THE BYRDS

GENE PARSONS, ROGER MCGUINN, SKIP BATTIN, CLARENCE WHITE
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

Among the later Byrds albums, Untitled was always the one to own, even if you weren't a huge fan. Issued back in 1970 as a two-priced-as-one LP, Untitled was one of the few modest commercial successes for the latter-day group. "Eight Miles High" is the high point, a 15-minute jam that showcases this band's prowess. The studio sides aren't to be overlooked, however -- the group by this time was modifying its established sound into more of a '70s mode, and the influence of new members Gene Parsons and Skip Battin was showing up, pushing aside the familiar timbre of Roger McGuinn's 12-string Rickenbacker in favor of a leaner country-rock orientation. On some of this material (especially the Parsons-Battin "Yesterday's Train" and Battin's "Well Come Back Home"), they sound more like Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. The only song on the album to get heard by people other than serious Byrds fanatics was McGuinn's "Chestnut Mare," but "Truck Stop Girl," "All the Things," the group's version of Leadbelly's "Take a Whiff on Me," and, especially, "Just a Season" (maybe the prettiest song McGuinn has ever written) also hold up very well...(AllMusic)
