Time Between by Chris Hillman


 This is the memoir of legendary American singer-songwriter and musician as well as founding member of legendary American rock groups the Byrds and the Flying Burrito Brothers Chris Hillman  and in this book he talks about his upbringing in Southern California, getting his first guitar at 15, his father's suicide, playing in the Scottsville Squirrel Barkers, The Golden State Boys and the Green Grass Group, formed the Byrds in 1964 which he would be with them until 1968 and would have great success with classics including Mr Tambourine Man, Turn Turn Turn, Eight Miles High, So You Want To Be A Rock and Roll Star as well as the behind the scenes , formed the Flying Burrito Brothers with Gram Parsons in 1968, playing with Stephen Stills in Manassas as well as playing in Souther Hillman Furay Band, great success with the Desert Rose Band in the 80's, becoming an Christian, his solo work and many others. It's FANTASTIC, BRILLIANT and SUPERB with funny, sad, entertaining and impressive and an FANTASTIC read  about an true legend of music  who had been in successful groups  and still going strong. Chris Hillman is the second member of the Byrds to write an memoir as David Crosby has written 2 Long Time Gone and Since Then How I Survived Everything and Lived To Tell About It. It's an must for fans of 60's music as well as fans of the Byrds and the Flying Burrito Brothers and I give it 5 stars which it's in the shops now so do yourselves an favour and BUY IT which you will be impressed and amazed.
