The original 1970 Together Records LP vinyl album The Hillmen has been released in various forms. Recorded and produced in 1964 by Jim Dickson (Dillards, Byrds, Flying Burrito Bros., Gene Clark), Vern and Rex Gosdin, Don Parmley and a pre-Byrds Chris Hillman known as The Hillmen broke new ground or in this case, new grass, by recording not only original Gosdin songs but Bob Dylan as well.
This CD release sees the original artwork restored including the reproduction of the original full color Together Records disc label. The album features all the original songs from that vinyl LP and additional tracks from the later compact disc release, a total of 15 songs.
The Gosdins' With These Chains, missing on those subsequent vinyl and CD releases has now been restored and other bonus track has never before released in any form, the instrumental, Salt Creek.
Add in a folded insert with song lyrics and many never before seen photographs of the band, this is indeed a special limited collectors edition of a seminal album in the history of country, bluegrass and rock..
