Eye of the Hurricane- Flying Burrito Brothers



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!
