Flying Burrito Brothers' The Gilded Palace of Sin

In 1968, the Flying Burrito Brothers released their debut album, The Gilded Palace of Sin on A&M Records, selling a disappointing 400,000 copies. Bob Proehl's book uses the Seven Deadly Sins as a kind of structuring device to look at an album that plays as fast and loose with its religious images as it does with its genre-borrowing.
