Ever Call Ready is one of Chris Hillman's lesser-known, and under-appreciated projects. Formed in 1985, the group featured fellow Flying Burrito Brothers alumni Bernie Leadon (on acoustic guitar) and Al Perkins (on Dobro), plus fiddler David Mansfield and bassist Jerry Scheff,
The music was focussed on inspirational and gospel tunes from several eras, set against a Bluegrass backdrop. Four-part vocal harmonies, with either Hillman or Leadon taking most of the lead vocal duties, along with excellent, but understated musicianship should have resulted in a much higher profile for this short-lived outfit.
