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.

      Hillman, a founding member of the Byrds, shares his passion for making music in this poignant but underwhelming memoir. Born and raised in rural Southern California, Hillman had an idyllic 1950s childhood that later inspired him to develop the mixture of country, rock, and folk music the Byrds pioneered. The narrative trudges dutifully from one phase of his life to the next as Hillman describes how his love of folk and bluegrass led him to a spot in his first band, the Scottsville Squirrel Barkers. Then, in the mid-1960s, he joined forces with Jim McGuinn, Gene Clark, and David Crosby to form the Byrds. He and Gram Parsons, a musician who had flitted through the Byrds for one album, started the Burrito Brothers in 1968, cowriting classics such as “Sin City.” Finally, in 1998, after surviving kidney failure, Hillman wrote his first solo album, which Tom Petty produced in 2017. Readers looking for gossip or an inside scoop may be disappointed, as the narrative is a broad chronological overview without any dramatic reveals. Though Hillman’s fans will love his book, this memoir’s appeal will not extend far outside of that circle.
