'Gilded Palace of Sin'

An all-time, top 10 record for me. It has everything. The musicianship. The perfect balance between the swaying heartbreak of country and the driving energy of rock and roll.

It's basically a greatest hits for the Burritoes and Gram Parsons' shining moment. Yeah, he had other tunes, other albums. But "Gilded Palace" was the great bridge between The Byrds and Parsons' solo work.

I can listen to this over and over.
