Hot Burritos : The True Story of the Flying Burrito Brothers

Hot Burritos: the true story of the Flying Burrito Brothers by John Einarson with Chris Hillman

This refreshing biography about the pioneer country rock outfit unearths plenty of new insight. Author John Eirarson leaves behind previously scattered, sensational headlines for contemporary accounts of the group's living members (including extensive interviews with founding member/ex- Byrd Chris Hillman). Where as most biographies of the Burritos tend to lean on the "tortured soul" angle of the late Gram Parsons, "Hot Burritos" discusses the collective innovation and follies of this seminal group.
