 (1 Customer Review)
Building on the maturity of their previous effort YOUNGER THAN YESTERDAY, the Byrds delivered a suite of songs that naturally flow into one another with uncanny ease. It is one of the few vinyl releases where both sides would always be played, and 30 years later it begs to be heard uninterrupted--played individually, the songs lose their power. This was an artistic triumph and a commercial disappointment, as the memory of Crosby faded only to be replaced (allegedly) by a horse on the album sleeve. The Byrds moved on to their country phase and numerous line-ups but they were never to sound so perfect again.
Includes liner notes by David Fricke and Johnny Rogan.
The Byrds: Roger McGuinn, Chris Hillman, David Crosby, Michael Clarke.
Reissue producer: Bob Irwin.
Rolling Stone (12/11/03, p.136) - Ranked #171 in Rolling Stone's "The 500 Greatest Albums Of All Time"
Rolling Stone (9/2/99, p.117) - 4 1/2 stars (out of 5) - "...exhibits [their] overt country leanings....[evoking] hope and uncertainty, familiarity and daunting strangeness. Those combinations make [NOTORIOUS] a brilliant window onto an unforgettable place and time."
Entertainment Weekly (4/4/97, pp.81-82) - "...finally captures the album's spatial wistfulness and is recommended for fans of the strings-and-things indie rock of Eric Matthews..." - Rating: A
Uncut (9/01, p.94) - "...Seamless, multi-textured and remarkably coherent given the fractious circumstances of its recording, THE NOTORIOUS BYRD BROTHERS is a fascinating portrait of a band at the height of its powers..."
Blender (Magazine) (p.82) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[T]hey seemed to be surging forward, experimenting with electronic psychedelia and country, and paying tribute to nature and the nascent hippie culture."

Notorious Byrd Brothers Music Notorious Byrd Brothers Music Review Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars)  What Should Have Been A Graceful Ending
This album was, indeed, notorious among the group. This album was the most psychedelic of the group's albums, but it has a feeling of saying goodbye. Maybe they wanted to tell their fans that they were breaking up, and to all appearances, that's how things happened. David Crosby, one of the strongest songwriters, and the drummer, Michael Clarke, left the group after this album was made. This album was so understated and unassuming that it had some appeal from that angle, but in general, the album was just simply trippy and psychedelic. The music doesn't suffer, though; some of the group's best songs are on here, and it is nice to know that at least the first incarnation of the Byrds made this gentle bow out of the public eye before it dissolved almost completely. The group never made music like this ever again.

Few debut singles in the history of rock & roll have had the immediate and overwhelming impact of The Byrds' version of Bob Dylan's "Mr. Tambourine Man." Marrying a Beatles-like electric jangle to Dylan's insight and folky melody (in many ways, breaking Dylan into the pop market), it not only forecast the band's influence on the future of pop music but reestablished an American rock & roll presence in the face of the British Invasion. ...

All songs have been digitally remastered using a 20-Bit Super Mapping system.
More of a companion piece than a follow-up to their debut, TURN! TURN! TURN! established The Byrds' place in the puzzle that was American rock & roll in the mid-'60s, but not for reasons commonly attributed to it. On the one hand, this was another batch of songs furthering the California folk-rock boom. "Turn! Turn! Turn!," the band's second (and final) number one single, was Pete Seeger's musical interpretation of proverbs from the Book Of Ecclesiastes; "Oh Susannah" was ...

$7.59
Recorded in 1966-67. Includes liner notes by David Fricke and Johnny Rogan.
Released in April 1967, months before the Summer Of Love, YOUNGER THAN YESTERDAY was proof that The Byrds had already graduated from their fascination with the psychedelic "scene." "Eight Miles High" may have introduced the general public to the counter culture's interests and fascinations, but this song cycle found The Byrds reluctant to rest their faith in either the growing movement they helped bring together, or the art form that was the movement's voice.
The sonic lessons they'd learned still infused many of the tracks. Tape-loops created the splendorous ...
