The first studio release of the '90s by the Flying Burrito Brothers, EYE OF THE HURRICANE, was recorded in 1991 but not released until 1994. By that time, interest in the group had been renewed by the burgeoning alt.country scene, which took many of its ideas from the first few Burritos albums. Featuring the stalwart pedal steel player Sneaky Pete Kleinow and original bassist Chris Ethridge--who had left the group three times before and would do so again before this record came out--alongside recent Burritos mainstays John Beland and Gib Guilbeau and new keyboardist Brian Cadd, the album is more rock-oriented than the mainstream country sound the Burritos had moved towards in the '80s. The result compare favourably to both Garth Brooks and Uncle Tupelo, showing just how much range the Burritos have at their best.
