Μένουμε λίγο ακόμα σε κλασικά late ‘60s (δεν ξεκολλάς εύκολα από δω…) με δυο τραγούδια από ισάριθμα άλμπουμ – ορόσημα του ψυχεδελικού country rock : τα μόνα που ηχογράφησαν οι Καλιφορνέζοι Flying Burrito Brothers υπό την καθοδήγηση του ηχητικού οραματιστή Gram Parsons (φωνή, κιθάρα, πιάνο), πρώην μέλους των Byrds όπως και ο co-founder Chris Hillman. Ήταν τα The Gilded Palace Of Sin (1969) και Burrito Deluxe (1970). Μετά την κυκλοφορία του δεύτερου, ο Parsons άφησε το γκρουπ, αδυνατώντας να αντεπεξέλθει στις αυξανόμενες “επαγγελματικές πιέσεις” λόγω προβλήματος με τα ναρκωτικά – θα οδηγείτο τελικά στο θάνατο από αυτά το 1973, σε ηλικία 26 χρόνων. Ο GP είναι συνδημιουργός των δυο κομματιών μαζί με τον Hillman. 📀 📀 📀 We’re staying a little longer with classic late ’60s material (it’s hard to tear yourself away from this period…) with two songs from an equal number of albums — landmarks of psychedelic country rock: the only ones recorded by the Californian Flying Burrito Brothers under the guidance of sonic visionary Gram Parsons (vocals, guitar, piano), a former member of the Byrds, just like the co-founder Chris Hillman. These were The Gilded Palace of Sin (1969) and Burrito Deluxe (1970). After the release of the second album, Parsons left the group, unable to cope with the increasing “professional pressures” due to his drug problem — which would ultimately lead to his death in 1973 at the age of 26. GP co-wrote both tracks together with Hillman.

CODY, CODY
Cody, Cody, I hear you say
I hear your voice calling me away
I’m not afraid to think of what I might find
I will be yours, will you be mine
We’ve all been young, we’ve all been old
We’ve all been sheltered from the cold
Come to my side and say what I think
I already know
I’m going away don’t you want to go
I remember the face that Harvey drew
It was of a man
That my eyes saw thru
Come by my side before the evening is gone
And see where else this body’s flown

CHRISTINE’S TUNE
She’s a devil in disguise
You can see it in her eyes
She’s telling dirty lies
She’s a devil in disguise
In disguise
Now a woman like that all she does is hate you
She doesn’t know what makes a man a man
She’ll talk about the times that she’s been with you
She’ll speak your name to everyone she can
She’s a devil in disguise
You can see it in her eyes
She’s telling dirty lies
She’s a devil in disguise
In disguise
Unhappiness has been her close companion
Her world is full of jealousy and doubt
It gets her off to see a person crying
She’s just the kind that you can’t do without
She’s a devil in disguise
You can see it in her eyes
She’s telling dirty lies
She’s a devil in disguise
In disguise
Her number always turns up in your pocket
Whenever you are looking for a dime
It’s all right to call her but I’ll bet you
The moon is full and your just wasting time
She’s a devil in disguise
You can see it in her eyes
She’s telling dirty lies
She’s a devil in disguise
In disguise (in disguise)
In disguise (in disguise)
In disguise (in disguise)
In disguise
