Nu het kwik weer tot boven nul is gestegen en de wegen in het Noorden des lands weer begaanbaar zijn, schuiven Floris en Tom aan voor de eerste Two Step van 2025. Een aflevering die tot de nok toe is gevuld met een greep uit country music's finest songwriters. Van relatieve nieuwkomers als Charles Wesley Godwin, Colby Acuff en The Red Clay Strays, tot oudgediende Jim Weatherly. Maar in deze aflevering van Countrykoorts is er ook aandacht voor iets minder bekende artiesten als Rob Baird en Richard Inman. Eeuwig zonde dat laatstgenoemde tegenwoordig aannemer is in Winnipeg. Daarnaast komt de Countrykoorts Community met een gouden vondst: The Desert Rose Band. En we sluiten af met werk van Channing Wilson, die naast het schrijven van gigantische hits voor Luke Combs, Riley Green en Travis Tritt zelf ook geen onverdienstelijke platen heeft uitgebracht. Veel luisterplezier!

Soon after seeing it, I understood its significance by seeing Buck play an identical one on the Hee Haw television show. Later, via the influence of Dwight Yoakam, Emmylou Harris, and the Desert Rose Band in the 1980s, I would dig back and start listening to all of the great albums that Owens made through the 50s and 60s that in turn influenced my heroes. Through the years, I kept looking for one, but one was never up for sale nearby, as I really wanted to see what this Harmony-made mail-order guitar was like. It wasn't until recently that I was able to test out and acquire one of these red, white, and blue beauties from one of the fine chaps at Glaser Instruments, and I was able to finally join the “Buck Club.” This of course threw me down the rabbit hole of finding out everything that I could online from sites like SilvertoneWorld.Net and even calling up Buckaroo Jim Shaw, who continues to run Buck's Crystal Palace club in Bakersfield, CA to get the full low-down on the story behind it. And though Owens is certainly the star here, I have to give Pat Smear of Nirvana, and the great Ryan Adams credit for their role in raising the “cool” factor on these crazy 70s creations. To close the episode, I share the story that Jim Shaw shared with me that they sold hundreds of warehoused versions of the Buck models to cover their expenses during the pandemic. It was hard for me not to see this as Owens working things out from beyond the grave. Special thanks to Buckaroo Jim Shaw, and Buck Owens' Crystal Palace.www.BuckOwens.comAlso for the wonderful information gathered from Silvertone World.https://www.silvertoneworld.net/acoustic/1219buckowens/1219_Buck_Owens_American.html#askzac #buckowens #buckowensamericanSupport the show
Episode 126: Letting It All Hang Out! January 19, 2024 We've had snow since Sunday (?). 7" at first and with single digit temps it aint melted yet. That gave me time to put one together and get it to you. Do you remember “Let it (all hang) out” by The Hombres? I dug it up and play it today. The Memphis band released that in 1967 (how old were you?) and the song has been redone by David Lee Roth and John Mellencamp among others. It was let out in the beginning of the psychedelic era. You'll also hear my spotlight on Chris Hillman, who was a Byrd, played with The Flying Burrito Bros, Stephen Stills' Manassas, Desert Rose Band, JD Souther and Richie Furay and had success as a solo act. He's a player, for sure. There's even a pair from The Beau Brummels. Get your instrument ready for our first JimJam on this episode. We play The Stones' Lady Jane together. The story behind this segment is in a previous blog here. I want to say thanks to all givers, especially Gecko who has joined the financial supporters of Tales Vinyl Tells. You too can help me pay the bills to keep the tracks spinning. Go to Patron.podbean.com/talesvinyltellssupport for that opportunity.

John Jorgenson grew up in Redlands (and while at University of Redlands, actually played clarinet with Benny Goodman conducting!!!), and at one point worked at Disneyland - playing in three different bands comprised of the same four guys. He was in The Desert Rose Band, along with Chris Hillman of the Byrds and Herb Pederson, who's played with more people than I can name in one breath. He was also in the award-winning Hellecasters, and was invited by Elton John to be part of an 18-month tour, which turned into a 6-year stay. John Jorgenson is also one of the forerunners in the world of Gypsy Jazz.I interviewed him just over a decade ago when he was getting ready to perform in Redlands, though this was before the creation of KVC-Arts. About time I included this one! John is still touring and performing in a number of configurations. More at johnjorgenson.com

On October 2nd, 2022, the Desert Rose Band played their final show at the Country Music Hall of Fame as the finale to the opening of the new exhibit, Western Edge: The Roots & Reverberations of Los Angeles Country-Rock. At this final show, Chris Hillman introduced guitarist John Jorgenson as the architect of the Desert Rose Band. This a true statement, as it was John that had the vision to see Hillman's material that was being performed by a small acoustic combo in the early 1980s, as full band California Country Rock, with dashes of Bluegrass, Bakersfield, and Byrds for good measure. But despite John's sizeable contributions, the group was a true sum of its parts; a father of Country Rock, the finest harmony singer on the planet, a wunderkind guitarist/multi-instrumentalist, a legendary steeler, and a veteran bassist and drummer of the highest order. Chris Hillman, Herb Pedersen, John Jorgenson, Jay Dee Maness, Bill Bryson, and Steve Duncan were the finest band to hit both the road and the airwaves since Emmylou's Hot Band, Buck Owen's Buckaroos or Merle Haggard's Strangers. Although their stint with the original lineup only existed from 1985-1991, they made an indelible impact on Country Music. Studio guitarists in Nashville pointed to Jorgenson's tones and began using real amps, electric 12-strings, and six-string basses, and being more adventurous with effects. Songwriters were encouraged to create honest material that focused on sometimes difficult subjects, and road bands everywhere rehearsed more, and still shuddered at the thought of following the Californians, with great songs, amazing harmonies, and top-drawer instrumentalists. The irony of their blowing the doors open in so many avenues was that the Desert Rose Band was soon overtaken in popularity by the "New Country" of the 1990s, which they helped lay the groundwork for. This is my tribute to a band that has given me innumerable hours of enjoyment, challenged me, and is also the chief reason that I bonded with Brad Paisley during our University years. Later, during my time as Paisley's guitar tech, he would routinely tell me if we could not have a soundcheck to "Just make my guitar sound like "Hello Trouble.""Thank you, Chris, Herb, John, Jay Dee, Steve, and the late Bill Bryson for the music that meant so much to me.Jorgenson's gear noteshttps://www.askzac.com/post/the-deser...Their "Greatest Hits"https://open.spotify.com/album/6HMY1K...The Deep Divehttps://open.spotify.com/playlist/2uO...To Support the Channel:Patreon Support the show

I first saw John play in 1994 with the Hellecasters in Nashville, with Brad Paisley in tow. Brad was 21, and I was 20 with a fake I.D. Paisley told me as we got to the door, "If you don't get in, I'm going in without you." Many years later, I had the chance to interview Jorgenson for the Truetone Lounge, and then he kept being mentioned in my "Ask Zac" show, so I finally decided to dedicate a show to his huge influence in making Vox amps, 6-string basses, electric 12-string guitars, and bold effects popular in Country Music. He is also is a huge reason that Matchless amps ever got off the ground.Special thanks to Willem van der Wagen, who runs the Desert Rose Band fan website, and YouTube page.Jorgenson playlisthttps://open.spotify.com/playlist/6iR...Additional photos of John, including some with a prototype Matchless amphttps://www.askzac.com/post/john-jorg...Gear for this video1957 Fender Esquire with added Ron Ellis "New Tall" neck pickup.

