Flying Burrito Brothers- Cabin Fever

Cabin Fever
This is a live cd recorded during the 1985 tour and issued by Relix Records, who continue to put out FBB live cd's. The lineup was Sneeky Pete on steel, Skip Battin on bass and vocals, Greg Harris on vocals, fiddle and guitar, and drummer Jim Goodall. Since both John Beland and Gib Guilbeau were not part of the '85-'86 tours, they weren't among the most memorable of the band's history. But they were very entertaining and well played. This contains several Burritos classics and Byrds classics as well, and a nice Dylan cover, but Greg Harris isn't as good a singer as FBB fans have grown accustomed to hearing. Still, "Cabin Fever" is a very enjoyable listen-- just not an essential one.
