Free Music Review: A time to be good, a time to be better...
Hit: 5 Stars
Once again I find myself re-assessing a Byrds album (see my lengthy review of "Fifth Dimension"). This review will be a little shorter, but just as necessary. I consider it important to stress the point that after "Mr. Tambourine Man", which I consider a masterpiece of pop-rock art, any album would have paled in comparison. So it was with "Turn Turn Turn". My feeling at the time was that The Byrds were still cool, and the album was good, but not quite good enough. But from the perspective of the present, and with the excellent sound, I have to say that, like "5D", I now consider this a 5-star album too. Of course, I had no problem with the very inspirational and timely title song. And I really liked "The World Turns All Around Her" and "It Won't Be Wrong". But I believe that I was too young in 1965 to appreciate the soulful "Set You Free This Time", the country-inspired "Satisfied Mind", and the slightly ominous tone of "If You're Gone", and even Dylan's "Lay Down Your Weary Tune". The bonus tracks are part of the improvement too. In one of them, "She Don't Care About Time", The Byrds are outlining a new role model for young 60's females; the meaning comes across, and the track rocks. (Of the 2 versions, I prefer the first, track 13, because it sounds thicker, heavier; however, the other version has that sneaky little Stones "Satisfaction" riff lurking among all the Byrd noises!) The bonus track of "The Times They Are A-Changin" is better (in my opinion) than the one included on the original album. "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue" shows how they could mold a Dylan tune and make it their own, even with Dylan's own masterful version to be compared to. Another bonus track, "The Day Walk", is very different from any other Byrds track up to that time. They sing in a lower, earthier register than usual, and the instrumentation, especially the bass line, has more to do with older rock and soul than with folk-rock. So once again, like "5D", I am enjoying (and understanding) a Byrds album more now than when it was new. Maybe it's just because both of them finally sound as they should have sounded in the first place.
Turn! Turn! Turn! Poster
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 with the band's keening vocal harmonies and chiming guitars in a mix since institutionalized as a perennial rock dialect. With Seeger's classic title song, the Byrds brought Ecclesiastes onto the charts, importing the urban folk movement's social and political consciousness to the pop mainstream. If the album couldn't repeat the revelatory impact of its predecessor, it's still an earful, from Gene Clark's urgent, ardent "It Won't Be Wrong" to Dylan's contemplative "Lay Down Your Weary Tune." Meticulously remastered, this restored version also boasts unreleased tracks and B-sides, including "She Don't Care About Time," noteworthy for a 12-string solo lifted from Bach. --Sam SutherlandFolk Music CDs