In the interview, Jorgenson mentioned that he used a "JV Telecaster" on the first two Desert Rose Band albums, including the iconic solo to "Hello Trouble." In addition to that, he later told me that he used the same guitar for the Hellecaster's first album, The Return of the Hellecasters, on "Highlander Boogie" and "Back On Terra Firma." After John piqued my interest, I was surprised how hard it was to find info on the JV Telecasters, especially the TL62 models like he used. The best information I could find was from the website 21Frets, older sales listings, and original Japanese catalogs from the early 80s. Here I lay out the beginnings of Fender Japan, the short-lived JV series (1982-1984), John's use of the guitar, and the story of finding my own 1983 TL62 JV Fender Telecaster.link to photos & video clips of John Jorgenson and his JV Telecasterhttps://www.askzac.com/post/john-jorg...My Spotify Playlist featuring Jorgenson on a 1982 Fender JV Telecasterhttps://open.spotify.com/playlist/48f...Strings: Ernie Ball 10-46Pick:Blue Chip TPR 35 RB Amp:1959 Fender HarvardEffects used:Turbo TunerBoss DD-2Boss RV-2 - Plate setting9v power via Truetone CS6 https://amzn.to/38S9rZK #askzac #guitartech #jvtelecasterSupport the show

From the archives, Chris Hillman and Herb Pedersen return to the Fur Peace Ranch joined by fellow Desert Rose Band member John Jorgenson in a concert recorded April 5, 2014.
Chris Hillman's autobiography, Time Between: My Life as a Byrd, Burrito Brother, and Beyond, was one of the most celebrated music memoirs of the past year. Publisher BMG Books will soon release it in a much-anticipated paperback version with a brand-new cover, while Penguin Random House will simultaneously release an audio version featuring newly recorded excerpts of 20 songs that have been part of the artist's musical legacy over the years. Hillman is a three-time ACM award-winner and inductee into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as a founding member of The Byrds. 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' 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 with hits such as “Mr. Tambourine Man,” “Turn! Turn! Turn!” and “Eight Miles High.” While the book features 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 Hillman's story. In Time Between, he also 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 a man who has faced down the challenges of life to discover what really matters.

Every time the Eagles board their private jet Chris at least paid for the fuel.” —Tom Petty “Hillman is a bona fide pioneering godfather to generations of musical souls who sought inspiration at that divine crossroads where rock & roll, country, bluegrass, folk, honky tonk, and gospel music intersect and harmonize. He's a national treasure.” —Marty Stuart “This book brought back a lot of great memories: the humorous origins of The Byrds and subsequent adventures.”—Roger McGuinn “Chris Hillman [is] the unvarnished gem of every band he has inhabited. It's time to applaud his legacy.” —Bernie Taupin As a cofounder 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.

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.

ArTEEtude is West Cork´s first art, fashion and design podcast created and produced by Detlef Schlich. Schlich operates with his podcast cross-sectorally. For him a visual artist has to think transversely instead just enjoying the luxury of being the antagonist. To drive the narrative and to be a protagonist, he will dive and discover with us into the unknown and exciting deep ocean of the creative mind. Michael Elliott is the author of the first-ever biography of songwriting legend John Hiatt. Elliott is a contributor to the pioneering roots music authority No Depression. His music writing has also appeared in PopMatters, Albumism, Americana UK, and The Bitter Southerner.

He lives in Raleigh, NC where he and his wife, Elizabeth, volunteer for the NC Reading Service, a nonprofit radio service that delivers content to the blind and visually impaired. Elliot´s biography about Hiatt is based on Elliott's multiple extensive and deeply personal interviews with Hiatt as well as his collaborators and contemporaries, including Rosanne Cash, Bonnie Raitt, Ry Cooder, and many others, Have a Little Faith is the journey through the musical landscape of the 1960s through today that places Hiatt's long career in context with the glossy pop, college-alternative, mainstream country, and heartland rock of the last half-century. A variety of artists in multiple genres have covered his songs, including Aaron Neville, B.B. King, Bob Dylan, Bonnie Raitt, Buddy Guy, Chaka Khan, Albert Lee, Dave Edmunds, Delbert McClinton, Desert Rose Band, Emmylou Harris, Eric Clapton, Iggy Pop, I'm with Her, Jeff Healey, Jewel, Jimmy Buffett, Joan Baez, Joe Bonamassa, Joe Cocker, Keith Urban, Linda Ronstadt, Mandy Moore, Maria Muldaur, Nick Lowe, Paula Abdul, Paulini, Rodney Crowell, Rosanne Cash, Ry Cooder, Suzy Bogguss, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, The Searchers, Three Dog Night, Willie Nelson, Asleep at the Wheel, and Willy DeVille.

Happy Halloween! This week we bring you an episode about the much maligned 80s comedy sequel Teen Wolf Too. Jason Bateman, in his feature film debut, stars as the younger cousin to Michael J. Fox's original Teen Wolf. This time around, the werewolf goes to college, joins the school's boxing team, and... Look, it's literally the first film all over again. That's all you need to know. But believe it or not, this film has a surprisingly decent soundtrack! We get two standout tracks from Oingo Boingo, a solid mix of 80s synthpop (B.G. Vox), southern rock (Desert Rose Band) and new wave (Real Life), and also an extremely misguided cover of The Contours' "Do You Love Me".

ArTEEtude is West Cork´s first art, fashion and design podcast created and produced by Detlef Schlich. Schlich operates with his podcast cross-sectorally. For him a visual artist has to think transversely instead just enjoying the luxury of being the antagonist. To drive the narrative and to be a protagonist, he will dive and discover with us into the unknown and exciting deep ocean of the creative mind. Michael Elliott is the author of the first-ever biography of songwriting legend John Hiatt. Elliott is a contributor to the pioneering roots music authority No Depression. His music writing has also appeared in PopMatters, Albumism, Americana UK, and The Bitter Southerner. Michael spent close to thirty years in radio as operations manager, music director, program director, and disc jockey in a variety of formats.

He lives in Raleigh, NC where he and his wife, Elizabeth, volunteer for the NC Reading Service, a nonprofit radio service that delivers content to the blind and visually impaired. Elliot´s biography about Hiatt is based on Elliott's multiple extensive and deeply personal interviews with Hiatt as well as his collaborators and contemporaries, including Rosanne Cash, Bonnie Raitt, Ry Cooder, and many others, Have a Little Faith is the journey through the musical landscape of the 1960s through today that places Hiatt's long career in context with the glossy pop, college-alternative, mainstream country, and heartland rock of the last half-century. A variety of artists in multiple genres have covered his songs, including Aaron Neville, B.B. King, Bob Dylan, Bonnie Raitt, Buddy Guy, Chaka Khan, Albert Lee, Dave Edmunds, Delbert McClinton, Desert Rose Band, Emmylou Harris, Eric Clapton, Iggy Pop, I'm with Her, Jeff Healey, Jewel, Jimmy Buffett, Joan Baez, Joe Bonamassa, Joe Cocker, Keith Urban, Linda Ronstadt, Mandy Moore, Maria Muldaur, Nick Lowe, Paula Abdul, Paulini, Rodney Crowell, Rosanne Cash, Ry Cooder, Suzy Bogguss, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, The Searchers, Three Dog Night, Willie Nelson, Asleep at the Wheel, and Willy DeVille.

