The Souther-Hillman-Furay Band was a short-lived American country rock group formed in 1973. The band consisted of three well-known musicians, J.D. Souther, Chris Hillman, and Richie Furay, who had previously played with prominent bands such as the Eagles, Buffalo Springfield, and Poco. The group released their self-titled debut album in 1974, which was met with critical acclaim and moderate commercial success. The album included hits such as "Fallin' in Love" and "Safe at Home," both of which received significant airplay on radio stations across the United States. Despite their initial success, the band's subsequent albums failed to gain the same level of popularity, and they disbanded in 1975 after releasing their second album, "Trouble in Paradise." The Souther-Hillman-Furay Band's sound was characterized by its fusion of country, rock, and folk music, which was a popular genre during the 1970s. The band's members were known for their exceptional songwriting skills, with J.D. Souther and Richie Furay penning most of the group's original material. Although the band was short-lived, their influence on the country rock genre was significant. The Souther-Hillman-Furay Band I (1974 - 1975)
The Souther-Hillman-Furay Band II (1975 - 1976)
