The Gilded Palace Of Sin (studio album)
by The Flying Burrito Brothers

Disco de culto dentro del country-rock y una de las mayores muestras de la genialidad de Gram Parsons y del injustamente olvidado Chris Hillman.

awful out of tune twangy c and w

Classic and brilliant.

Gram Parsons is a ubiquitous presence in my charts, at least for the short period in which he was a major influence on both country music and rock music. I feel he's the singular figure most responsible for bringing together the traditional elements of country with the rebellious, creative outlet that rock and roll provided. Parsons himself called his style "cosmic American music," and ultimately that feels about right. The Gilded Palace of Sin was the best thing Parsons did as part of the Flying Burrito Brothers, with the frequently covered "Sin City" the highlight. I'm still waiting to see a person wearing a green mohair suit to gain a full appreciation for the sort of person who'd dress that way.

Solid album. There are also a couple of really great songs on here!

L'idea di country cosmico che Gram Parsons svilupperà nei suoi ( purtroppo pochi ) dischi solisti parte da qui. In realtà parte da prima, almeno da un anno prima, quando Gram aveva portato le sue idee nei Byrds, ma è col primo disco dei Flying Burrito Brothers che la cosa diventa evidente, marcata. Questo è country, d'accordo, ma un country che interpreta, per esempio, brani soul ( "Do right woman, do right man " ), quanto di più lontano, cioè, dal country.

Briliant album. Along with "Sweetheart of the Rodeio", it's one of country rock foundations

Thought I might get into this, but I wore out on the country rock flavor by the end.

A landmark album in the history of country rock. Even though it doesn't quite have the emotional edge that Gram Parsons' solo records have, it's still a very good album. Much stronger and consistent than it's follow up it has some great songs in, sin city, hippie boy, and the achingly beautiful, I'm your toy, whatever # burrito it is. Great sounds.

In my opinion, the greatest Country-rock album ever. Hands down!
