Devil In Disguise - The Flying Burrito Brothers
A lack-luster TV lip-sync performance, yet still in good form.
Before heroin took the life of Gram Parsons, his band The Flying Burrito Brothers had mild success. As a follow through of the band The Byrds, were Gram's country styled writing took hold and came into its own, The Burritos seemed to be a logical musical path. Young Emmylou Harris and Gram toured together under his banner singing his songs for a while after the Burritos disbanded mainly due to his drug problem. It was Grams association with Keith Richards and his then lifestyle with drugs, that would become fatal for his band and ultimately Parsons. His strong canon of music remains and is covered by many as a tribute to what was and what might have been.
