at the Avalon Ballroom in San Francisco opening for the Grateful Dead with the set from April 6th being broadcast on FM radio and susequently bootlegged. Another notable show was from a few weeks later at the Palomino in L.A. with Clarence White guesting.
In November 2007 the San Francisco based label Amoeba Records released a double CD set, "The Gram Parsons Archives Vol. 1", with the first disc featuring the previously unreleased set from the April 4th Avalon show with the bonus of a couple of Gram Parsons demos from 1967 / 69. The second disc was the first official release on the previously bootlegged April 6th show.
The superb audio quality recordings of the Avalon shows were sourced from the Grateful Dead tape vaults and were recorded by the Grateful Dead's sound engineer Bear (Owsley Stanley).

The new line up eventually entered the studios with Jim Dickson producing to record what was to become their second album "Burrito Deluxe", but it was obvious that they didn't have sufficient self written material for a complete album. A couple of songs "High Fashion Queen", a left -over from the "Burrito Manor" days, and "Lazy Day" was even older being the International Submarine Band song rejected for "The Trip" movie. Gram had also recorded "Lazy Day" during his short period with the Byrds but was left unreleased until 1991 when it was included on the Byrds Boxset release. Bernie Leadon also makes his first contribution to the band with his song "God's Own Singer" and a couple of co-writes with Gram & Chris, "Older Guys" & "Man In The Fog". Bob Dylan was again represented with a furious run through of "If You Gotta Go Now" with country standards "The Image Of Me" and an arrangement of the gospel staple "Farther Along" making up the album.
However, the real highlight of the album "Wild Horses" emanates from Gram's friendship with the Rolling Stones, notably Keith Richard, dating back to his time in London in 1968 whilst with the Byrds, giving the band the opportunity to record this as yet unreleased Jagger & Richard song . The noted L.A. session musician Leon Russell contributes a fine piano solo to this song.

Also around this period it is known that the band attempted an unreleased version of Gram's "$ 1000 Dollar Wedding" that the other members of the band hated. Gram eventually recorded it again for his solo "Grievous Angel" album,

So, in early 1970 with the band were still playing locally around L.A. and awaiting the release of the new album, they went back into the Sound Factory studios to record a cache of old country standards and some current material from the likes of John Fogerty , The Bee Gees & the Rolling Stones. However the consensus of opinion, notably Chris Hillman, is that these recordings were only loose demos and not recorded for release as an album and as such remained unreleased for a number of years before being made available in the wake of Gram's death.

Maybe at the same sessions The Flying Burrito Brothers recorded with Gene Clark on lead vocals "She darked the sun".
This track was released 2016 on the Sierra Records CD: "Gene Clark: The Lost Studio Sessions 1964-1982". Other tracks also with Burrito members:

Musicians on other tracks: Clarence White, Al Perkins, Herb Pedersen, Leon Russell, Byron Berline, Spooner Oldham, Chris Ethridge ...... .

Gram got more heavily involved in drugs and after recovering from injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident he returned to the band but with an very unprofessional and undisciplined attitude started missing rehearsals and shows, much to the chagrin of the remaining members. The A & M release of the "Burrito Deluxe" album in May 1970 and the need to promote the album failed to improve the situation so Gram was effectively sacked from the band in June. Sadly, "Burrito Deluxe" album was poorly received by the critics largely due to the lack of strong material and like the first album sold poorly.

In 2014 /15 a couple of live shows from 1969 that had circulated among collectors for many years were released on CD of European origin.

The band continued promotion of "Burrito Deluxe" as a four piece although at some stage it looked a possibility that another ex Byrd, Gene Clark, might replace Gram. Gene had also signed to the A & M label in 1969 initially with Doug Dillard as the "Dillard & Clark Expedition" but after leaving he remained with the label as a solo artist.
During the summer of 1970 Gene having sat in with the band for a number of shows recorded a version of his song "Tried So Hard" with the band, Gene singing the bass vocals, later to be released as a single. However the union was not to last and Gene returned to his solo career.

In July 1970 the band were part of a train full of now - legendary rock performers including Jerry Garcia, Janis Joplin and others for a tour across Canada. During the tour the show at the Toronto Music Festival was filmed and many years later in 2003 a documentary about the show was released on a DVD titled "Festival Express"  which included the FBB's performance of "Lazy Day" with Bernie Leadon on lead vocal. However, no other songs from the bands set surfaced until 2013 when a incomplete video of "Cody, Cody" appeared on youtube.

