After playing the Southern California folk and bluegrass circuit, he joined David Crosby, Roger McGuinn, Gene Clark and Michael Clark as an original member of The Byrds. He went on to partner with Gram Parsons to launch The Flying Burrito Brothers, recording a handful of albums that have become touchstones of rock-influenced country.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHillman then embarked on a prolific recording career in various configurations: as a member of Stephen Stills' Manassas; as a member of Souther-Hillman-Furay with J.D. Souther and Richie Furay of Buffalo Springfield; as a solo artist; and in a trio with his fellow former Byrds Roger McGuinn and Gene Clark.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the 1980s, Hillman launched a successful mainstream country career when he formed The Desert Rose Band with Herb Pedersen and John Jorgenson, scoring eight Top 10 country hits. In the midst of his country success he was inducted into the Rock \u0026amp; Roll Hall of Fame. He has since released a number of solo albums with the most recent, Bidin' My Time, produced by Tom Petty. In Time Between, Hillman takes readers behind the curtain of his quintessentially Southern Californian musical journey.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BMG Books","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":50414556741963,"sku":"1101676","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/41f1fb88-f6be-43aa-8749-352399aa90b2_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726683901"},{"product_id":"bidin-my-time","title":"Bidin' My Time","description":"\u003cp\u003e'Bidin' My Time', produced by Tom Petty and executive-produced by Herb Pedersen, captures a rarity: an icon of Americn music who has never sounded better, making music with old friends for the sheer love of it.

But, in the mid 1970s, Hillman decided it was time to try things on his own. 1976 brought Slippin' Away, the musical journeyman's first solo release. Produced by renowned engineers Ron and Howard Albert (Derek And The Dominoes, Allman Bros., Jimi Hendrix), it was a star-studded affair, featuring members of Booker T. \u0026amp; The M.G.'s, Poco, Buffalo Springfield, The Turtles, and ace studio musicians. Hillman took his place as front-man, and the results were the epitome of the classic '70s LA sound. He returned the following year with Clear Sailin', which saw him dial back the flashy supporting cast for a more traditional release?much like the iconic music he had created in his early years with The Byrds and Burritos. For Clear Sailin' Hillman assembled a core band (including soon-to-be-superstar Richard Marx) with production helmed by Jim Mascon (Poco, Firefall). A number of songs feature co-writes with Crawdaddy magazine's founder, Peter Knobler. Hot on the heels of his 2017 critically acclaimed album (produced by Tom Petty), The Asylum Years presents both of those '70s albums on one compact disc, with an essay from Scott Schinder, featuring a new interview with Hillman. Having been a catalyst and innovator on the musical landscape for decades, The Asylum Years sees this byrd take flight.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Omnivore","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50521955205451,"sku":"2018185","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/test_73e474e8_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727997133"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/collections\/chris-hillman.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
