The Byrds were a visionary band that pushed the boundaries of music with their groundbreaking releases. In just three years, they released six genre-defining albums that transformed electric guitars into traditional folk music, brought jazz into psychedelic pop, and introduced what we now know as Americana. By being the first major rock band to embrace the sound of Nashville, they paved the way for other genres such as folk rock, acid rock, and country rock. Their influence extended beyond music, as they were heralded as pioneers of space rock, abstract electronics, and inter-genre crossover material.
The Byrds' constant progression and hunger to push the boundaries of popular music influenced countless musical movements that followed. Their journey from their mercurial 1965-1968 era to the less successful later years is explored in this book. Each chapter examines one of the band's 12 studio albums, highlighting the many high points and discussing the less successful later years when the law of diminishing returns took over.
Connected Flights, a part of each chapter, explores the band's contemporaneous non-album singles and B-sides, providing a deeper understanding of their musical evolution. Additionally, previously unreleased tracks that were later released as part of their extensive reissue campaigns are covered, making this book one of the most comprehensive guides to The Byrds' music yet produced.
The Byrds' legacy continues to inspire and influence musicians to this day, and their music remains a testament to their visionary spirit and their profound impact on the world of music.
