Influential L.A. rockers whose jangling guitars, angelic harmonies, and restless eclecticism helped
pioneer folk-, psych-, and country-rock.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 folk-rock, but they were certainly more responsible than any other single act (Dylan included)
for melding the innovations and energy of the British Invasion with the best lyrical and musical
elements of contemporary folk music. The jangling, 12-string guitar sound of leader
Roger McGuinn's Rickenbacker was permanently absorbed into the vocabulary of rock.
They also played a vital role in pioneering psychedelic rock and country-rock,
the unifying element being their angelic harmonies and restless eclecticism

The recording sessions for the Byrds' fifth album, The Notorious Byrd Brothers,
were conducted in the midst of internal turmoil that found them reduced to a duo
by the time the record was completed. That wasn't evident from listening to the
results, which showed the group continuing to expand the parameters of their eclecticism
while retaining their hallmark guitar jangle and harmonies. With assistance
from producer Gary Usher, they took more chances in the studio, enhancing
the spacy quality of tracks like "Natural Harmony" and Goffin & King's
"Wasn't Born to Follow" with electronic phasing. Washes of Moog synthesizer
formed the eerie backdrop for "Space Odyssey," and the songs were craftily
and unobtrusively linked with segues and fades. But the Byrds did not bury
the essential strengths of their tunes in effects: "Goin' Back" (also written
by Goffin & King) was a magnificent and melodic cover with the expected tasteful
12-string guitar runs that should have been a big hit. "Tribal Gathering" has some
of the band's most effervescent harmonies; "Draft Morning" is a subtle
and effective reflection of the horrors of the Vietnam War;
and "Old John Robertson" looks forward to the country-rock
that would soon dominate their repertoire....(AllMusic)