Chris Hillman is one of the unsung heroes of popular music. Starting out as bassist for the Byrds, the band was part of the American answer to the Beatles, electrifying the lyrics of Bob Dylan on “Mr. Tambourine Man,” but showing they could write trailblazing material of their own in songs like “Eight Miles High.”Hillman introduced Gram Parsons to the band and their all-country Sweetheart of the Rodeo was the result. Hillman followed Parsons to the Flying Burrito Brothers, also took part in the Stephen Stills-led Manassas, recorded some solo records and eventually found surprising success on the country charts with the Desert Rose Band in the 1980's. Hillman chronicled all of this in Time Between – My Life as a Byrd, Burrito Brother and Beyond from BMG Books, now out in paperback, and as an audio book, narrated by the author, from Random House Audio.He talks about recording little snippets of songs he was involved in exclusively for the audio book. He also tells us about a pivotal session he did with Hugh Masekela that helped give him confidence as a musician. And, he discusses the anniversary concert for Sweetheart of the Rodeo.

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. Chris Hillman is much more than a rock star. He is truly a founding father of American music and a man who has faced the challenges of life to discover what really matters. He was the original bassist and member of The Byrds, which in 1965 included Roger McGuinn, Gene Clark, David Crosby, and Michael Clarke. With frequent collaborator Gram Parsons, Hillman was a key figure in developing country-rock, defining the genre through his work with The Byrds, The Flying Burrito Brothers, Manassas, and the country-rock group The Desert Rose Band. Chris has now written a book detailing his life in the music business, titled “Time Between My Life as A Byrd, Burrito Brother, and Beyond.” #burritobrothers, #TheByrds, #Restless Heart, #Graham Parsons, #StephenStills, #DavidCrosby Lotta Dogs Productions LLC Co-Produced and Hosted (by the guy who has a face for podcasting): Bob Bender Co-Producer, Creator, and Technical Advisor (the man behind the curtain): Tom Sabella Director of Video and Continuity (the brains of the entire operation): Deborah Halle Audio/Video Editor Mark Sabella Midnight Express Studio Olian, NY Marketing and Social Media: Kaitlin Fritts Executive Assistant to Bob and Tom (the one who keeps us on track and our schedules straight) Tammy Kowalski All Around Problem Solver: Connie Ribas Recorded at: The Bunker in Franklin, TN (except during the Covid 19 pandemic, then it's pretty much done VIA Skype or over the phone, with the exception for those fearless enough to come to Bob Bender's living room… and there are a few).

Multi-instrumentalist and singer Chris Hillman, whose illustrious career started with The Byrds, then went on to The Flying Burrito Brothers, Manassas, Souther-Hillman-Furay Band, McGuinn, Clark & Hillman and Desert Rose Band joins us. In this follow-up to our Episode 096 show, Chris shares (during our interview in January of 2021) his insights with multi-award winning program director Ray White on Manassas, SHF and the historic Criteria Studios in Miami. Several months ago he released a book titled "Time Between" and his most recent studio album is Bidin' My Time. In our showcase segment we'll feature Stephen Stills and Judy Collins, who recently teamed up on Everybody Knows, in addition to Ann Wilson of Heart who has a new solo tune - Black Wing. The superstars of the wide-world of rock/pop music are on the CAT!
The Byrds founding member Chris Hillman, who also played in The Flying Burrito Brothers and country music hit-making act The Desert Rose Band, discusses his first book, "Time Between." Art Crews shares his thoughts on the just-released 2021 schedule for the 32 NFL franchises. Arkansas baseball coach Dave Van Horn speaks as his No. 1 Razorbacks get ready for a series at No. 4 Tennessee. Plus, Louisiana native Ellen DeGeneres announces an end to her daytime show.
“The man who invented country rock.” Those are the words of the late Tom Petty about the most recent guest on The Load Out Music Podcast. One would guess that if you co-founded a band once called the “British Beatles;” if you started another band named for delicious burritos that can fly and is considered the first ever country-rock band; and if you had a string of hit songs stretching from the 1960s through the mid-90s – that you might think you're kind of a big deal. Right? Not if you are Chris Hillman. Yes, you might not know his name. It may not drop off the tip of your tongue. But it should. Hillman was enshrined in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1991 after a 30+ year career in the Byrds, The Flying Burrito Brothers, Manassas, Souther-Hillman-Furay, McGuinn-Clark-Hillman, The Desert Rose Band and simply as Chris Hillman. Now 77, Hillman is not only the author of a remarkable career in music, but the excellent autobiography, “Time Between: My Life as a Byrd, Burrito Brother and Beyond.” The book retells and reflects on his professional and personal journey, a lifelong discomfort with being thought of as the “king of country-rock music,” the dark despair of dealing with his father's suicide, stealing Levi's from May Company, kicking people out of bands and being kicked out of bands, the drugs- and alcohol-fueled implosion of the legendary Gram Parsons, his love affair with his wife Connie, a deep spiritual relationship with God, riding horses, hanging with David Crosby and Stephen Stills and more. For those interested in the history of popular music and the spur in the road where country music diverged down the duel pathways of pop country and outlaw country – it's an episode of The Load Out Music Podcast that is not to be missed. Enjoy!
Rock Talk With Mitch lafon and Alan Niven presents original member of The Byrds, Chris Hillman (Recorded March 3rd 2021) FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE February 4, 2021 CHRIS HILLMAN’S CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED MEMOIR, TIME BETWEEN: MY LIFE AS A BYRD, BURRITO BROTHER AND BEYOND LOS ANGELES, Calif. — Chris Hillman is arguably the primary architect of what’s come to be known as country rock. After playing the Southern California folk and bluegrass circuit, he joined Roger McGuinn, David Crosby, Gene Clark and Michael Clarke as an original member of The Byrds. He went on to partner with Gram Parsons to launch The Flying Burrito Brothers, recording a handful of albums that have become touchstones of the Americana genre. Hillman then embarked on a prolific recording career as a member of Stephen Stills’ Manassas, as a solo artist, and as a member of several groups that he insists sound more like law firms than bands: Souther-Hillman-Furay with acclaimed songwriter J.D. Souther and former Buffalo Springfield and Poco member Richie Furay; McGuinn, Clark & Hillman with two of his fellow former Byrds; and Rice, Rice, Hillman & Pedersen with legendary bluegrass musicians Tony Rice, Larry Rice, and longtime collaborator and duo partner Herb Pedersen. As a songwriter, he appeared on the Billboard singles charts in four consecutive decades, and his songs have been recorded by a diverse range of artists, from Steve Earle to Patti Smith to Roy Rogers. In the 1980s, Hillman launched a successful mainstream country group when he formed The Desert Rose Band with Pedersen and John Jorgenson, scoring eight Billboard Top 10 country hits. In the midst of his country success he was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame along with the other original members of the Byrds. He has since released a number of solo efforts, including 2017’s highly-acclaimed Bidin’ My Time, which was the final album produced by Tom Petty with executive producer Pedersen. Hillman’s memoir, Time Between: My Life as a Byrd, Burrito Brother and Beyond, first published November 17, 2020 by BMG Books, has gone into its second printing and will be available at retail on February 23, 2021. Hillman remains active on the interview circuit. On March 3 he will be featured at Far West Folk Alliance’s virtual conference, “Best of the West & Beyond,” interviewed by journalist Randy Lewis. He will appear on the Signature Sounds Interview series on March 7. Four tours have been postponed due to the pandemic: The East Coast shows will move to spring of 2022. Midwest dates will move to September, Florida shows to October and Texas shows to November of this year. In the memoir, Hillman takes readers behind the curtain of his quintessentially Southern Californian experience. Raised in San Diego County’s then-rural Rancho Santa Fe, Chris grew up in an idyllic 1950s environment that was filled with TV cowboys, horseback riding, exploring the outdoors, surfing, discovering girls, and falling in love with music. When his older sister came home from college with a stack of records by folk artists such as Woody Guthrie and Lead Belly, Chris was hooked. He soon fell in love with the bluegrass music of Bill Monroe, Flatt & Scruggs, and The Stanley Brothers, spending hours mastering the guitar and mandolin. Once the Beatles invaded America, the various aspects of Hillman’s musical DNA came together that would eventually lead to him become a pioneering founding father of country-rock. According to Hillman, "I never anticipated such an incredible response to my book, Time Between, and to already be in the second printing is just phenomenal. I'm grateful to the many people who have embraced it." “BMG has been so pleased with the reaction to Chris’s book,” adds Scott B. Bomar, Publisher and Senior Director of the company’s growing Books department. “We knew it was great, which is why we signed it, but even we were surprised by how swiftly we needed another printing. Nearly the entire first print run was accounted for by the time it hit the market, and we had to scramble to get another print run initiated during the busy holiday season. That’s a good problem to have. The critics and, more importantly, the fans have really resonated with Chris’s direct and honest style. We’re thrilled to be a part of helping him tell his story.” Help support the show. Please consider a donation: https://www.paypal.me/MitchLafon See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Chris Hillman is arguably the primary architect of what's come to be known as country rock.

