Flying Burrito Bros
In my research of Folk rock bands the name Gram Parsons came up. I have done some research on him which uncovered this band he was an influential part of. I found a live recording from 1969, the same year they released Guilded Palace of Sin. I was surprised to hear it was thoroughly country. I expected it to have some rock in it. Im missing some development from folk to folk rock yet. I dont see this band as part of that. Not being a country music fan I dont know if the songs on the recording were originals or covers but a couple of them I did recognize. Wake up little Suzzie from the Everyly bros was one of them. The bands' cover was dismal compared to the Everlies. So maybe all the songs in this performance were covers. Is it possible that the FBB moved more toward rock after Gram left?

When Gram died in 1973, Hillman joined Manassas and went on with a more rock and roll way. In my opinion, Parson's vision of advancing the Country side sort of faded, i'd be curious if there were any performers that carried his (Gram's) torch after his passing. MGF |

This is more about research of a Family Tree of performers and what bands they migrated to.

Bound to Fall Written by Hillman and Stills
Interesting, here's a very much more Rock and Roll song by Manassas, co-written by Hillman and Stills.

OP wrote that he was researching Folk Rock Bands and exploring Country Rock Bands...hence my post.

Well, The Eagles gave Gram credit for inspiring their fusion of country and rock, and Poco did the same with Crazy Eyes, their tribute song to Gram. As for carrying Gram's torch, Gram was actually carrying a torch lit by Buck Owens and his Bakersfield sound, so Buck was actually more Gram than Gram for years afterward.

Mercy, hope it helps. Not complete by any means. For some reason, The Long Ryders, one of my favorite country-rock bands, were not on either list. So I just added them to the Country Rock list.

Here are some of the "country rock" musicians included on the wikipedia page:
The Allman Brothers Band Jimmy Buffet Ry Cooder Cheryl Crow The Doobie Brothers John Hiatt Gordon Lightfoot Little Feat Nick Lowe Ted Nugent Elvis Presley Darius Rucker Steven Tyler Some of these folks may have dipped their toe into the country genre with a song or two, but none of these artists should be considered country rock musicians. Seriously....Ted Nugent

Yes, one of the problems with Wikipedia is that anyone can edit a page and add information. As President Abraham Lincoln once said, "You can't believe everything you read on the Internet."

Yes, I noticed that also. Groups/guys that certainly couldnt be categorized a country rock but there are a lot there that were.
