Burrito
Deluxe - Disciples of the Truth
By Rebecca Hosking
 Being a huge Flying Burrito Brothers fan, I took notice of the
band when I was reading their bio and saw they took the name
Burrito Deluxe from the 1970 album. I like the feel of
that album and they keep with the charm on this CD. This
is highly influenced by the late great Gram Parsons. The
band displays incredible appreciation for Gram’s talent and
throws in a snazzy style they can proudly call their own.
This band shares their convictions to move you on a spiritually
and socially conscience level. The first track, Out of
the Wilderness, is talking about a redeemed person. I
found it to be a born again adventure of a long road of sin that
brought him to his sanctimonious state of today. There
were very clear pictures and vivid lines that show, not tell,
what is on his mind. They pick up the tempo on the title
track Disciples of the Truth. There was a tightly
executed jam session of blues piano and rockin’ guitars.
My favorite of the entire CD was Midnight at a Red Light,
I thought it was a very clever hook that grabbed my attention
and Who’s Gonna Love You was a long bitter road of
betrayal and absolution. Both are incredibly written with
stunning images and upbeat toe tapping rhythms. I like the
vocals and instrumentation of this CD. It appears to be
very well thought out and implemented with precision and grace.
These boys have definitely lived up
to their influences and would have done Gram proud. They
have tight lyrics, enticing messages, and highly professional
performance. Can’t take much away from them and highly
recommend a listen. I myself went out and bought previous
albums as I was so impressed with this one.
