Chris Hillman co-founded the Byrds, the Flying Burrito Brothers, Manassas, and the Souther-Hillman-Furay Band. 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. It was a star-studded affair, featuring members of Booker T. & The M.G.’s, Poco, Buffalo Springfield, the Turtles, and more. 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.
