August 13, 2018 by Joe Marchese | No Comments

On the heels of recent releases including the first-ever SACD of Gene Clark’s classic A&M album White Light, Intervention Records has turned its attention once more to a group of California legends with ties to The Byrds: The Flying Burrito Brothers.

Review: Chris Hillman, “The Asylum Years”

March 5, 2018 by Joe Marchese | No Comments

Chris Hillman is surely one of rock’s largely unsung heroes. A veteran of groups including The Byrds, The Flying Burrito Brothers, The Desert Rose Band, and supergroup The Souther-Hillman-Furay Band, Hillman last year released the acclaimed album Bidin’ My Time – only his seventh solo album. Produced by Tom Petty (one of the late superstar’s last projects) with one foot in the past and another in the present, the LP reaffirmed the artist’s deserved place in the pantheon. Now, Omnivore Recordings has turned the clock back for a reissue of Hillman’s very…

February 2, 2018 by Joe Marchese | 3 Comments

Among its many exciting releases, Omnivore has a trio of albums due soon from three very different rock artists: Chris Hillman, pre-Raspberries band The Choir, and NRBQ.

Produced by Tom Petty (one of the late superstar’s last projects), the LP reaffirmed Hillman’s deserved place in the pantheon. Omnivore is now reissuing his first two solo albums,…

February 23, 2017 by Joe Marchese | 5 Comments

Intervention Records will soon be giving the deluxe audiophile treatment on both hybrid stereo SACD (playable on all CD players) and 180-gram vinyl LP to a bona fide country-rock classic. The Flying Burrito Brothers’ 1969 A&M Records release The Gilded Palace of Sin remains a landmark album, fusing genres to create something wholly new – “Cosmic American Music,” as Gram Parsons memorably named it. It will arrive on LP in May and later in the year on SACD. Though the group’s original incarnation was short-lived, The Flying Burrito Brothers inspired generations to…
