I could hardly believe there were no Last.FM groups to honour The Flying Burrito Brothers, Chris Hillman or Roger McGuinn. So I didn’t hesitate to create them ;-) Feel free to join and show your respect for those guys. Thanks. http://www.last.fm/group/Chris+Hillman http://www.last.fm/group/Roger+McGuinn http://www.last.fm/group/The+Flying+Burrito+Brothers

Chris Hillman is one of the finest, and most enduring artists of our generation. Emerging from the bluegrass scene in the 1960s to do a little folk-rock with a combo known as the Byrds, to dragging country music into the mainstream with the Flying Burrito Brothers, taking on Manassas, as well as a few detours with SHF, McGuinn-Clark & Hillman and McGuinn & Hillman, before going back to his roots and, just after Ever Call Ready, his Desert Rose Band had an impressive run on the country charts. Today, he's an elder statesman for the Bakersfield Sound and he and Herb Pederson still light up venues across the USA. During one of his transitional years in the late 1970s, he played to a crowd of less than 100 in Arnold, MO. He and his band played as if there were thousands for nearly two hours. Not allowing his disappointment to get the better of him, he dove in and gave an impressive show. People remember things like that.

McGuinn, Clarke and Hillman had a song, "Don't you write her off like that" in the late 70's or early 80's...can't find here of i-tunes. Give a shout if you know this one.
