New album, Irish tour for Burrito Deluxe

American group Burrito Deluxe, featuring legendary musicians Garth Hudson of The Band and 'Sneaky' Pete Kleinow of the Flying Burrito Brothers, are currently on tour in Ireland and will release a new album this Friday, 16 July.

'The Whole Enchilada', on the CoraZong Record label, is the band's first release. 

After the disbanding of the original Burritos in 1972, Kleinow pursued a career as a session musician, becoming one of the most sought-after steel guitarists in Los Angeles through the 1970s and recording with everyone from John Lennon and The Rolling Stones to Fleetwood Mac and Stevie Wonder.

In the past two decades he has also continued his recording career, playing with various incarnations of The Flying Burrito Brothers and releasing a solo album, 'Meet Sneaky Pete' in 1990. His work with Burrito Deluxe marks his return to the studio after more than a decade.

Multi-instrumentalist Garth Hudson has been heralded as one of the most innovative musicians of the latter half of the twentieth century.

His work with The Band is legendary and he has also played and recorded with a variety of artists releasing his own official solo debut, 'The Sea to the North', in September 2001.

Together with fellow band members Jeff 'Stick' Davis (The Amazing Rhythm Aces), Rick Lonow and Carlton Moody (The Moody Brothers), they have also embarked on a series of dates around Ireland.

Must Watch TV

  • - Mad Men

    Sky Atlantic, 9.00pm

    The fifth season of Mad Men has moved on slowly from the studied stillness of the early days to present at least one earth-shattering pivotal moment an episode. We've also noticed small chinks emerging in Don Draper's granite-like countenance (we don't mean his recent choice of hideous sports jackets) and the feeling that, perhaps, the man is heading for a great fall and a taste of his own medicine in the love stakes. We could of course be wrong and he and young wife Megan will live in domestic bliss forever. Ha! In tonight's episode, it's the season of goodwill to all men, and Christmas wishes look set to become a reality for some of our Madison Avenue favourites.

  • - Eurovision Song Contest Semi-Final One

    RTÉ Two/BBC Three, 8.00pm

    Eurovision Song Contest Semi-Final One RTÉ Two/BBC Three, 8.00pm Rating: *** The Jedward juggernaut rolls into the Borat-like Azerbaijan and with Marty Whelan providing commentary on our brave boys' efforts it really doesn't get more Eurotastic than this. This is the first of two semis in the lead up to Saturday's singing shootout and John and Edward will be battling to be one of the ten countries from each semis to join the host nation, along with France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom in the final. Let's hope they keep their head above the, eh, waterline.

  • - Touch

    Sky1, 8.00pm

    In tonight's all-new episode, Jake forms a special bond with another mute boy. It's a typically eventful week for Martin, swinging from the expose of a corrupt cop to the romantic endeavours of a Brazilian street musician hoping his guitar-playing will also pluck the heartstrings of a beautiful woman he's had his eye on. News comes to light about one of Teller's key patients too. High concept but warm and fuzzy high concept all the same.

  • - Fíorscéal

    TG4, 10.30pm

    Every child gets through some 6000 diapers before he or she is toilet trained. Every diaper takes 400 years to decompose in landfill. Worn for just a few hours, then chucked away to rot forever in the garbage, diapers are a symbol of our modern aspirations and consumerist society and have become an ecological nightmare. All the more frightening if we consider that babies from China and India are not yet wearing diapers. Fíorscéal presents both a serious and humorous investigation into the diaper dilemma with this film.

  • - Neville's Doorstep Challenge

    TV3, 7.30pm

    Door stepping is a much frowned upon journalistic practice but it's more than acceptable for a crack commando interior decorator like Neville Knott. In this new series, he arrived unannounced at a randomer's door and offers to turn their life around, well, their kitchen/bathroom/living room. Tonight Nev and the team makeover a dining room in Co. Clare and in the process we the amazed viewer learn how to transform a burnt orange, uncoordinated dining room into a classical slice of the Hamptons (is that in nearby Ennistymon?), on a tight budget. And of course, proud homeowners Collette and Alan get to see their brand new space for the first time.
