Sons of the Golden West is the 8th studio album by The Flying Burrito Brothers, released in 1999. This album, like California Jukebox before it, contains a mixture of original and covers and a variety of guest musicians. This was the first album to contain absolutely no contributions from the original lineup as "Sneaky" Pete Kleinow had stopped working with the group due to health concerns in 1997 (He appeared on Sunset Sundown despite having left the group by the time of its release).

Contents

The album was re-released in Australia in 2002 as Honky Tonkin' and contained variations in the track order. The track "Ode To Gram" was omitted and replaced with "Wheel of Love" from 1994's Eye of A Hurricane and "Willin' " from 1997's California Jukebox.
