About this album
History Of The Byrds is a useful overview of one of the defining American rock groups of the 1960s and early 1970s. Drawing on the band’s folk-rock breakthrough and later move towards country rock, it brings together signature recordings such as Mr. Tambourine Man, Turn, Turn, Turn and Eight Miles High alongside later highlights like So You Wanna Be a Rock ’N’ Roll Star and Goin’ Back. The Byrds helped reshape rock with chiming guitars, harmonies and a sharper songwriter’s sensibility, influencing everything from jangle pop to alt-country. This compilation charts that evolution in compact form.
