Magic Time Machine Of Love

The Magic Time Machine of Love finds Nashville's Burrito Brothers-Chris P. James (vocals/keys), Bob Hatter (guitars), Tony Paoletta (pedal steel) and Peter Young (drums)-pushing cosmic-American music into tomorrow with eleven tracks that mingle fresh songwriting with daring reinventions: Gram Parsons' voice, isolated via the same AI technology used on the Beatles' "Now and Then," soars alongside the band on "Pride of Man" and "More and More," while Procol Harum's "A Whiter Shade of Pale" appears in a lush country-soul arrangement restoring Keith Reid's unused verses. Original Flying Burrito alumni Jon Corneal and Ian Dunlop swagger through "Used to Do," steel-guitar legend Al Perkins adds shimmer to "More and More," and the James Brothers lend harmonies to a twang-kissed cover of the Beatles' "What Goes On." From the progressive-country sweep of "Tales of Desire" to the vintage Bakersfield snap of "Love Blast," this limited-edition CD bridges past and present, expanding the Burrito legacy while honoring the genre's richest traditions.
