Chris Hillman has been the Secret Weapon of EVERY Band He's been involved with. Great Musician, Great Vocalist, Great Guy.

Holy crap, I can't believe i found this! Two of my all-time favorite musicians having a conversation... amazing.

So true. It was an awesome conversation. Makes me wish that this could be expanded somehow. Also, wish that Gram was still around. Would love to be able to hear his voice and hear him talk about his perspective and memories connected to Chris, Roger, and Bernie...

Too bad Michael McCall is a very bad interviewer. Besides his unpleasant voice, he tries to be as relevant as Hillman and Leadon. What a jerk!

Delightful interview. The original 5 Byrds changed my life forever. Two great talents here & great guys. What a story & so much more that they didn't get to. And all those brilliant people they have played with over the years. Funny how the circle is a wheel ..... Would have loved to see the exhibition. Great story about the rescue of Chris Ethridge's Burrito suit! Thanks for everything fellas & thanks Michael for the program. xxx

Remember the "Six Degrees of Separation from Kevin Bacon"? that was so popular years ago? Chris Hillman is definitely the "Kevin Bacon" of West Coast/Country Rock." Bernie Leadon is right there with him for sure! Great conversation between these 2 guys!

That's why he is worth 10 million. Royalties are important. Those guys did a lot of stuff right for being that long ago. Most artists in tat period got burned pretty good on their early hits. Mostly because they were not smart enough to copywrite their song credits and percentages on song credits. If you wrote the song your self in all aspects then you own it all aside of the money for live shows which if it's a band every one gets an even cut. Most of the time.

I love Chris's comment about Gene, "Did anyone ever see this guy read a book?" Because he came up with such incomparable lyrics. Who would think up "the world turns all around her"? Or even "please let me love you and it won't be wrong?" Or "I'll probably feel a whole lot better when you're gone".

I saw Bernie Leadon on Ralph Emory's country talk show years ago. Ralph Emory kept hammering Bernie Leadon about "The Eagles" which I am sure was the last thing Leadon wanted to talk about. I think that Ralph Emory was a bit clueless.

@MTMountainMan5411 5 ай бұрын

Could never dare take anything away from Ralph Emery's impact on contemporary country music (especially his overnight WSM radio show and early morning Nashville TV show etc) but by the time he came into most of America's living rooms on TNN he was not always the sharpest interviewer...watching some of the old shows here on KZbin is actually a bit uncomfortable at times. I guess in his defense, most of the Nashville Now episodes were live and were 90 minutes and on 5 nights a week in addition to his other commitments he kept at the same time. Whatever you do, don't watch the episode when Roger McGuinn is a guest, and the subject of The Byrds' visit to his WSM show comes up...cringe big time.

They were and are one of the biggest bands ever so of course he's gonna get asked about the Eagles. I wish they would have discussed the Eagles more in THIS interview.

Fascinating interview. Way, way too much Hillman, resulting in way too little Leadon. Only two minutes on the Eagles, who did so much to commercialize and popularize the country rock genre.

@wongnaichungrd 3 ай бұрын

That’s more the dynamics of the conversation. Ultimately though The Byrds and Burrito’s were more innovative in a creative sense, rather than a commercial, than The Eagles.

@flyingburritobro68 3 ай бұрын

The Eagles are actually looked down upon by true country rock players. Gram hated them and felt they were watered down sell outs

The Gram story has been told so much that Chris is probably tired of it. He also always felt overshadowed by Parsons and didn’t seem to get proper credit as co-leader of the Burritos

@@flyingburritobro68 Chris's feelings about Gram seem to be very complex; a mixture of anger, admiration, and sorrow. He did say it was hard to stay angry with Gram for long. Gram said he wanted Chris to sing more lead vocals but he wouldn't.
