| | The Byrds - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Bridging the gap between the socially and spiritually conscious folk music of Bob Dylan and the complex pop of The Beatles, The Byrds are considered one of the most important and influential bands of the 1960s. | | | Clark, Clarke, Crosby, and Hillman all briefly rejoined in late 1972 to cut the anti-climactic reunion album Byrds before the group was officially dissolved by McGuinn in 1973. | | | They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and several band members have launched successful solo careers after leaving the group. |

| | The History of Rock Music. Byrds: biography, discography, reviews, links |
| | "Byrds" is actually the name of three different bands: the band that linked Dylan with the Merseybeat, the band that initiated spatial-psychedelic rock, and the band that dove into country-rock. | | | This record is the Byrd's most compelling and most meaningful artistic contribution to the music of their time. | | | Notorious Byrd Brothers (1968) was still an eccentric hodgepodge of acid-rock, raga-rock, pop and country, but Sweetheart Of The Rodeo (1968) is one of the two albums credited with inventing country-rock. |

| | Adrian's Album Reviews : The Byrds |
| | Of all the byrds albums i own they are all the re-issues with bonus tracks. | | | Put another way, it sucks as a BYRDS album, but it merely would be a mediocre album if another band released it. | | | The Byrds were of course heavily influenced by The Beatles at this stage in their career. |

| | After that the Byrds were allowed to record more singles and albums. | | | This, then unknown folk flavored song, was recorded by the Byrds in January of 1965, (see contract) and had reached No. 1 on the Billboard charts before Dylan shocked the folk community later that year by plugging in at the Newport Folk festival. | | | The sound the Byrds created with "Jingle Jangle" guitars and vocal harmonies continues to be heard in new bands all over the world, coming out of garages and onto the pop charts. |

| | The Byrds |
| | The Byrds with their six string electric guitar sound really paved the way for future jangly guitar bands and folk rock bands with its distinctive American sound. | | | Unsurprisingly, this was the album that saw the Byrds quickly falling apart as a band. | | | Most of it sounds nice enough to make this album a pleasant listen, but the fact is that it's a total misstep in the band's career and a rather boring and unmemorable release. |

| | The Byrds |
| | There is little point to pushing the Byrds as progenitors of a music that already existed, no matter how well they emulated it (reference points being the Dillards, Merle Haggard, early rockabilly, and the country elements found in many standard 60’s folk albums). | | | The Byrds adhered so closely to the country/bluegrass format that they are virtually just another country/bluegrass band, albeit one with good taste and heavy drums. | | | Bob Dylan witnessed the Byrds’ recording sessions in January of 1965 and in June released Bringing It All Back Home which offered up several electrified folk-tinged rock and roll songs. |

| | THE BYRDS / SWEETHEART OF THE RODEO |
| | Fans of the Byrds' psychedelic brand of folk-rock were left baffled by the band's sudden about face in the direction of country music on Sweetheart of the Rodeo. | | | The catalyst in the birth of the new Byrds sound was the addition of Southern-born singer-songwriter Gram Parsons, who replaced David Crosby on vocals and guitar. | | | It's funny, but hearing the Byrds sing such straight-faced versions of "I Like The Christian Life" is akin to watching the honky-tonk bar scene from "The Blues Brothers," where Belushi and Akroid take a pretty damn good stab at country music with their inspired cover of Rawhide. |

| | By the time this was released, the "Byrds" consisted of Hillman and McGuinn, who had had the poor taste to reject two of Crosby's best songs for inclusion on this album: the brassy A-side "Lady Friend," and the brilliantly perverse "Triad," re-recorded the same year by the Jefferson Airplane. | | | Clark quit just as the Byrds began work on their third album; it had little effect on their sound but pulled the rug out from under their gang of songwriters. | | | Everyone knows about the Byrds' electrified take on Dylan; Clark is forgotten now, but was an excellent, if somewhat derivative songwriter (too often he merely ripped off the Beatles). |

