It's a cozy sound, one that feels as intimate as a front porch but is delivered with the precision of seasoned pros, and having old tunes -- including sweet covers of the Everly Brothers ' "Walk Right Back" and Tom Petty 's "Wildflowers" -- threaded in between the excellent new tunes from Hillman helps make Bidin' My Time feel like an understated summation of everything Hillman 's accomplished in his long, varied career.

Tom loves music and has such great instincts.
He was a joy to work with and offered up some wonderful ideas throughout the recording. I was truly honored to have him in my corner. Was all of the absolutely new Hillman material written ahead of time—or was some of it written for the album once Tom Petty got on board and you realized it was really happening? Three months later, Hillman followed suit and joined Parsons as a vocalist and guitarist in the re-formed Flying Burrito Brothers along with bassist Chris Ethridge, pedal steel player "Sneaky" Pete Kleinow, and drummer Jon Corneal.
Further honing their hybrid sound by combining the energy and instrumentation of rock with the issues and themes of country, the Burritos recorded the landmark Gilded Palace of Sin, followed in by Burrito Deluxe. After Parsons left the group in , Hillman stayed on for two less successful records, a self-titled effort and the following year's Last of the Red Hot Burritos.
After they disbanded, Hillman joined Stephen Stills' Manassas, where he remained until , when he briefly rejoined the Byrds. Two years later, he released Desert Rose, which contained the minor country hits "Somebody's Back in Town" and "Running the Roadblocks. The Desert Rose Band proved to be Hillman's most commercially successful post-Byrds project; their first LP, an eponymously titled outing, generated a pair of Top Ten country hits in "Love Reunited" and "One Step Forward," which peaked at number two.

In , they appeared at a tribute to the late Roy Orbison, performing "Mr. Tambourine Man" along with the song's composer, Bob Dylan. The same year, the Byrds cut four new songs for inclusion in a career-spanning box set and in were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Like a Hurricane followed in After a short hiatus, Hillman returned in with Way Out West, a sprawling track collection of country, roots rock, Americana, and folk that reunited the artist with Pedersen and the Desert Rose Band.
