Classic Burrito cd

"This is a must-have cd from the greatest country-rock band in history. All the tracks are absolutely stunning; to mention favorites would be to go down the entire list. John Beland is brilliant as always, Sneeky Pete and Gib Guilbeau are awesome. New member Brian Cadd (he has since departed) fits right in, which is saying a lot. The most notable aspect though, aside from the great music, is the return of original bassist Chris Ethridge for the first time since 1975. He even contributes a lead vocal. Although he didn't stay long, and The Flying Burrito Brothers have gone on to make two even greater cd's in the '90's, "Eye Of A Hurricane" still remains one of their most fully realised recorded achievements. If you have even a slight interest in country music or country-rock, you'd be doing yourself a favor by picking up this cd. And their next two ('97's "California Jukebox" and 1999's "Sons Of The Golden West") as well. The band has never been more inventive than in this decade."

Quality never goes out of style.

"Wheel of Love is a great opener for this lighthearted, very good quality CD. This is one of the few records that has and overall great song quality over. When the words collide. The music takes over. Is it any point to say any more, realy. Let the music speak for it self."
