Rock pioneer Chris Hillman talks about the craft of the songwriter and about his prolific career. Speaker Biography: Chris Hillman began his career playing guitar and mandolin, later becoming a bass player, a songwriter and a vocalist. The Byrds' first single, a cover of Bob Dylan's "Mr. Tambourine Man," was a huge international hit and marked the birth of the musical genre "folk rock." During the mid-1960s, The Byrds ranked as one of the most successful and influential American pop groups, recording a string of hits including "Eight Miles High," "So You Want to Be a Rock 'n' Roll Star" and "Turn! Turn! Turn!" With the departure of David Crosby and Michael Clarke from the band in 1968, Hillman and his new partner Gram Parsons changed the Byrds' musical direction, helping to usher in a new era of music known as "country rock," when they recorded the album "Sweetheart of the Rodeo." Hillman's work with The Flying Burrito Brothers reflected the eclectic musical interests of a generation. Returning to his bluegrass and country roots in 1987, Hillman joined the Desert Rose Band, which enjoyed a string of 16 top country hits. They also garnered a number of awards from both the Academy of Country Music and the Country Music Association. Hillman is considered a notable artist across several genres, influencing country rock and roll, folk rock and pop music. His songs have been covered by artists such as Sheryl Crow, Beck, Rose Maddox and Emmylou Harris. Hillman's latest album .... + Informações

From the band's 2nd out of three appearances on "Shindig", this is one of the VERY FEW TOTALLY LIVE TV show appearances the band did. The guitar solo is chopped in half, plus no guitar outro in order to fit the show's very strict time contraints. This performance also exposes the band's weakness as a "Live act", which they were indeed known for. Notice on the close-up of Michael Clarke, his foot is not even on the kick drum pedal!!! The stiff, plodding sound of the rythym section, coupled with the kind of music they were doing, and the '60's sound system situation; all these things really worked against the band. It's a kick to hear Gene Clark try to cram the word "Probably" into damn near two syllables, as they are playing the song extra fast to fit the allocated time. Bass players: This is GREAT place to learn the Bass line, because here, Chris Hillman is louder than everything else. :-) Join us at The Byrds Yahoo! group:. + Informações

He brought Gram Parsons into the Byrds to lead them to electrified country or country-rock and made history. Personally, I owe my love of bluegrass to Hillman.
