Free Music Review: The Byrds, a Jingle-Jangle Season
Hit: 5 Stars
It was the summer of 1965 and I remember hearing that marvelous, jangling, chiming guitar, and those heretofore unheard harmonies coming out of little radio speakers dialed to the local AM top-40 stations. Pop music was dominated by the likes of the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Kinks, Gerry and the Pacemakers and many more such groups. The time has subsequently been dubbed as "The British Invasion." It seemed that Great Britain was the place to look toward for good rock'n'roll. Such an irony! An American form of music was being recreated, reinterpreted, and exported back to the land of its birth.
And here were the Byrds singing Bob Dylan's hobo anthem "Mr. Tambourine Man." No one hit wonders, they soon followed up with "Turn, Turn, Turn", and another Dylan cover "All I Really Want To Do." At last, it was America's answer to the Beatles. And the Byrds were no less a pioneering rock group, mining folk music, and later country music all with Roger McGuinn's signature Rickenbacker twelve string guitar. This boxed set "There Is A Season" documents their entire career from their formation and early recording sessions in 1964 to an attempted reunion in 1990. It's all here, folk-rock, country-rock, psychedelic-rock, raga-rock, and back again. Buy this record, you'll be glad you did.

Free Music Review: They Put The Jingle-Jangle In Mr Tamborine Man
Hit: 5 Stars
It's just about impossible to overstate the influence The Byrds had on contemporary pop music in the sixties and early seventies. After putting the tweleve string jingle-jangle into Bob Dylan's Mr Tamborine Man, one could hear that sound clear across the Atlantic as The Beatles, particularly George Harrison picked up on it on Rubber Soul. Listen to Harrison's composition If I Needed Someone and you can't help but think of The Byrds. The love affair continued on into Revolver. The Lennon/McCartney song And Your Bird Can Sing owes a debt to Roger McGuinn's It Won't Be Wrong. Listen to George Harrison's compostions I Want To Tell You and Taxman, both are indelibly stamped with The Byrds signature tweleve string sound.
The influence dosen't end with The Beatles. It continued to be felt and heard by everyone from Van Morrison on Brown Eyed Girl to Donovan's Sunshine Superman to The Kinks A Well Respected Man and The Turtles I Only Want To Be With You and eventually back to Dylan himself as he embarked on his classic Nashville Skyline album. And the most obvious Byrd devotee Tom Petty kicked off his career with An American Girl, a song that many thought actually was recorded by The Byrds.
This box set gives both first time listener and Byrd afficianado an in-depth overview of their vast and varied body of work. From their PreFlight orgins to their folk-rock emergance of Mr. Tamborine Man and Turn Turn Turn to the raga-rock thunder of Eight Miles High and Fifth Diminsion to the Nashville West incarnation of Sweetheart of The Rodeo and Dr Byrds & Mr Hyde. It's all here. Listen and think back to the days when McGuinn and company were blazing a new path and so many were born to follow.
