If you look at the portrait photo of Chris Hillman in the inner cover of his new album, you can see a handsome man resting in himself with thick white-grey hair and walrus schnauzer. The beloved guitar is enthroned on his lap. The country rock legend, who turns seventy-three years old on the fourth of December, uses the record to take stock of her exciting musical career, which began in the early sixties. On "Bidin' My Time" long-term buddies Hillmans meet David Crosby, Roger McGuinn and the Heartbreakers. Their boss Tom Petty, who died in October, produced the record. In the interview, Hillman shares his views on friendship and death. And about US politics in times of Donald Trump.
eclipsed: On your new album you reinterpret "She Don't Care About Time" with Roger McGuinn and David Crosby, and with "Here She Comes Again" you record for the first time a title you wrote with McGuinn in 1979. So can we speak of a kind of Byrds reunion on this record?
