Análisis (en inglés) - :
This double-disc set from Belgium's {@Music Avenue} features two {$Flying Burrito Brothers} lineups and live/outtake recordings from the mid-'70s to the early '80s -- by which time {$Gram Parsons} had been long gone. Disc one, entitled {^From Another Time}, features original {$Burrito} bassist {$Chris Ethridge} and pedal steel strongman {$Sneaky Pete Kleinow}, with drummer {$Gene Parsons} (no relation); fiddle player, vocalist, and guitarist {$Gib Guilbeau}; and Los Angeles {\rock} and {\blues} everyman guitarist and vocalist {$Joel Scott Hill} (whose {^L.A. Getaway} album with {$Ethridge} is regarded by many as a classic of early-'70s {\roots rock}). The {^Hollywood Nights} lineup on disc two contains {$Kleinow} as the only original member. He is joined by bassist {$Skip Battin}; {$John Beland} on guitars, Dobro, harmonica, and vocals; {$Guilbeau}; a slew of drummers, including {$Billy Thomas} and {$Mickey McGee}; alternating keyboard players; and female backing vocalists, including {$Jeanie Clark}. What does it all mean? That these are bands that tried to continue on a legacy begun and lasting for only a magic moment in the late '60s and early '70s. {$Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen} played the standards -- and there are plenty of them here, including {&"Dim Lights, Thick Smoke (And Loud, Loud Music),"} and {&"White Line Fever"} -- and the original {$Burrito} tunes cannot be given the same soul they were by the original band with {$Hillman} and {$Parsons} sharing harmonies. This one is for completists only. There isn't anything terribly wrong with these performances; there just isn't anything original or captivating about them, either. ~ Thom Jurek, All Music Guide
