Description

Trouble in Paradise is the sophomore and final album by the American country rock combo The Souther-Hillman-Furay Band, released on Asylum Records in 1975. The album was produced by Tom Dowd.

The Souther-Hillman-Furay Band was a country rock supergroup pulled together by Elektra/Asylum supremo David Geffen. The band was fronted by three noted singers/songwriters, Richie Furay (of Buffalo Springfield and Poco fame), Chris Hillman (of The Byrds, The Flying Burrito Brothers, and Manassas fame), and J.D. Souther (of Longbranch Pennywhistle fame, and also a noted songwriter for Linda Ronstadt and The Eagles). As well featuring ace musicians Al Perkins (guitar, pedal steel, dobro), Paul Harris (keyboards, flute), Jim Gordon (drums, 1973–74) and Ron Grinel (drums, 1975–76), and Joe Lala (percussion).

During the recording of their sophomore album, Trouble in Paradise, influenced by band member Al Perkins, Richie Furay converted to Christianity. Furay’s two compositions on this album, “For Someone I Love” and “On The Line”, were dominated by his recent conversion to Christianity. Soon after the album release, the group disbanded and its namesake members continued on their solo careers.
