Sin City (Hillman & Parsons '69)

We don't own any green mohair suits (yet!), but nonetheless we bring you the Flying Burrito Brothers' "Sin City." Chris Hillman and Gram Parsons claimed they wrote this song in the span of a golden 30 minutes sometime in 1969. This means it took us roughly 8 times as long to record it as it did for them to write it.

This is why Statehouse Electric has become my favorite Band. I play Piano in Las Vegas when I got off work last night I just listened to this over and over.

[@statehouseelectric]

Thank you, Casper! We hope to have a couple more videos out later this month.

@@statehouseelectric "Sweetheart of the Rodeo" is the album with Gram Parsons. :)

[@statehouseelectric]

@@steveswell1 Oh, duh - brain freeze. Of course! Our band has even talked about doing a special show where we play the whole album back to back.

Great tune. Well presented. The song has a lot of resonance with today's situation, unfortunately.

[@statehouseelectric]

Thank you very much! It certainly has that apocalyptic fall-of-civilization vibe...

[@SanFranciscoFatboy]

Would have been better if the guy in white sang in key

[@estebancee]

Yeah maybe, but he’s really tasty player. 😀

[@steveswell1]

"In key"?? Maybe a little off pitch here and there. I think it would have been better with your silence overall. :)
