The Flying Burrito Brothers
was an early American country

by Gram Parsons and Chris
Hillman ( former members of

States. They are best known

album "The Gilded Palace of
Sin" of 1969's. They recorded
the album without regular

originals of Parsons/Hillman

Chips Moman (soul music
writers). Desire to have a
permanent drummer for their
tours, the band hired Michael