Chris Hillman was a founding member of the Byrds, one of the most important American bands of the 1960’s, charting hits like “Mr. Tambourine Man,” and “Turn Turn Turn.” After recording the groundbreaking Sweetheart of the Rodeo, which mixed country and rock together, he formed the Flying Burrito Brothers with Gram Parsons. He also spent time in Stephen Stills’ supergroup, Manassas, worked with Richie Furay and JD Souther, and eventually had commercial success with the Desert Rose Band. Hillman chronicles his life in music with Time Between – My Life and a Byrd, Burrito Brother and Beyond, just out from BMG Books.We chat with Hillman about why he chose to write his autobiography without a co-author, and why he eschewed the typical “tell all” book. He also talks about what made Gene Clark such a gifted songwriter and how playing with Stephen Stills really taught him a lot.
Antes de ayer, jueves, 24 de septiembre, TOMA UNO cumplía exactamente 47 años desde su primer programa. Y esta vez lo celebramos ya comenzada la temporada número 48. Y lo queremos hacer rodeados de amigos. Nos encanta celebrar aniversarios. Estamos muy orgullosos de cumplir años haciendo lo de siempre: radio. Es un privilegio. Además, es una de las mejores maneras de manifestar públicamente el respeto y el agradecimiento hacia quienes estáis a nuestro lado. Tener memoria siempre es bueno. Y pensamos conservarla y compartirla. "Era mucho mayor entonces. Soy más joven ahora". Así podíamos escuchar en “My Back Pages”, una canción grabada en la primavera de 1964 por Bob Dylan para su álbum de aquel mismo año Another Side Of Bob Dylan. Lo hizo con el título provisional de “Ancient Memories” y acompañándose exclusivamente de su guitarra con una melodía original muy parecida a "The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll" de su disco anterior. Para abrir nuestro programa de hoy hemos querido recordarla en directo durante 1992 en la conmemoración de los primeros 30 años de la carrera del bardo. Una versión en la que intervenían por orden de aparición: Roger McGuinn, Tom Petty, Neil Young, Eric Clapton, el propio Dylan y George Harrison. Pura Americana. Lloyd Green y Jay Dee Maness, dos de los más grandes instrumentistas de steel guitar, intervinieron en distintas canciones de un álbum de los Byrds titulado Sweetheart of the Rodeo, convertido en la quinta esencia del country rock en 1968. Cuando se cumplió el medio siglo de su publicación, los dos resucitaron conjuntamente aquel disco seminal bajo el nombre de Journey to the Beginning: A Steel Guitar Tribute to the Byrds, una recreación instrumental canción a canción de las 11 que formaron Sweetheart of the Rodeo… pero con un añadido; y es que su tema de cierre fue esta versión del que fuera tema de apertura "You Ain’t Goin 'Nowhere", la legendaria composición de Bob Dylan. Para la ocasión contaron con las voces de Jim Lauderdale, Jeff Hanna de la Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Richie Furay de Buffalo Springfield y Poco, y Herb Pedersen de la Desert Rose Band, además de la mandolina de Sam Bush. El día en que se cumplió el primer aniversario de la muerte de “el Beatle tranquilo” tenía lugar en el Royal Albert Hall de Londres un concierto homenaje a su figura y su música dirigido por uno de sus grandes amigos, Eric Clapton. Al año siguiente veía la luz Concert for George: A Celebration of the Life and Music of George Harrison donde Tom Petty, viejo compañero de George Harrison en los Travelling Wilburys, recordaba “I Need You”, un corte de Help!, el quinto álbum en la discografía de los Beatles. En la versión original de "I Need You" Harrison se desperezaba como compositor y aparecía incluso como cantante solista, además de demostrar sus habilidades como guitarrista. En 1994, dentro del proyecto Red Hot + Country para luchar contra el SIDA, Suzy Bogguss, Alison Krauss y Kathy Mattea unieron sus voces con las de Crosby, Stills & Nash para realizar esta versión antológica de un clásico tan significativo como “Teach Your Children”, que había sido grabado a finales de Octubre de 1969 por aquel supergrupo nacido en las colinas de Laurel Canyon, con la incorporación de Neil Young, para que formara parte del álbum Déjà Vu. Una canción pacifista creada por Graham Nash a la que Stephen Stills incorporó un medio tiempo de country con el añadido del steel guitar de Jerry Garcia, líder de Grateful Dead. Con la introducción original de voz y guitarra de su creador, Kris Kristofferson, y el impecable arrope instrumental de Byron House, Sam Bush, Jon Randall y Randy Scruggs, Emmylou Harris cantaba “The Pilgrim (Chapter 33)” del veterano e influyente cantante y compositor, además de actor. Formó parte de The Silver Tongued Devil And I, el segundo álbum del tejano publicado en 1971. Garth Brooks tuvo una especial significación en la década de los 90, rompiendo casi todas las barreras que la country music había tenido hasta entonces. Criticado hasta la extenuación por los defensores de la supuesta pureza, se retiró de la primera línea durante demasiados años, aunque nunca abandonó del todo. Su regreso oficial no le ha devuelto la popularidad de entonces, pero sigue dejando momentos muy brillantes. Hace siete años lanzó la caja de ocho discos Blame it All on My Roots: Five Decades of Influences. Además de dos CDS recopilando sus éxitos, un DVD con 33 de sus vídeos y otro con su show de Las Vegas que llamó The Ultimate Hits, incluía cuatro CDs con sus canciones favoritas entre las que encontramos “Amie”, un clásico imperdible de la Pure Prairie League, que formó parte de Bustin' Out, un año antes de que comenzara TOMA UNO, y se editó en single en 1975 a instancias de Lenny Kaye, guitarrista de Patti Smith. En 1970, la Nitty Gritty Dirt Band lanzó el álbum Uncle Charlie & His Dog Teddy, una mezcla serena y reposada de country con el folk de California, donde aparecía una luminosa versión del clásico de Jerry Jeff Walker "Mr. Bojangles". Cuando se cumplieron 38 años de aquella grabación, el grupo resucitó el tema con la incorporación de dos artistas compañeros de sello discográfico: Keith Urban y Dierks Bentley. Seguimos con canciones que son fundamentales en la historia de la música. Siempre, con la ayuda de los amigos… Por eso hemos recordado que han pasado 50 años desde que James Taylor publicara su segundo álbum en solitario Sweet Baby James, el que definitivamente impulsó su carrera y determinó un futuro como contador de historias que le ha convertido en un puntal de la Americana. La brillantez de James Taylor se pone de manifiesto en cada uno de sus trabajos, aunque casi todos vienen a coincidir en que Sweet Baby James es el que mejor describe sus formas estilísticas, una vez se hubo afincado en California. Pero no olvidemos que su debut en solitario llegó en 1969 con un álbum homónimo grabado para Apple Records con el apoyo de los propios Beatles. El, por ejemplo, los recordó en directo en este curiosa versión de “With A Little Help From My Friends”, que llevó a su propio terreno desde aquel Sgt. Pepper seminal de 1967. La pandemia ha provocado el aislamiento de muchos, pero han sido muchos artistas de Americana los que han procurado mantener el contacto con su gente gracias a las redes sociales. La familia Nelson ha sido de las más activas. Lukas, por ejemplo, ha instaurado sus Quarantunes Evening Session. La semana pasada, colgaba en su canal de YouTube una versión entrañable de “September Song” con The Promise Of The Real, donde milita su hermano Micah, y contando con su padre, Willie, tocando su inseparable Trigger. “September Song” es un estándar de los años 30 debido a la inspiración de Kurt Weill y Maxwell Anderson convertido en uno de los favoritos de Willie Nelson y que este incluyó en su álbum Stardust. En 1959 los Four Flickers dieron a conocer “Long Tall Texan”, una canción de Henry Strzelecki, uno de los miembros de este grupo de Birmingham, en Alabama, que se inició en el country y pasó al doo-woop de. Por eso no resulta extraño que los Beach Boys la incorporarán a su álbum Beach Boys Concert en el 64. Lo que resultó más sorprendente es que la eligieran 32 años más tarde para interpretarla en Stars and Stripes, Vol. 1, un disco que grabaron con artistas cercanos a Nashville. Así lo hicieron junto a Doug Supernaw, un tejano de Houston que se trasladó a la Music City a finales de los 80, debutando en 1993 con el álbum Red And Rio Grande, un disco equilibrado entre canciones propias y algunas otras de los compositores básicos de aquellos años. Arkie Shibley and His Mountain Dew Boys grabaron en 1950 “Hot Rod Race”, un tema que cinco años después se convertiría en “Hot Rod Lincoln”, cuando Charley Ryan & The Livingston Bros la editaron en Souvenir Records. Commander Cody & His Lost Planet Airmen, una formación favorita desde los comienzos de TOMA UNO, la grabó en el 71 para su álbum Lost In The Ozone y Asleep At The Wheel la enmarcaron en Western Standard Time, otro de esos discos imprescindibles para viajar por carretera. Pero hoy hemos recurrido a 1993 cuando el actor Jim Varney, un nativo de Lexington, en Kentucky, y Ricky Skaggs la actualizaron para la banda sonora de la película The Beverly Hillbilies, que llevó al cine la serie televisiva. Varney, que murió en 2000, hizo el papel de Jed Clampett. Tras la ruptura de los Eagles, se había comentado que Don Henley y Glenn Frey habían vuelto a trabajar juntos para rescatar algunas canciones inéditas de la formación de cara a un enésimo disco de éxitos y que, incluso, se podría hablar de un regreso del grupo. Esos rumores no pasaron de ahí. En pleno 1993, 20 años después de comenzar TOMA UNO, Don Henley e Irving Azoff, presidente de Giant Records, se pusieron a trabajar en un antiguo proyecto del batería. Consistía en que algunos de los artistas de country más populares por entonces se reunieran en un álbum interpretando versiones de los éxitos de los Eagles. El 40% de los royalties estarían destinados al proyecto Walden Woods, que Henley estableció en 1990 para proteger la tierra alrededor de Concord, en Massachusetts, donde Henry David Thoreau escribió el clásico Walden. El resultado fue Common Thread: The Songs Of The Eagles, un disco imprescindible que fue premiado por la CMA como álbum del año. En diciembre se estrenaba un video protagonizado por Travis Tritt en el que se reunía con la banda al completo para una nueva versión de "Take It Easy". Así se inició oficialmente su reunión. Así cerramos esta vez nuestra celebración de un aniversario más. Pensamos seguir contando. Escuchar audio
