Review by Dante Monteverde

The Asylum Years, the 2003 album by Chris Hillman, showcases the artist's impressive musical range and versatility. The album features a mix of original compositions and covers, all of which are performed with Hillman's signature blend of traditional country, rock, and bluegrass.

One standout track on the album is "Step on Out," a lively and upbeat tune that showcases Hillman's impressive guitar skills. Another highlight is "Drifting," a melancholy ballad that showcases Hillman's emotive vocals and poignant songwriting.

Throughout the album, Hillman's bandmates provide excellent support, with standout performances by guitarist Herb Pedersen and fiddler Stuart Duncan. The production is clean and polished, allowing Hillman's vocals and instrumental work to shine.
