Farther Along

Flying Burrito Brothers, “Farther Along” (A & M, 1988; originally released 1969-early 1970s)
On the first dozen-or-so cuts on this compilation, Gram Parsons single-handedly invented what would come to be known as “alt-country,” but from another angle this could be seen as the last great ‘60s pop record. The brightness and concision verge into an eerie, lurid intensity with echoes of the archaic (or even occult) recall Sgt Pepper, as do some of the song structures.