Hoy debemos comenzar el programa con un recuerdo emocionado a Jota Mayúscula, nuestro querido compañero, que falleció el pasado jueves. Todo un pionero del rap y el hip hop en España con el que hemos compartido muchos ratos entrañables en los últimos 22 años de esta casa. Jota, amigo, sigue jugando con las agujas allá donde vayas y rimando mejor que nadie. El mismo día en que George Jones cumplía 72 años, moría Johnny Cash en el Hospital Baptista de Nashville por problemas respiratorios producidos a causa de su diabetes. Dos días antes había sido dado de alta en el mismo hospital, donde fue ingresado por problemas estomacales. Tenía 71 años y han pasado 17 desde entonces. Johnny Cash se marchaba poco menos de cuatro meses después de la desaparición de su mujer, June Carter. Su salud había empeorado desde el fallecimiento de su compañera durante tantos años y fue enterrado junto a ella en el cementerio de Hendersonville, muy cerca del hogar que habían compartido. Cuando regresó del servicio militar en Alemania en 1954, se estableció en Memphis, se casó con Vivian Liberto trabajó en casi todo lo que uno pueda imaginar. Pero la música era su objetivo vital, conoció a Luther Perkins y Marshall Grant tocando juntos en pequeños locales de la zona. Se presentaron a Sam Phillips como un grupo de góspel y salieron haciendo country. Su primer single fue “Hey Porter”, su primer single, cuya letra fue publicada en el periódico militar Stars And Stripes y la historia empezó a cambiar. Sus actuaciones en la radio como Johnny Cash & The Tennessee Two les hicieron ganar un buen número de seguidores. A partir de ahí todo es historia básica de la música popular. Tras la muerte de Johnny Cash se especuló sobre cuál fue la última canción que grabó. En un principio se hablaba de "Like the 309", uno de los dos únicos temas propios que El Hombre de Negro incluyó en su último álbum en vida, American V: A Hundred Highways, el quinto de la serie producida por Rick Rubin. Pero al año siguiente, en 2004 veía la luz un recopilatorio producido por John Carter Cash, The Unbroken Circle: The Musical Heritage of the Carter Family, donde aparecía "Engine One-Forty-Three", la última grabada por el mítico artista de cuya muerte se cumplen 17 años. De vez en cuando nos encontramos con artistas que poseen la habilidad de llamar la atención a la primera escucha. Ese es el caso de Jordan Suter, un nativo de Colorado que acaba que ha hecho su debut con el Ep Tumbleweed, convertido en el filtro de influencias de artistas de la Red Dirt Music como Randy Rogers o Wade Bowen unido a las maneras de Jason Isbell y Blackberry Smoke. Todo ello con una cierta sensación de paz y comodidad. La curiosidad del trabajo está en esta versión inesperada de “Long Black Veil”, que nos cita con la figura de Lefty Frizzell, el primero en cantar una balada compuesta hace más de medio siglo por Danny Dill y Marijohn Wilkin inspirándose en una grabación de Red Foley como "God Walks These Hills With Me", además de una información periodística sobre el asesinato no resuelto de un sacerdote, y una mujer que cubierta con un velo visitaba habitualmente la tumba de Rodolfo Valentino. El pasado jueves se cumplieron 55 años desde que los Byrds grabaron "Turn! Turn! Turn! (To Everything There Is a Season)", su segundo y último No.1 en las listas. Firmada por Pete Seeger, su letra está tomada del Eclesiastés, cuya autoría se atribuye al Rey Salomón. En aquella formación seminal encontramos a un joven músico californiano proveniente de bluegrass que tocaba la mandolina, pero que se encargaba del bajo. Era Chris Hillman, que vuelve a estar de actualidad ya que con prólogo de Dwight Yoakam, tapa dura y 315 páginas, el próximo 17 de noviembre se publican sus memorias, Time Between. My Life as a Byrd, Burrito Brother, and Beyond. Estamos, sin duda, ante uno de los actores fundamentales del country rock. Tras los Byrds, formó en los Flying Burrito Brothers junto a Gram Parsons, fue miembro de Manassas y socio fundador de la Souther-Hillman-Furay Band. En los 80 lideró la Desert Rose Band, un imponente grupo que dio paso a sus aventuras en solitario. La última de ellas, Bidin’ My Time, de hace tres años. A lo largo de los años, Chris Hillman nos ha aleccionado, posiblemente sin quererlo, sobre cómo se evoluciona desde las tradiciones sonoras del bluegrass al country-rock más brillantes en épocas menos amables que las actuales para fundir géneros musicales. El otoño de 2017 nos trajo la terrible noticia de la muerte de Tom Petty y, por el contrario, el primer álbum de Hillman en 10 años, producido precisamente por el artista de Florida. Con el nombre de Bidin' My Time (aguardando mi tiempo) el músico de Los Angeles, que a primeros de Diciembre cumplirá 76 años, puso al día un sonido del que fue pionero en la mitad de los 60, gracias a la producción de Petty, en cuyo estudio del sur de California se grabó aquel disco. El apoyo de algunos viejos amigos trajo recuerdos de los mejores años de la década de los 60, como fue el guiño a los Byrds en “Here She Comes Again”, una canción compuesta por Hillman y su antiguo compañero Roger McGuinn, que había sido grabada exclusivamente en un disco en vivo en Australia. Chris Hillman volvió a encargarse del bajo, algo que no había hecho en 30 años. Sid Griffin reunió a los miembros originales de los Long Ryders para lanzar un álbum tras tres décadas llamado Psychedelic Country Soul, con ese sonido atemporal que les ha acreditado como una banda familiar en el terreno del country rock. El año pasado vinieron de gira y nos quedó un regusto amargo sobre su puesta en escena. Ahora el veterano músico ha aprovechado el tiempo de pandemia para que los miembros del cuarteto pusieran en común “Down To Well”, un tema que resume la situación actual de Estados Unidos. El guitarrista Stephen McCarthy, que ha compuesto el tema junto a Greg Sowders, reunió en su estudió las partes grabadas por cada uno de sus compañeros desde sus casas y se ha convertido en el nuevo single de una banda que, en palabras de su líder, Sid Griffin, confía en estar sobre un escenario el próximo año. Pudimos haber tenido a Chuck Prophet actuando en distintos lugares de nuestro país poco antes de entrar el verano, pero la pandemia lo impidió. Hubiera sido el mejor momento para que nos presentara personalmente esa especie de exorcismo sonoro que bien podría describir The Land That Time Forgot, su último álbum. Este músico con sede en San Francisco no ha olvidado sus raíces en el rock desértico de los inolvidables Green On Red y ha realizado una road trip sonora que recorre desde el Sur profundo a los Everly Brothers, pasando por el rockabilly, alguna tonalidad espacial y todo ello sin olvidar las esencias de Dylan o Tom Petty. Para ello ha contado con su pareja, Stephanie Finch, su viejo amigo y colaborador klipschutz, el poeta californiano de Indio que lleva en San Francisco desde hace 30 años y todo tipo de escenarios posibles para que su sonido sea especialmente cambiante como si hubiéramos subido a un carrusel. “Best Shirt On” en un mensaje conmovedor a la constancia en tiempos tan duros como los del presente, cuando se pierde el empleo y se lucha entre la esperanza y la desesperanza. Está inspirado en la propia experiencia de su padre. La psicodelia de Grateful Dead, y las raíces sureñas de los Allman Brothers son el sustento sonoro vital de Cordovas, formados por Joe Firstman en Nashville hace nueve años. Nos visitaron en la primavera de 2019, esa que ahora nos parece tan lejana para hacer una gira inolvidable y ahora nos anticipan su tercer álbum de estudio que aparecerá a mediados de octubre con el título de Destiny Hotel. Tras ser producidos por Milk Carton Kids, esta vez el trabajo ha corrido a cargo de Rick Parker en Los Angeles con 10 canciones que dan continuidad a That Santa Fe Channel de hace dos temporadas y donde subyace un cierto tono de nostalgia, como en “Rain on the Rail”, que bien podría ser una autobiografía del propio Firstman, con una experiencia que le llevó a firmar con Atlantic, trabajar con Willie Nelson, liderar la banda del programa de Carson Daly y, por fin, dar origen a Cordovas. Aquí llega desde el corazón de Texas Shaker Hymns, una formación debutante a la que no vamos a perder de vista tras un álbum de debut autoeditado como The Ties That Bind en el que el Southern Rock se muestra poderoso, aunque no son tan afilados como Whiskey Myers y tienen, por el contrario, tonalidades más cercanas al soul. Las canciones tienen mucho de la personalidad de su líder y compositor, Nyles Robakiewicz, sabiendo enmarcar las emociones como en “Just Fine”, con sólidas dentelladas de country rock. Después de haber publicado en EP hace tres años, han asentado sus formas y han logrado un disco muy equilibrado en la producción, siendo una de las mejores noticias de este año complicado. El próximo 23 de octubre, Bruce Springsteen publicará Letter To You, su nuevo álbum junto a la E Street Band, a quien había dejado de lado en su último proyecto, Western Stars, uno de los más personales, y posiblemente controvertidos, de su larga carrera. De nuevo produciendo junto a Ron Aniello, el Boss ha elegido 12 canciones, de las que tres de ellas estaban guardadas desde los 70. El álbum fue grabado en tan solo cinco días en su estudio casero de Nueva Jersey y cuenta con la E Street Band al completo grabando en vivo, sin overdubs. Desde la gira de 2016 no había tenido a su lado a sus compañeros de siempre. Su tema central tiene mucho de confesión desde la experiencia. Sheryl Crow está especialmente activa en estos tiempos de pandemia y acaba de publicar un nuevo single en vinilo de 7 pulgadas y edición limitada a 500 copias. La artista de Missouri es bien conocida por su activismo y este sencillo habla bien a las claras de su posicionamiento ante la situación de su país. Para ello ha mirado ocho años atrás y ha realizado una versión actualizada de “Woman In The White House”, que publicó por entonces para descarga gratuita. El tema defiende la idea de la presencia de una mujer en la Casa Blanca precisamente ahora que Joe Biden ha contado con Kamala Harris para acompañarle en la vicepresidencia. Es la tercera mujer en aspirar a ese puesto como candidata de un partido con posibilidades de ganar. Susan Santos es un ejemplo de resistencia, y más aun en tiempos como los del presente. La artista extremeña estaba grabando en Sound of Pisces Music, en North Hollywood en diciembre del año pasado sin imaginar, como todos, la que se nos venía encima. Pero cuando llegó la pandemia y el aislamiento forzoso, su reacción ha sido la de seguir avanzando, aunque sea a pasos más cortos. En el mes de julio pudimos estrenar “Dirty Money”, uno de los cuatro cortes de The L.A. Sessions, un EP que aparecerá el próximo 6 de noviembre. Esta vez vamos a despedir el programa desde la barra de un bar de carretera donde se ahogan los corazones rotos y las malas experiencias. “Somebody To Love” tiene todas las hechuras para filmar una road movie.