| | The song was banned from the radio…unheard of at a time when the Beatles were still singing about “we can work it out”, and marked the end of the Byrds as a pop band. | | | It is essentially a compilation album featuring some of the better known recordings from the first 4 albums. | | | Years later, a pirate version of the song was released with a more raw and frantic sound. |

| | The biggest news for Byrds fans is, of course, that the Gene Clark songs are totally on par with the tracks he contributed in his first stint with the band, both filled with perfect guitar-pop melodies (though mostly based around acoustic guitars instead of electric, which I guess angered a bunch of fans, whatever). | | | And I'm sure that many people outside the WRC who listen to the albums of the Beatles, Stones, etc, have never even listened to a Byrds album. | | | So that's it for the album and the band. |

| | By the time the Byrds began recording their fifth album, "The Notorious Byrd Brothers," the band was already "in transition" -- that is to say, falling apart. | | | The Byrds have been a positive influence in rock, one that can still be felt in the music of Tom Petty, REM, the Gin Blossoms and Wilco. | | | "Dr. Byrds" was the band's lowest charting album to date, and small wonder: Performing the medley "My Back Pages/B.J. Blues/Baby What You Want Me to Do," the Byrds sound like a bar band taking orders from the audience. |

| | The Byrds |
| | During their best years the Byrds couldn't be categorised or pigeonholed; the only label you could slap on them was that they represented "Americana", in stark contrast to the Beatles or those bands, both British and American, that kept staring into the Beatles' mouths for too long. | | | And finally, now that the Byrds arguably had their most professional and tight lineup in history, it was finally time to release a live album. | | | This is especially uncomfortable since the Byrds had always rode on the back of revolution - their albums were always more notorious for their radical musical ideas, rather than the actual songwriting. |

| | Unless of course, you're hoping for a slack, ugly Byrds live album, in which case this is a much, much cleaner and tighter live album than you'd expect from the Dead Kennedys. | | | The first four Byrds albums should all be in your collection if you like '60s rock at all. | | | Funny, those Byrds, because the original lineup wasn't known for being a good live band, yet most of their studio work didn't have a lot of overdubs or production--just those harmonies, jangly guitars, bass and drums. |

| | This is not the place to begin a collection of Byrds music - or even a collection of their albums - but is a fascinating album that you will appreciate if you enjoy the diversity of material and styles. | | | The Byrds' version of this much-covered song is the best ever recorded (next to Dylan & The Band's "Basement Tapes" version, and The Band's solo version). | | | After the disintegration of the original Byrds line-up, and a transitional country-rock album that was hated at least by the hardcore country-western music population, Roger McGuinn could hardly be blamed if he was found in a bad mood. |

| | George Harrison admitted that "If I Needed Someone" was his take on the Byrds' "The Bells of Rhymney." The Byrds were the only American group that the Beatles were friendly with and had a dialogue with. | | | All of folk rock -- for lack of a better term -- descends directly from the music the Byrds made. | | | In the beginning, that was the original blueprint for the Heartbreakers -- we wanted to be a mix of the Byrds and the Stones. |

| | The Byrds : Sweetheart of the Rodeo ---Ink Blot Magazine |
| | Blending Dylan's folk with The Beatles' energetic rock, The Byrds (essentially Roger McGuinn, David Crosby, Gene Clark, and Chris Hillman)influenced scores of bands to follow. | | | Adding country and folk influences to their music made them one of the first "roots-rock" bands to make an impact. | | | Also included are covers of Woody Guthrie's "Pretty Boy Floyd" and Merle Haggard's "Life in Prison." Buttressed by a cadre of Nashville studio aces and inspired by Parsons' vision, The Byrds turned out a landmark album that's had a lasting influence on any musician who likes a dose of twang in their rock. |

| | Featuring strong original work and covers of songs by the Byrds and the Beatles, the album was a musical and critical success. | | | Anderson and Squire had met while both were in other bands and got an idea to play music with "vocal harmony backed by strong instrumentation." Yes were soon formed and in 1969 released their self-titled debut. | | | This was followed in 1970 by Time and a Word, which made use of orchestral backing. |
