Complete change of pace for Mr Hillman, and so sweet.

These four guys including Chris and Bernie Leadon put out 2 gospel bluegrass lps under the name Evercall Ready.

The Byrds, The Burritos, Manassas, Souther/Hillman/Furay, yet his star burned the brightest in this fantastic band.

John Jorgensen filling putting a David Crosby-esque middle between Chris and Herb Pedersen.

Amos Otis · Dec 4, 2019

Great song w/ Tony Rice, Herb Pedersen, Mark O'Connor, and Jerry Douglas.

Rice, Rice, Hillman, and Pedersen made 2 great LPs. Ronnie Simpkins on bass.

Amos Otis · Dec 4, 2019

Hillman, Pedersen, and that jerk that sings good.