Brooks Robertson discusses his finger picking guitar lessons available on TrueFire, performs, and answers questions. To learn more and watch the video from this live session, please visit truefire.com/live.About Brooks Robertson: Brooks Robertson just doesn't need much more than two thumbs, eight fingers and six strings on a wooden box to carry his listeners away. Hailed by prominent exponents of his instrument like Nokie Edwards, Thom Bresh, John Jorgenson and Mason Williams, the young fingerstyle guitarist embodies the creative vision of a postmodern world: It's the music that counts. Brooks utilizes his superb technical abilities to play bass, rhythm and melody simultaneously and surpass the borders of conventional genres. He merges hauntingly beautiful compositions, country rhythms and jazzy harmonies with funky licks into his very own art form – sometimes delivered with a punch, sometimes with a smile. Brooks was born in Eugene, Oregon in 1989. Seeing Buster B. Jones perform at a festival near his home town became a life-changing experience for the kid from the sticks. Just eleven years old, he was immediately inclined to pick up the guitar. Soon, the world renowned fingerstyle virtuoso and instructor dedicated his spare time to introducing his new fan into the secrets of the fretboard, and after six months of lessons the natural talent performed his first show with his mentor. When Buster B. Jones took him under his wings, Brooks began playing high-profile gigs such as the Nokie Edwards Festival, the NAMM Show in Anaheim, the Montreal Jazz Festival or the Walnut Valley Festival in Winfield among others. By the time he was a teenager he had become the youngest endorsee of Godin Guitars and traveled to several states and foreign countries to perform.Brooks went on to play on Garrison Keillor's National Public Radio classic "A Prairie Home Companion" in 2004, where he won first place in a talent competition for 12 to 20 year old participants. In recent years, while still appearing regularly at prestigious events like the Chet Atkins Appreciation Society (CAAS) Convention in Nashville, Brooks focussed on perfecting his craft, soaking up new tunes and styles and techniques as well as blending them into his own groovy and soulful original music. He entered the "Yamaha Six String Theory Guitar Competition", which drew participants from more than 40 countries all over the world. Brooks was invited to perform in the finals at the Broad Stage in Los Angeles in March 2010. A star-studded jury, including Steve Lukather and Lee Ritenour, eventually chose him as winner of the country category and second place winner overall. Although he is deeply rooted in the powerful tradition of the genre, founded by the likes of Merle Travis, Jerry Reed, Thom Bresh and Buster B. Jones, Brooks also draws inspiration from the elegant mastery of the legendary Chet Atkins and other phenomenal players. His own compositions and arrangements have even been compared to fingerstyle jazz champions Lenny Breau and Earl Klugh. Now, as energy and maturity come together, this young man is ready to step out of his mentors' shadows and electrify the world with the sheer acoustic beauty his fingers create, when touching a set of strings."I was completely knocked out with the acoustic guitar virtuosity of Brooks Robertson! Brooks has a very original touch and sound plus monster chops. He's always making great music with his guitar. I'm sure Brooks will be sharing his music with the entire world and have an incredible career." Lee Ritenour (Grammy award winning guitarist ) "He is slicker than a cat on a greased pole." Nokie Edwards (The Ventures, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame) "Brooks Robertson plays like the house is on fire." Thom Bresh (legendary thumbpicker) "Brooks Robertson is well-equipped to carry on the legacy of Buster B Jones' powerful and funky guitar style. Any player would be very proud to have such an accomplished guitarist as a protégé. Brooks' personal playing and composing style is equally compelling, as audiences around the world are finding out. The solo guitar's future is in good hands with players like Brooks out there!" John Jorgenson (Elton John, Desert Rose Band, Hellecasters) "All guitar players are like Frankensteins. Their music is made out of bits and pieces of other players. In Brooks' case, he's a son of a Frankenchops, the well known monster picker Buster B. Jones. Buster and Brooks are both so scary ... the legend continues." Mason Williams ("Mr. Classical Gas") "Brooks Robertson is a superb and exciting guitarist. I love his playing!" Pat Bergeson (Chet Atkins, Jerry Reed, Lyle Lovett, Madeleine Peyroux) "Brooks Robertson has one of the very best techniques in fingerstyle guitar. You can hear the influences of Buster B. Jones, Jerry Reed, and all the great fingerpickers past ... and he's writing some fabulous new material. An amazing guitar player who's showing the rest of us how it's done! Nobody whops Brooks Robertson!" Richard Smith (fingerstyle virtuoso) "Brooks Robertson's playing is wonderful, rhythmically precise, harmonically complex and melodically compelling. How he controls all three simultaneously, blending them into something musically engaging, is remarkable. He's a gem." Neil Andersson (Pearl Django)
Rock & Roll Hall of Famer and multiple Grammy nominee Chris Hillman joins us to talk about his songwriting with The Byrds, The Flying Burrito Brothers, The Desert Rose Band, and much more. EPISODE DETAILS: PART ONE Scott and Paul talk about the Motley Crue movie and the pros and cons of musical biopics. PART TWO - 9:45 mark Scott and Paul head up to Ventura to meet Chris Hillman and find out how he got hired to play bass with The Byrds without ever having played bass before; the reason that Miles Davis and Bob Eubanks deserve a lot of credit for The Byrds’ success; how playing bass on sessions for South African jazz legend Hugh Masekela inspired Chris to write his first songs (which became country-rock classics for The Byrds); the band he and Roger McGuinn were mocking when they wrote “So You Want to be a Rock ‘n’ Roll Star;” what happened on a particularly memorable trip to Stonehenge with Mick Jagger and Keith Richards; the song he and Gram Parsons were inspired to write following Gram’s motorcycle accident; what he says really killed Gram; why Chris was so shocked by his major country music success with The Desert Rose Band; how spirituality has impacted his songwriting process; and the inside details of creating his most recent album with producer Tom Petty. ABOUT CHRIS HILLMAN: Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Chris Hillman first came to songwriting prominence as a founding member of The Byrds when he wrote or co-wrote several of the band’s classic songs, including “So You Want to be a Rock ’n’ Roll Star,” “Have You Seen Her Face,” “Time Between,” “Thoughts and Words,” “The Girl with No Name,” “Natural Harmony,” “Old John Robertson,” and others. Departing The Byrds following their landmark Sweetheart of the Rodeo album, Hillman teamed with Gram Parsons to launch the Flying Burrito Brothers. The pair penned a series of now-classic Americana standards for the band, including “Sin City,” “Wheels,” “Christine’s Tune,” “Juanita,” and “High Fashion Queen.” Chris spent time in the group Manassas, where he co-wrote the charting single “It Doesn’t Matter” with Stephen Stills, before releasing a handful of solo albums and collaborative projects with several other musicians, including Richie Furay, J.D. Souther, Gene Clark, and Roger McGuinn. Hillman found his greatest commercial success with the Desert Rose Band, which he founded with Herb Pedersen and John Jorgenson. Chris penned a dozen of the group’s charting singles, including the Top 10 hits “Love Reunited,” “One Step Forward,” “Summer Wind,” Start All Over Again,” “Story of Love,” and “I Still Believe in You,” which reached #1 on the Billboard country chart. The group was named Band of the Year three years in a row by the Academy of Country Music and earned multiple CMA award nominations. Hillman is a country rock pioneer, a four-time Grammy nominee, and the recipient of the Americana Music Association’s Lifetime Achievement Award. His songs have been recorded by Emmylou Harris, Sheryl Crow, Ron Wood, Tom Petty, Patti Smith, Beck, The Hollies, Roxette, Crowded House, Uncle Tupleo, Dan Fogelberg, Dwight Yoakam, Marty Stuart, Steve Earle, Nazareth, Black Oak Arkansas, The Oak Ridge Boys, Alison Krauss, and others.

