“Each Sunday, Pitchfork takes an in-depth look at a significant album from the past, and any record not in our archives is eligible. Today we revisit the cosmic country rockers’ 1969 debut, a strange, short-lived truce in the long battle between hippies and squares.”

“One of my favourite albums, and Gram Parsons is my favourite artist. Dark end of the street is in my opinion the best cover version of all time. A very influential album for the alt country movement, with some great songs, from Hot Burrito#1, one of my favourites, to Sin City, kind of their signature song. The cover and nudie suits are great too! A document of its time to, with the draft dodging ‘My Uncle’ and very 60s vibe!”
