Chris Hillman- At Edwards Barn

At Edwards Barn
Chris and Herb present a wonderful cross section of Chris' vast catalog going back to The Byrds, The Flying Burrito Brothers, The Desert Rose Band and his solo career. If you removed the audience interaction it would be difficult to recognize this as a live concert. Herb and Chris are in total sync instrumentally and vocally. I've always been partial to Chris' music and have been following him since his Byrds days. There is such honesty and peace in his music. The whole album is terrific, but be sure to listen to "Have You Seen Her Face", one of Chris' early songwriting efforts with the Byrds, and Herb's "Wait a Minute" as well as their presentation of the Buck Owens classic "Together Again" if you need to be convinced. For those who may be new to this duo, they have done several albums together and a couple more with the Rice Brothers. It's all very good.
