About this album

Slippin' Away is a strong country-rock statement from Chris Hillman, showing the Byrds and Flying Burrito Brothers veteran refining his solo identity in 1976. Built on easygoing melodies, close harmonies and a laid-back but disciplined band sound, the album sits squarely between country tradition and the smoother end of 1970s rock. Hillman's songwriting and interpretive style give the record a steady emotional centre, while the title track and 'Step On Out' underline his gift for turning plainspoken country feeling into polished pop craft. It stands as one of his most convincing solo-era releases and a fine example of the genre's crossover appeal.