Rick was a native from Florida who although at the time had only limited song-writing experience soon formed a short-lived but successful writing partnership with Chris Hillman as well as bringing some solo contributions to the band. Following Rick's introduction the band toured extensively, including Europe, with these newly written songs heavily featured so that when they came to start recording again they had plenty of strong and well rehearsed material to form the backbone of their third album for A & M. The live tapes in circulation from this period particularly those recorded for radio & TV in Holland in October 1970 show how the band had developed a much more disciplined and smoother sound losing the rougher edge of the Gram Parsons period. On some shows even Sneaky Pete in additon to playing an instrumental, usually "Beat The Heat" was allowed a lead vocal by singing "Willie & The Hand Jive".

Over the winter 1970 - 71 with Jim Dickson again in the producer's chair the band recorded their third album in Sunset Sound Studios in LA with the majority of the songs coming from Chris Hillman & Rick Roberts although they do revisit the song catalogues of Bob Dylan & Merle Haggard with covers of "To Ramona" & "White Line Fever". The remainder of the album consists of four Hillman & Roberts collaborations "Hand To Mouth", "Just Can't Be", "Can't You Hear Me Calling" & "All Alone", a re-recording of Gene Clark's "Tried So Hard", and three solo offerings from Rick "Why Are You Crying", "Four Days Of Rain" and the classic "Colorado".
Several outtakes from these sessions saw the light of day many years later on various compilations of the bands material including the instrumental by Sneaky Pete Kleinow "Beat The Heat".

Gene Clark also re-enters the scene briefly during these recording sessions when the band provide the instrumental & vocal backing for Gene's song "Here Tonight" which remained unissued for a couple of years until featured on Gene's album "Roadmaster" first issued in Holland in 1973.

But before the album was released the band started going through a period of changes, Sneaky Pete had tired of the constant touring and decided that returning to being a session musician in L.A. was far more lucrative so he left in April 1971.

In February 2011 a live album titled "Authorised Bootleg" recorded at The Fillmore East, N.Y in November 1970.
The album includes "Willie And The Hand Jive" the first vocal outing in the band by Sneaky Pete.

In September 1970 both The Byrds and The Flying Burrito Brothers were booked for a series of six shows over three nights at the "Whisky A Go-Go" in their home town of Los Angeles.
This run would also be Rick Roberts' debut with The Burritos, who were still yet to recognize the extent of his talent.
For the final show of the run, the FBBs began their set as usual, but after six songs, which included an unreleased song "Trying To Reach My Goal" (previously a 1962 hit for Jamaican soul artist Alton Ellis) they invited The Byrds to join them on stage for an informal jam session and the rest of the night featured both bands performing together.

In December 2011 "Wolfgang's Vault" made the show available to purchase as a download in both mp3 & FLAC formats.

Following Sneaky's decision his replacement in May 1971 on Pedal Steel was the highly talented Al Perkins who had arrived in L.A. in late 1969 as a member of the Texas band "Shiloh", which also included future Eagle Don Henley, but after one unsuccessful self titled album release on the Amos label the band broke up.

THE FLYING BURRITO BROTHERS Wertz / Roberts / Hillman / Clarke / Perkins

The third album simply titled "The Flying Burrito Brothers" was released by A & M in June 1971 and around this time they added former champion fiddler, Byron Berline to the line up. Byron had previously been a member of the "Dillard & Clark Expedition" and played on "Burrito Deluxe".
Unfortunately no sooner had Byron joined more changes were afoot, since Rick Roberts joined the band almost a year earlier Bernie had become very frustrated that his contribution to the band had reduced and his vocal abilities were being ignored, he was now reduced to singing the third part harmony to the lead vocals of Chris & Rick and had few opportunities to sing any lead vocals.

So in August 1971 Bernie left to become part of Linda Ronstadt's backing band joining Glen Frey, Randy Meisner and the aforementioned Don Henley, who all left Linda after about a year to form the highly successful Eagles.

