John Jorgenson on guitar leads, Herb Peterson on flattop and harmony, Hillman on lead vocal, lead writer,lead arrogance, etc...BTW Jorgenson sang the high harmony on this.
They were active from 1987 to 1993.By the beginning of 1994,Hillman saddened by the passing of his close friends and band members,Gene Clark and Michael Clark,and wishing to spend more time with his family and watching his children grow,decided to call it a day for The Desert Rose Band.
Mythical beauty in a song.....it just reaches down into your soul...amazing talent in lyrics, and setting it to music. Need them back. Life changes things. At least we had them for a too short career, BUT, at least we had them!!!
Classy group.....classy song. These guys were really popular for a little while but they faded away far too soon and I've never understood why. Nice to see them again.
I spent 5 plus years as a country music Disc Jockey. Summer Wind by the Desert Rose Band in my opinion is the best country song ever. To me only Roseanne Cash has a tune a tune close to the quality of the Desert Rose Band. This tune spent a lot of time at number 2 on the charts. It is the best country song i have ever heard.
@RosyB9 The are all back together and touring. I saw them a few weeks ago and it sounds like no time has past. The current tour has been so successful that they are going to tour on a regular basis. Catch them when you can.
Country music today is crap compared to this. Its just sad.

@WarriorWrester2010 I love both of the artists you mentioned. May I ask, which RC song?

I remember when this band hit the charts.
I always felt they were underrated. Excellent sound and harmony. Much better that "Girt" Brooks could ever imagine being.
