The album, produced by Gary Usher, featured innovative textures like brass instruments and reverse tape effects, with bassist Chris Hillman emerging as a key songwriter, contributing four solo compositions and co-writing the hit single \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eSo You Want to Be a Rock 'n' Roll Star\u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003e (Billboard Hot 100 No. 29).
