This understated album, is one of the most influential albums of all time. It’s likely you’ve never heard it or even heard of it, but you’d know its influence. In 1968, The Byrds member, Gram Parsons, left the band after refusing to accompany them on a tour of South Africa (after some convincing by Keith Richards and Mick Jagger). Two months later The Byrds bassist, Chris Hillman joined him. The two formed The Flying Burrito Brothers (geddit? Byrds / Flying?).
