Biography: The Byrds

Tuesday September 12, 2006
They're a Folk Rock band. Oh, no, they're a Psychedelic Rock band. Actually, they're Country Rock. Truth is, during the late 1960s The Byrds were instrumental in creating and defining all three genres.

With the upcoming (9/26) release of their four-CD, one-DVD career retrospective, There Is A Season, the time seems right for our own retrospective of this innovative classic rock group.

Hi Dave, Loved seeing this about the Byrds, a great band! I just took your “weird song title quiz” and did terrible!

I linked it on my blog today to see if my friends do any better.

Smiles,

Smiles back, Layla, and thanks so much for the link. Hey, don’t feel bad about the quiz. I don’t think I would have done very well on it either if I hadn’t put it together!
