4.0 out of 5 stars A solid effort from a legendary band, March 26, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Eye of a Hurricane (Audio CD)

According to the liner notes, this is a reunion album of sorts. John Beland, Gib Guilbeau, Sneaky Pete, and Chris Ethridge are joined by Australian country-rocker Brian Cadd and legendary drummer Ronnie Tutt for a highly entertaining set of original tunes. The vocal harmonies are excellent, and the playing is superb (made even more so by Tutt's stellar performance). Particularly outstanding are "Wheel of Love", "Heart Highway", and "Jukebox Saturday Night", but this album has something for everyone, and re-establishes the Burritos as leaders in their genre. Long live the Burritos!

This is a must-have cd from the greatest country-rock band in history. All the tracks are absolutely stunning; to mention favorites would be to go down the entire list. John Beland is brilliant as always, Sneeky Pete and Gib Guilbeau are awesome. New member Brian Cadd (he has since departed) fits right in, which is saying a lot. The most notable aspect though, aside from the great music, is the return of original bassist Chris Ethridge for the first time since 1975. He even contributes a lead vocal. Although he didn't stay long, and The Flying Burrito Brothers have gone on to make two even greater cd's in the '90's, "Eye Of A Hurricane" still remains one of their most fully realised recorded achievements. If you have even a slight interest in country music or country-rock, you'd be doing yourself a favor by picking up this cd. And their next two ('97's "California Jukebox" and 1999's "Sons Of The Golden West") as well. The band has never been more inventive than in this decade.
