 | Live at Royal Albert Hall 1971 [Read More ...]
Description: From their earliest days as 12-string-wielding folk-rockers, to the thrilling psychedelic excursions of their raga-rock period to their 1968 birthing of country-rock, the Byrds were always accorded a hero's welcome in England. What better place to record founding Byrds member/gui... |
 | The Byrds - Greatest Hits [Read More ...]
Description: The 12-string electric guitar may never recover. As long as there are baby boomers roaming the earth, its airy jangle will signify psychedelic innocence and optimism refracted through the peculiar light of mid-'60s Los Angeles. With Roger McGuinn leading, the Byrds kicked off Ame... |

 | There Is a Season [Read More ...]
Description: A newcomer to the musical progression and legacy of the Byrds could hardly expect to find a better crash course than this: four discs with 99 songs, a DVD of ten previously unissued television performances, extensive annotation. Yet longtime fans of the band might wonder what the... |
 | The Essential Byrds [Read More ...]
Review: The Best Byrds Collection:THE ESSENTIAL BYRDS is the best collection of Byrds material available. With GREATEST HITS and BEST OF, VOL. 2 not making the most of the space available on CD, and both of the boxed sets containing way too much mediocre material to wade through, this an... |
 | The Byrds Untitled [Read More ...]
Description: Arguably the last truly great album from the Byrds, this was a double vinyl set when it appeared in 1970. The 16-minute "Eight Miles High" took up an entire side--allowing for plenty of the free-flowing guitar, bass, and drum solos that were in vogue at the time. The live portion... |
 | Younger Than Yesterday [Read More ...]
Description: Four of the five original Byrds were aboard for this folk-rock landmark. Within months of its release in the summer of 1967, David Crosby would move on and the group would enter a permanent period of flux. Younger Than Yesterday, however, finds songwriters Crosby, Roger McGuinn, ... |

 | Turn! Turn! Turn! [Read More ...]
Description: Arriving just months after the folk-rock call to arms of their brilliant debut, the Byrds' second album closely follows the same formula, but what a formula: durable American folksongs (from Pete Seeger, Bob Dylan, and even Stephen Foster) and their own strong originals are laced... |
 | The Byrds Play Dylan [Read More ...]
Description: As a historical document, this record is priceless. Just as some parents are wont to gauge their children's development by posing them yearly with a department-store Santa Clause, fans can witness both the development of this seminal Southern California band and the evolution of ... |
 | Byrds [Read More ...]
Description: The original five members of the Byrds reunited in 1972 for this one time album. Those original members were David Crosby, Roger McGuinn, Gene Clark, Chris Hillman & Michael Clarke. This album actually became the Byrds fourth highest charting album hitting #20 on the Billboard ... |
 | The American Metaphysical Circus [Read More ...]
Description: 2007 digitally remastered and repackaged edition of the 1969 album from Joe Byrd & The Field Hippies. Joe Byrd was originally the main man behind The United States Of America, one of Rock's most underappreciated cult bands. American Metaphysical Circus was Joe's follow-up to the... |
 | 20 Essential Tracks from the Boxed Set: 1965-90 [Read More ...]
Description: During the '60s, the Byrds were one of the consistently interesting groups that expanded and changed their sound with nearly every record. This 20 track sampler of the admirable 4-CD boxed set features a good chunk of what made the Byrds an impressive bunch. From the first chimin... |

 | The Notorious Byrd Brothers [Read More ...]
Description: The Notorious Byrd Brothers captures the Byrds between the seminal folk-rock glories of their better-known mid-'60s triumphs and the equally influential country-rock that would soon follow, but the album is no holding action: with onetime Beach Boy associate Gary Usher producing ... |
 | Ballad of Easy Rider [Read More ...]
My Favorite:Program this to play side two first (Jesus-Armstrong) THEN proceed to ballad-Jack Tarr. Better sequence!
I love this album. The first Byrds album I heard--hooked for life!