ABOUT JOHN JORGENSON Named “one of the most respected guitarists in the world” by the Los Angeles Times, John Jorgenson is a musician and composer who is not easily pigeonholed. The three-time ACM Guitarist of the Year first rose to prominence as a founder of The Desert Rose Band, which landed eight Top 10 singles on the Billboard country chart between 1987 and 1990. He went on to co-found The Hellecasters, an instrumental guitar trio whose debut release earned Album of the Year honors from Guitar Player magazine. In the 1990s Jorgenson spent six years touring and recording in Elton John’s band and released a collaborative instrumental album with Elton’s longtime guitarist Davey Johnstone. In the following decade Jorgenson firmly established himself as a preeminent interpreter and innovator in a different genre, earning the official designation as the “US Ambassador of Gypsy Jazz.” The John Jorgenson Quintet has released a handful of highly regarded gypsy jazz albums while John has continued to record with artists such as Bonnie Raitt, John Prine, Bob Seger, Barbra Streisand, Kenny Chesney, Earl Scruggs, Luciano Pavarotti, Amy Grant, Lionel Richie, and many others. In 2006 Peter Frampton won the Best Instrumental Album Grammy for Fingerprints, which featured a song performed and composed with Jorgenson called "Souvenirs de Nos Pères (Memories of Our Fathers)" In 2009 Jorgenson took home a Grammy for Best Country Instrumental Performance for his work alongside fellow pickers James Burton, Vince Gill, Albert Lee, Brent Mason, Redd Volkaert, and Steve Wariner on Brad Paisley’s “Cluster Pluck.” “If there’s one guitar player I’d like to be,” Paisley has said, “it would be John Jorgenson.” In 2015, John released Divertuoso, a three disc album that features his three current performing bands: The John Jorgenson Electric Band, The John Jorgenson Bluegrass Band, and the gypsy jazz of the John Jorgenson Quintet.

