    The Byrds were musical pioneers and a great albumproducing band, but they were also masters of the form in terms of singles. At the time of The Byrds' formation, singles were still king, and it was the only way for a band to make an impact. The Byrds put out singles from the start with "Mr. Tambourine Man," a consciousnessraising track recorded in late 1964. Aside from the incredible fusion of folk and rock, Original Singles, Vol. 1 (19651967) has a real sound to it. Part of this has to do with producer Terry Melcher's excellent production blending the Beach Boys' "Don't Worry, Baby" with elements of the Beatles. Through tracks like "Turn, Turn, Turn," "Feel a Whole Lot Better," "Eight Miles High," "So You Want to Be a Rock Roll Star," and numerous others including Bsides The Byrds showed themselves able to encapsulate their complete musical direction in two hit singles. A rare feat indeed.

Biography

Byrds

Although they only attained the huge success of the Beatles, Rolling Stones, and the Beach Boys for a short time in the mid'60s, time has judged the Byrds to be nearly as influential as those groups in the long run. They were not solely responsible for devising folkrock, but they were certainly more responsible than any other single act (Dylan included) for melding the ... Read more
