Al Perkins and Kenny Wertz replaced them for a final tour in autumn of 1971; during these performances, veteran bluegrass musicians Roger Bush (acoustic bass, vocals) and Byron Berline of Country Gazette participated as guests during an acoustic interlude.

Wertz, Kenny (4 February 1942–Present) Banjo player, guitarist and vocalist who started out playing clarinet and singing at church. He became involved in the San Diego music scene and performed in groups such as Avery Pitts, Les Baxter’s Balladeers, and The Shady Canyon Boys.

Kenny Wertz, Dave Ferguson, and Roland White left the group. Alan Munde and Roland White were the only members of Country Gazette in 1977, when they recorded the album "What a Way to Make a Living" on the Ridge Runner record label.

Shortly after the release Kenny Wertz told the band he want to quit. Country Gazette had released that first album and were at the begining of a big tour - the band could change Kenny's mind. On that tour around the States the band showed what they can.

But before Bernie Leadon left, he played at least one show (Record Plant in Hollywood) with new Burrito member Kenny Wertz. Kenny Wertz played with Chris Hillman in the "Scottsville Squirrel Barkers" in the early 60's and was in the new group "Country Gazette" with Byron Berline , Roger Bush & Herb Pedersen.

In their places, Hillman recruited Al Perkins and Kenny Wertz respectively. Wertz had previously played with Hillman in the Scottsville Squirrel Barkers. The band also added two guest musicians for their fall 1971 tour in Byron Berline and Roger Bush from Country Gazette.
