QUOTE FROM
AUSTRALIAN MUSICIAN
MAGAZINE
When
I first had the opportunity to interview John Beland my research
attempts were stymied by the sheer weight of his career. The
history of the Flying Burrito Brothers is such that I would
refer you to the band’s
web site
to do your own research because I don’t have the page room here
to do it justice.

"John
Here's to the good old
days when only you
would play my songs.
Love ya pal. God
bless."

"John Beland, a friend
for many years has been the reason for much of my
success in the songwriting
 business.
His Original 'licks' that showed up on the hit
records are from John's demo's he did for me. The
very original lick on "FRIENDS IN LOW
PLACES"
is just on proof of his musical Genius. He deserves
the Billboard #1. chart award that I gave him that
is hanging on his wall in his studio instead of on
my own wall with the other awards.
Thanks again, John, you're the absolute BEST and
I'll kick anyone's ass that says different.
Tu amigo"

"John Beland is a
great guitarist with a
unique voice, and a
unique personality. I
have always hoped he
would one day become a
star. I have also had a
big crush on him, as he
is one of the best
looking guys in the
business."

included John in her top
selling autobiography)

"We've
known and used John for
over three decades and
he is simply one of the
best in the business."

"John's an
amazing musician who
always comes up with the
perfect hooks and
signature riffs whenever
he is on a session. He
and I have been
best mates for 4
decades, and I can truly
say there is nobody
better."
(Legendary singer
songwriter and
Australian superstar
recording artist)

" I've heard
more good music, told
more good stories and
laughed harder and
longer with John than
any other person in the
world. I love this guy,
and if you get to know
him you will too. I've
know, respected and
admired John for so many
years that it seems like
forever, and that's ok
with me"
(legendary producer, hit
songwriter, founding
member of the Hearts &
Flowers" and MC of the
