Dwight Yoakam described Chris Hillman’s show as “a fascinating musical journey to take with him and his guest through their discussions and insights about the foundational beginnings and evolution of California’s Country-Rock in becoming such a profound piece of the world’s musical lexicon.”

Yoakam continued, “Chris Hillman proved to be a Kit Carson-like California musical frontiersman and pathfinder that all of us who have subsequently followed in modern country and country-rock music used as a crucial navigational beacon to track toward our own musical destinies.”
