Sin City: The Very Best of the Flying Burrito Brothers

Collects the whole of the first two Flying Burrito Brothers albums (which were also the two with which Gram Parsons was involved) - The Gilded Palace Of Sin and Burrito Deluxe - and some other songs from the time. I've had it for ages, but it really is coming into the right time of year for this music now, and I've been listening to it properly lately and basically bathing in how unimpeachably good it all is (particularly that first album). I think I like solo Gram better, but the charms of the Flying Burrito Brothers' stuff are of a somewhat different hue and in many ways they run just as deep.
