Chris Hillman/Peter Knobler

Chris Hillman co-founded some of the most classic, seminal, groundbreaking acts of the â€™60s and â€™70s including The Byrds, The Flying Burrito Brothers, Manassas, and The Souther-Hillman-Furay Band. But, in the mid 1970s, Hillman decided it was time to try things on his own. 1976 brought Slippinâ€™ Away, the musical journeymanâ€™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. & The M.G.â€™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 â€™70s LA sound. He returned the following year with Clear Sailinâ€™, which saw him dial back the flashy supporting cast for a more traditional releaseâ€”much like the iconic music he had created in his early years with The Byrds and Burritos. For Clear Sailinâ€™ Hillman assembled a core band with production helmed by Jim Mascon (Poco, Firefall). A number of songs feature co-writes with Crawdaddy magazineâ€™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 â€™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.
