Tom Petty is producing an album by former Byrd and Flying Burrito Brother Chris HIllman. It is set for a September 22 release and is Hillman’s first studio album in more than a decade. Bidin’ My Time is set to be released on Rounder Records.
Early listen? The teaser sounds like Tom Petty indulged himself in his love of the Byrds.(No surprise, considering the comparisons that were made between early and mid-career Petty and the legendary 60’s group.). The promo video actually shows Petty band members in the recording studio with Hillman
Guest musicians include former Byrds David Crosby and Roger McGuinn. Hillman also recruits members of the Desert Rose Band (Herb Pedersen, John Jorgenson, Jay Dee Maness) to play. Hillman recorded seven top 10 country hits with the DRB in the late 80’s.
