Iconic Album Deserves Far Better Than ThisBy TomContinuum Books' selection of The Gilded Palace of Sin for its 33 1/3 series is absolutely deserved. The album stands as a trailblazing standard of the "country-rock" genre and Gram Parson's finest effort. Unfortunately, author Bob Proehl doesn't come anywhere near doing justice to this iconic masterpiece. This is more of a brief history of the Flying Burrito Brothers than a close look at their debut album. There are no absolutely no details of the 1968 recording sessions. Proehl simply did not bother doing the necessary research. The album's producers, Henry Lewy and Larry Marks, aren't even mentioned. Neither can be found any reference to drummers Popeye Phillips or Eddie Hoh who played on five of the eleven tracks. Quite indicative of the author's casual treatment of the subject is his regurgitation of the fallacious claim that "Christine's Tune (Devil in Disguise)" was written about Christine "Miss Christine" Frka of the GTO's while the co-author of the song, Chris Hillman, is on record stating it was written about Christine Hinton, David Crosby's girlfriend at the time and the former president of the Byrds' fan club (see Hot Burritos: The True Story of the Flying Burrito Brothers, p. 102). Such a blatant error is inexcusable. Perhaps Proehl assumed he could get by with his sardonic jargon instead of doing some actual interviews or clocking time at the library. If the reader can get past the many typographical errors what they're left with is information that's sketchy at best and erroneous at worst. I definitely felt ripped off after shelling out $8.00 for the ebook edition.5 of 6 people found the following review helpful. So You Thought You Knew CountryBy JackThis concise book should come with a cd copy of "The Gilded Palace of Sin," then you could listen to and read about an album which, although shunned at the time, proved to be one of the most influential records in popular music's history. Hillman, Parsons, Chris Etheridge and Sneeky Pete Kleinow completely abandoned the popular trends of the late sixties, and looked back to the purity and essence of American Country Music. While looking back, they brought their modern talents to the table: Hillman and Parsons could sing and harmonize like country Everly Brothers, and Sneeky Pete tore the cover off of what was normal pedal steel playing, he created waves, almost symphony like, and then could just as easily play the best sounding honky-tonk music you ever heard. There's rock overtones in their music for sure, but the influences of country, r b, and gospel bring it all back home. Reading this book will help you to understand just how audacious a project this was, and how brilliantly the Burrito's performed. It's the story of one of those magic moments when artist's follow their visions and lay down something for the ages! Don't miss it.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Two StarsBy Tim MainMore cut and paste than writing In 1968, the Flying Burrito Brothers released The Gilded Palace of Sin on AM Records, selling a disappointing 400,000 copies. Almost 40 years later, front man Gram Parsons is still spoken of with almost messianic reverence. Patron saint of alt-country, emblazoned with a shining cross, dead at 26. Overshadowed by Parsons, this album remains an anomaly in the country rock genre, a map in miniature of a moment in music, and warrants discussion as more than part of the Gram Parsons legacy. ldquo;The events leading up to the American cosmic musician's smoldering coffin being found rocking in the winds of Joshua Tree Park could have been this book's thematic shadow. Instead, Proehl's studied and droll historical lessons on the 1960s cultural milieu triumph. Nudie Cohn's extravagant country suits, genre authenticity, the lofty origins and dismissal of groupie culture, and the Hells Angels killing of Meredith Hunter add up to a captivating read.rdquo; ?Under the Radar Magazineldquo;Proehl firmly and successfully argues for the album's historical weight: how it ponders America's past, present, and future with equal import. He casts a bold, penetrating eye to the literary and historical contexts of Palace's 11 tracks. EAch dissection is original, though some are more convincing than others.rdquo; ?Charles A. Hohman, PopMatters.comAbout the AuthorBob Proehl runs No Radio Records - a record store and label based in Ithaca, NY. He is also the publisher and editor of Tugboat Captain Press, a poetry imprint.
