1998-SUGAR HILL
Produced By RITCHIE POLODOR
1. Back’s Against The Wall
2. Angel’s Cry
3. Sooner Or Later
4. Carry Me Home
5. Run Again
6. Second Wind
7. When You Walk In The Room
8. Like A Hurricane
9. Living On The Edge
10. Forgiveness
11. I’m Still Alive
12. Heaven’s Lullaby
The importance of Chris Hillman in the world of alternate country cannot be overstated. He was an original member of The Byrds, and stuck around long enough to play during the short Gram Parsons era. He then left to join up with Parsons in The Flying Burrito Brothers. Hillman has also played with the Desert Rose Band, The Souther-Hillman-Furay Band, and Manassas. All were a big part of the evolution of country rock, and Hillman was right at the center. So it’s easy to overlook the fact that he somehow found the time to release six solo albums as well. Like A Hurricane (no relation to the Neil Young song) is his fifth album, and may be the best of the group.
Like A Hurricane is by no means perfect: it get a little bit sleepy and a little bit too twangy at times. But the highs on this album make it worth having. “I’m Still Alive” (with David Crosby singing along) is a great song. “Angel’s Cry” and “Run Again” are also fine. The playing is excellent throughout, and of course it’s great vocally as well. It’s about 4 better songs from being great, but if you appreciate Hillman, you’ll definitely like this album,. The best of his solo work. [First added to this chart: 11/27/2012]

Including "The Masterplan" is a good idea.
