"Sin City" · The Flying Burrito Brothers, The Gilded Palace Of Sin

 

The title is deceptive. It's not about Las Vegas, but about the music business in L.A.

 

Sin City’ The Flying Burrito Brothers | 1969

 

"...It became one of the signature songs of the country-rock movement in Los Angeles and a lasting, cynical anthem for the music industry...Hillman, a founder of the Byrds, was still deeply embittered by the implosion of that band and the machinations of its manager, the late Larry Spector. “Spector was a thief, it was as simple as that. And his condo, he lived on the 31st floor behind this awful, garish gold door...The song was also a cautionary dirge, Hillman said, to “people like Gene Clark from the Byrds, who came here from Kansas with all that talent and all bright-eyed and talented and idealistic, and the whole thing just swallowed him up.”

 

(plus you get to hear Sneaky Pete on pedal steel!)
