The Byrds - 1964 1971
Review by Christopher Poterala
The Byrds were one of the most influential bands of the 1960s, and their music continues to inspire new generations of musicians today. Their album 1964-1971 is a retrospective collection that showcases the band's evolution over the course of their career.
From the jangly folk-rock of "Mr. Tambourine Man" to the psychedelic experimentation of "Eight Miles High," the Byrds were never afraid to push boundaries and explore new musical territory. This album captures the band's restless creativity and their ability to adapt to changing trends in popular music.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Turn! Turn! Turn!," a song that was inspired by a passage from the book of Ecclesiastes and became a hit single in 1965. The song's message of peace and unity still resonates today, and it's a testament to the Byrds' enduring legacy.
