Since the Flying Burrito Brothers really didn`t record that much material during their prime period, and since all of their recordings from this period are uniformly great (not just good, great), they`re an exceptionally easy band to anthologize. So, it`s possible to find songs that really should have been here -- "Hot Burrito #1" (or, "I`m Your Toy," as Elvis Costello retitled it on reissues of Almost Blue) and "Farther Along" for starters, along with such fine moments as "To Love Somebody" -- but when you`re listening to this, it`s hard to notice that they`re missing simply because these 12 songs are so good. Also, they emphasize the barroom roots of the band -- each song here would sound great on a payday Friday night, whether they`re rockers or weepers. And, it`s a rather inventive selection, since it does contain "Hot Burrito #2" instead of "#1," plus such rarities as "Lazy Day" and "Break My Mind," plus "Train Song," which was one of the carrots on the double-disc set Hot Burritos! for collectors. So, it`s a little more than you`d expect for a collection aimed at casual fans, which makes it interesting even for the converted, but it has so much terrific music here that it`s bound to convert the curious. After all, once you fall in love with a little of the Burrito Brothers or Gram Parsons, you`re bound to want to hear it all. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
