Summary

"Hot Burritos is a hard-hitting insider account of the brief but influential career of The Flying Burrito Brothers, as told to writer John Einarson by founder member Chris Hillman and other band-members and associates." "Speaking candidly for the first time, Hillman shatters countless myths surrounding this legendary band and offers a uniquely intimate portrait of his band-mate, the doomed cult hero Gram Parsons. He tells of the Hillman-Parsons creative partnership; the notorious 'train trip' tour of 1969; the ill-fated Altamont festival; the discovery of Emmylou Harris; the introduction of college crowds to bluegrass; and the group's enduring legacy. Here, at last, is the true story of The Flying Burrito Brothers."--BOOK JACKET.
