As a co-founder of The Byrds and The Flying Burrito Brothers, Chris Hillman is arguably the primary architect of what’s come to be known as country rock. He went on to record and perform in various configurations, including as a member of Stephen Stills’s Manassas and as a co-founder of The Souther-Hillman-Furay Band. In the 1980s he formed The Desert Rose Band, scoring eight Top 10 Billboard country hits. He’s released a number of solo efforts, including 2017’s highly acclaimed Bidin’ My Time—the final album produced by the late Tom Petty.

In Time Between, Hillman shares his quintessentially Southern Californian experience, from an idyllic, rural 1950s childhood; to achieving worldwide fame thanks to hits such as “Mr. Tambourine Man,” “Turn! Turn! Turn!” and “Eight Miles High”; to becoming the first musician to move to Laurel Canyon.

Featuring behind-the-scenes insights on his time in The Byrds, his productive but sometimes complicated relationship with Gram Parsons, his role in launching the careers of Buffalo Springfield and Emmylou Harris, and the ups and downs of life in various bands, music is only part of his story. Within Time Between, Hillman reveals the details of his personal life with candor and vulnerability, speaking honestly about the shocking tragedy that struck his family when he was a teenager, his subsequent struggles with anger, and how his spiritual journey led him to a place of deep faith that allowed him to extend forgiveness and experience wholeness.

As Time Between shows, Chris Hillman is much more than a rock star. He is truly a founding father of American music and a man who has faced down the challenges of life to discover what really matters.

I enjoyed this audio book by Chris Hillman. I have a Kindle version that I read but much more enjoyable to hear Mr. Hillman himself tell the story.

The audiobook is a great way to hear the author’s emotion as he shares the stories of his life. The musical interludes are a nice touch as well.

Great stories from a man who has spent a lifetime on the stage.

Great listen

I really enjoyed reading Chris’s story from his idyllic beginnings in rural California in the 1950s, to personal family heartache, many ups and downs in the rock ‘n’ roll world, followed by contentment and appreciation in his later years. He comes across as very personable and thoughtful, sort of like someone you would like to have dinner with. He really added to the story by reading this himself, also.

Enjoyable read about a well lived life
