Sunset Sundown is an album by thecountry rock groupthe Burrito Brothers, released in 1982.[1] It was produced byMichael Lloyd.[2]
AfterSkip Battin left the band, the remaining three members of the Burrito Brothers carried on hoping to keep their commercial success going. The three singles released from this album, "If Something Should Come Between Us (Let It Be Love)", "Closer to You" and "I'm Drinkin' Canada Dry", all made the US country top 40. After the recording ofSunset Sundown, sole founding member"Sneaky" Pete Kleinow left the band, leaving the Burrito Brothers as a duo of John Beland andGib Guilbeau.
In 1983, the pair would go on to release a few more hit singles and record one more album for Curb Records,A Taste of the Country. While the album remains unreleased, "Blue and Broken-Hearted Me" and "Could You Love Me One More Time" would show more chart success for the duo. In 1984, after leavingCurb Records, the duo recorded a double LP for Paradise Records entitledA New Shade of Blue featuring background vocals bythe Jordanaires.[3] Paradise Records folded before the album could be released; however a 13-track version of it was released in Europe in 1995 asDouble Barrel. After the sessions for the album, Beland and Guilbeau went their separate ways, bringing the Flying Burrito Brothers to an end again, albeit temporarily.

The Globe and Mail wrote: "Numbers such as the draggy 'Louisiana', the Kenny Rogers-styled 'How'd We Ever Get This Way' or the bayin'-at-the-moon 'What's One More Time' would make perfect elevator music for a 26-story dude ranch."[5]The Daily Oklahoman opined that "this sorry collection of middle-of-the-road, AM-radio country music bears no resemblance to the band of yore."[6]
All tracks composed and arranged by John Beland and Gib Guilbeau; except where indicated
