Hit City Winery Nashville at the Same Time!

L to R: John Jorgenson, Chris Hillman, Herb Pedersen

WE JUST HAD A FEELING that this was going to be a huge night! It was! A dream-come-true doesn't happen often, but when it does, you just buy the tickets and haul your freight to City Winery Nashville. Aging rockers, aging bluegrass fans, and younger ones of all ages will not forget this night. Here be legends of rock, country, and bluegrass!

L to R: John Jorgenson, Chris Hillman, Herb Pedersen

Remember Chris Hillman with the Byrds? Flying Burrito Brothers? The Desert Rose Band? Remember Herb Pedersen with The Desert Rose Band and The Dillards? Monster talents John Jorgenson and Mike Bub were already in town and they rounded out the most splendid night of rock and bluegrass memories ever to appear on that stage or any. These four pals from the '60s to the present made music like no time had gone by at all! Guitars galore, mandolins, a piano, and one spot-on upright bass filled the room with the best music ever!

Here is what we heard and it's still playing in my head as I type: The Bells of Rhymney (Pete Seeger cover), Bidin' My Time, Love Reunited, Turn! Turn! Turn! (Ecclesiastes 3, King Solomon), Given All I Can See (Mercy and Grace), If I Could Only Win Your Love (Louvin Brothers cover), Walk Right Back (Everly Brothers cover), Wheels (Gram Parsons and Chris Hillman), She Don't Care About Time (by Byrds bandmate Gene Clark, 1964-65), Eight Miles High, Set You Free This Time (Gene Clark song, John Jorgenson vocal), When I Get a Little Money, She Sang Hymns Out of Tune (Herb Pedersen vocal), Different Rivers, Wildflowers (Tom Petty cover), I'm Restless, Hey Boys (Herb Pedersen vocal), Together Again (Buck Owens cover), Such Is the World We Live In (Tribute to Chris Hillman's grandfather and great-grandfather), Wait a Minute (not John Duffey...Herb Pedersen [vocal] wrote it), Here She Comes Again, and Encore: Rank Strangers (The Stanley Brothers cover). Have mercy on my soul! What a divine night! Catch Chris, Herb, John, and Mike any time they get within 150 miles of you! It's worth the drive and the money!
