We were done in 30 minutes with the whole song, Hillman said. They called it Sin City, and on the first Burrito Brothers album, they sang it together, sounding like a world-weary version of the Everly Brothers. It became one of the signature songs of the country-rock movement in Los Angeles and a lasting, cynical anthem for the music industry.

The Flying Burrito Brothers were founded on the West Coast of the United States, by Gram Parsons and Chris Hillman, former members of The Byrds,[2] and pianist/bassist Chris Ethridge and pedal steel guitarist Sneaky Pete Kleinow. They recorded The Gilded Palace of Sin without a regular drummer, although Eddie Hoh and Jon Corneal were both full-time members at times during the early days of the band. Both feature on the band's debut album. The album contains originals by Parsons/Hillman and two covers by soul music writers Dan Penn and Chips Moman. After firing Corneal, needing a permanent drummer for touring purposes, the band hired Michael Clarke, another ex-Byrd, who had recently been working with the Dillard and Clark Expedition.