Best known as the writer of classic Eagles hit such as “Peaceful Easy Feeling” and “Already Gone,” Jack Tempchin is a prolific Southern California troubadour. Emerging from the San Diego folk scene, Tempchin became a fixture in L.A.’s Laurel Canyon music community in the late 60s and early 70s where he formed personal and musical alliances with Jackson Brown, J.D. Souther, Glenn Fry, and others. Following his songwriting success with the Eagles, Jack’s band The Funky Kings scored with “Slow Dancing” a Tempchin-penned composition that went on to become a Top 10 pop single for Johnny Rivers and a Top 10 country hit for Johnny Duncan. In the 1980s he and former Eagle Glenn Frey collaborated frequently, co-writing Glenn’s hits “I Found Somebody,” “The One You Love,” “Smugglers Blues,” "You Belong to the City," and more. In the 1990s he found success in the country field when his songs were recorded by artists such as George Jones, Sammy Kershaw, Patty Loveless, and Trisha Yearwood. As an artist, Jack has released a half dozen studio albums and a handful of live records. His most recent EP, Room to Run, is available now via iTunes and Spotify, and his new album Leaning to Dance will be released this summer. Additionally, Jack has recently launched a series of online videos called "Go Write One," which is designed to inspire people to create their own songs. We assume he knows what he’s talking about because, in addition to the artists already mentioned, Jack’s songs have been recorded by Emmylou Harris, Linda Ronstadt, Wilson Phillips, Buck Owens, Tanya Tucker, the Desert Rose Band, Dwight Yoakam, Glen Campbell, Kenny Rogers, and the list goes on and on....
Chris Hillman, Herb Pedersen & John Jorgenson of the Desert Rose at WSM Radio, recorded November 9, 2012. The trio treated us to several live acoustic performances and previewed their show that night at the Franklin Theatre.