With Al Perkins able to take lead guitar duties as well as Pedal Steel the replacement for Bernie was an old friend of Chris Hillman's, Kenny Wertz, who had played with Chris in the "Scottsville Squirrel Barkers" back in the early 1960's. Kenny, like Chris had a bluegrass background , and was a competent musician on both guitar & banjo and along with Byron and Chris on mandolin allowed the band to add a bluegrass element to the band's live shows.

The line-up Chris Hillman, Michael Clarke, Byron Berline, Rick Roberts, Al Perkins and Kenny Wertz performed "Six Days On The Road" at the "The David Frost Show" in 1971.

In 2012 a live album was released titled 'Devils In Disguise - 1971 Live Broadcast'  recorded on July 22nd 1971 at Sigma Studios in Phildelphia and originally broadcast on WMMR-FM, Philadelphia.

In September 1971, Roger Bush (ex "Kentucky Colonels") joins on acoustic bass for the bluegrass segment of the show and to help promote the new album the LA based radio station "KMET-FM" broadcast a live session recorded at the Record Plant in Hollywood with the recently departed Bernie Leadon guesting on guitar & banjo show the band in great form. During the session folk legend Bob Gibson played four songs from his latest album backed up by the band several of whom actually appeared on Bob's album.

The KMET live broadcast from the Record Plant was eventually released on CD in 2015:

Bob Gibson

The sales of the Flying Burrito Brothers album were just as disappointing as their earlier efforts only making # 176 on the album charts. There is no doubt that the overall sound of the album was the role model for the Eagles first recordings a year or so later so yet again the band were just ahead of the time and missed out on great success. Live recordings in circulation only add weight to how good this band was, with Al Perkins slide guitar giving the band a more rock feel counterbalanced by the bluegrass segments of Byron, Kenny & Roger. A couple of months later in November Alan Munde joins to play banjo giving the band a self - contained bluegrass unit.

A Burrito show was now divided into the electric country - rock segment and an acoustic bluegrass set with Byron, Kenny, Alan, Roger and Chris helping out on mandolin. The bluegrass musicians, without Chris, develop their own set eventually recording in their own right as "Country Gazette".
During this short period of the band the shows at Union College in New York, Dartmouth & Andover were recorded for a live album "Last Of The Red Hot Burritos" released in February 1972 (after Chris, Michael & Al had left the band). In these final days of the band Gram Parsons sat in with the band for occasional shows.

Chris Hillman had become disillusioned and had decided that the band had run it's course and along with Al Perkins accepted an offer from Stephen Stills to join a new group he was putting together called "Manassas", so both left in late 1971 to start recording with Manassas in Florida in early 1972. Rick Roberts although not a member of Manassas also participated in the recording sessions but was not credited on the band's initial album release.
Michael Clarke also left at this time and moved to Hawaii to paint.
It is no coincidence that when the double album set by Manassas was released later in 1972 it contained Burrito Bluegrass / Country influences mixed with Stills love of Blues & Cuban music.

Over the years several compilation albums / CD's have been released by A & M covering this period including "Close Up the Honky Tonks" & "Honky Tonk Heaven" both of which are discussed later.

The 1989 release "Farther Along - The Best Of The Flying Burrito Brothers" is of interest containing as it it does an alternate version of "Sing Me Back Home" and an uncompleted take of Bob Dylan's "I Shall Be Released" with Gram Parsons on vocals.
A further release in 1996 titled "Out Of The Blue" in addition to containing a number of songs appearing on the CD format for the first time included an unreleased live version of Gram Parson's "One Hundred Years From Now" sung by Rick Roberts.
And in 2000 a double CD was issued titled "Hot Burritos - The Anthology of the FBB 1968 - 72" containing the first three complete albums, the non album single "Train Song" seven of the 1970 demos, a couple of the live songs from their final A & M release "The Last Of The Red Hot Burritos" and lastly the collaboration with Gene Clark "Here Tonight". Overall an excellent compilation with the third album being made easily available on CD for the first time but the lack of anything new is a disappointment to collectors.
2001 saw the release of a couple more compilations "The Millennium Collection" & "Sin City - The Best Of The Flying Burrito Brothers" but neither release contained anything new. A further budget release "The Collection" appeared in 2005 but apart from a couple of tracks new to the CD format it was all previously released material.
In August 2009 Universal International in Japan reissued five Flying Burrito Brothers albums of A & M recordings all containing bonus tracks although none were previously unreleased, however a few tracks were appearing on CD for the first ever time.
