## Description

Chris Hillman co-founded some of the most classic, seminal, groundbreaking acts of the ’60s and ’70s including The Byrds, The Flying Burrito Brothers, Manassas, and The Souther-Hillman-Furay Band. But, in the mid 1970s, Hillman decided it was time to try things on his own. 1976 brought Slippin’ Away, the musical journeyman’s first solo release. Produced by renowned engineers Ron and Howard Albert (Derek And The Dominoes, Allman Bros., Jimi Hendrix), it was a star-studded affair, featuring members of Booker T. & The M.G.’s, Poco, Buffalo Springfield, The Turtles, and ace studio musicians. Hillman took his place as front-man, and the results were the epitome of the classic ’70s LA sound. He returned the following year with Clear Sailin’, which saw him dial back the flashy supporting cast for a more traditional release—much like the iconic music he had created in his early years with The Byrds and Burritos. For Clear Sailin’ Hillman assembled a core band with production helmed by Jim Mascon (Poco, Firefall). A number of songs feature co-writes with Crawdaddy magazine’s founder, Peter Knobler. Hot on the heels of his 2017 critically acclaimed album (produced by Tom Petty), The Asylum Years presents both of those ’70s albums on one compact disc, with an essay from Scott Schinder, featuring a new interview with Hillman. Having been a catalyst and innovator on the musical landscape for decades, The Asylum Years sees this byrd take flight.

    Chris Hillman's first steps to a solo career
  

*by B***S on Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2018*

Chris Hillman's first two solo efforts after being a secret weapon-type player in the Byrds, the Burritos, Manassas, and the fan embraced, critic rejected singer/songwriter super-group the Souther Hillman Furay Band.  These two albums (Slippin' Away and Smooth Sailin') were proof positive that Chris was more than ready to step out front to lead his own band.  From Slippin' Away, "Step on Out" foreshadows his later country-rock success with the Desert Rose Band; "Witching Hour" does right by his association with Stephen Stills & Manassas, and "(Take Me in Your) Lifeboat" is a lively harmony-laden bit of bluegrass.  Clear Sailin' is a bit more (over?) produced but also has its share of highlights, including a terrific cover of Danny O'Keefe's "Quits," an interesting take on the old Marvin Gaye Motown hit "Ain't That Peculiar," and the lovely title track and album closer, a Chris Hillman-Rick Roberts co-write.

    I have always felt "Slippin' Away" was one of the best and most overlooked albums of the 70's
  

*by E***. on Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2018*

A "package" CD, combining the albums "Slippin' Away" and "Clear Sailin'". Since its original release, I have always felt "Slippin' Away" was one of the best and most overlooked albums of the 70's. It is a classic that few folks are even aware of. His Buffalo Springfield and Manassas roots run deep throughout this incredible work; not one bad cut. I would have given this CD 5 stars but unfortunately, "Clear Sailin" doesn't quite measure up to its predecessor. In the liner notes, even Chris admitted it wasn't as good as he was hoping for, but it still offers some very good cuts. Yet, the cost of this CD doesn't even come close to the worth and value of the great work found within "Slippin' Away". Do yourself a favor - treat yourself to one incredible album that you probably didn't even know existed. You'll be so glad you did.

    Two Outstanding Albums On One CD
  

*by B***R on Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2021*

It's easy to forget -- between his work with the Byrds and the Flying Burrito Brothers before, and the Desert Rose Band after -- just how fine Chris Hillman's two mid-1970s country-rock albums for Asylum were. This CD popped up as a potential item for me and I grabbed it up, and am I glad I did! The playing and singing are superb, and while Hillman's second album isn't quite as good as his first, they both make for delightful listening 40 years on, full of good songs and great playing. And it now seems obvious that Hillman was generating superior to solo work to that of his ex-bandmate Roger McGuinn during the 1970s.
