BURRITO DELUXE Sneaky Pete, T. Spurlock, c. Moody & W. Watson

But that's not quite the end of the story because as we have already seen nothing is ever simple with the Burrito story.
In Nashville Tommy Spurlock and Carlton Moody had co-opted Sneaky Pete into a new recording project dedicated to the Flying Burrito Brothers & Gram Parsons.
However because of John Beland's ownership of the "Flying Burrito Brothers" name, the band called themselves "Burrito DeLuxe" featuring Sneaky Pete and with two other ex Burrito members in Cochran & Lanow the band's activities are included here.

The sessions were recorded at Tommy Spurlock's Nashville Studio and "Camp David" owned by David Vaught in Thousand Oaks, California, himself a brief member of the Burrito's in the 1990's, and who also participated on some tracks playing Bass.
The basic band for the recordings were Kleinow, Spurlock, Lonow, Watson & Moody with the latter two handling most of the vocals although Gib Guilbeau did contribute lead vocals to a couple of songs. This unit was augmented by various Nashville studio musicians such as Glen Duncan, Anthony Crawford, Gillian Welch & David Rawlings.
The resulting album "Georgia Peach" was released by Lamon Records in 2002 and contains a mixture of new material and songs associated with the Burritos & Gram Parsons.

Following the album release the band played several shows to promote the album including a short tour of France & Holland. However, Tommy Spurlock & Willie Watson did not perfom any of these live dates so ex "Band" member Garth Hudson who had played on one of the album tracks joined along with bassist David Rowe (later replaced by Jeff "Stick" Davis (ex-Amazing Rhythm Aces) and another ex Burrito, Bobby Cochran.

The following year Chris James acquires the trademark rights to "The Burritos Brothers" name in 2012 and in the same year Chris Hillman gains the rights to "The Flying Burrito Brothers".

THE BURRITO BROTHERS Peter Young, Fred James, Tony Paoletta, Chris James & Jody Maphis

In 2013 Walter Egan leaves so Fred James moves to guitar & vocals and is replaced on pedal steel by Tony Paoletta.

During the next couple of years there are further line-up changes with Ronnie Guilbeau joining the band on occasions and Rick Lonow leaving to join Poco being replaced by Peter Young on drums, Jody Maphis (member of the Earl Scruggs Revue in the 70s. His father Joe Maphis wrote "Dim lights, thick smoke & loud, loud music&quto;) takes over from Rusty Russell on bass.
In 2015 the band with the current line up of Chris & Fred James, Tony Paoletta, Peter Young & Jody Maphis sign with "Lowe Rider Entertainment" and a new album tentatively titled "Still Going Strong" is planned for a 2016 release with a live album also planned.

2018 the new ablum from "The Burrito Brothers" album "Still going strong" saw the light of day!
The album bridges from past to future, paying homage to the roots while taking an explorational musical journey. Certainly, it brings to the listener an audible vacation to a new place while having a sense of home for those familiar with the group.

The opening track, "Between Your Hands and Mine" (penned by Gram Parsons (lyrics) and Chris James (music)), is a testament to the bridge and the group's longevity. Songwriter Mike Ward had been given a notebook full of poetry, song ideas, lyrics and to-do-lists of Gram Parsons' by John Nuese. Chris composed music to Gram's lyric.
Two songs were co-written by Gib Guilbeau's (a member of the Burritos for nearly 25 years!!!) son Ronnie Guilbeau!
Good idea to use the cabin on the cover of "Gilded Palace Of Sin" for the look of this cover!

These tracks were recorded in between the making of the regular albums or as singles and one-offs. Some also were recorded before the poeple involved were in the Burrito Brothers. They became "Burrito" recordings when it was realized that the musicians who did the sessions became "Burrito Brothers" band members later.

This is from the liner-notes:

Here we say adios to Bob Hatter. This is his last time around with The Burrito Brothers. It is the culmination of a triology that began in 2018 with "Still going strong" and continued on in 2020 with "The Notorious Burrito Brothers". There was a warmth in completing this after Hatter's passing, as if he's still with us. We cherished the feeling. We carried the spirit of the "Doctor", the "tough guy", throughout every step of the way in making this album. We'd written and conceived most of it more than a year before he died. We four were just beginning to record these new songs when the pandemic shut everything down. This is the same album we'd have made had Bob lived. In order to see this vision through to completition we enlisted the brillantly talented, Steve Allen. He joined in with Bob's full blessing. Steve got spiritually into the whole idea of carrying on Bob's work. It was amazing and beautiful. This is far crry from any normal way to build an album. But the results are immensely satisfying. Things worked out very well. It felt blessed. It probably was - Bob's smiling above.
