Are these the albums that made country cool? Former Byrds Gram Parsons and Chris Hillman picked up where they left off with Sweetheart of the Rodeo. While Parsons had already pushed rock in a country direction during his brief stint with The Byrds and The International Submarine Band, The Gilded Palace of Sin and Burrito Deluxe are why the Burritos are widely viewed as the inventors of country rock. Indeed with on these two albums, Hillman and Parsons carved a substantial place in music history as one of the most influential albums and bands of all time.
The original LP art is restored by IR’s Tom Vadakan and the old-style, “tip-on, brown-in” LP jackets are printed by Stoughton.
