The Hillmen were a bluegrass-styled combo that featured
Chris Hillman,
Don Parmley,
Vern Gosdin, and Rex Gosdin. Based in Southern California, the short-lived group was an early player in that state's burgeoning bluegrass and country movement. The group made a series of recordings between 1963 and 1964;
Hillman eventually left to join
the Byrds while
Parmley went to
Bluegrass Cardinals,
Vern Gosdin pursued a career as a country crooner, and his brother Rex became a country songwriter. In 1995, Sugar Hill released the definitive
Hillmen retrospective. ~ Johnny Loftus
