The byrds sweetheart of the rodeo vinyl.

Where the band s previous lp the notorious byrd brothers had an overall psychedelic rock sound sweetheart became purely a country record. Folk rock country rock. After the wonderful notorious byrds brothers album sweetheart was like a bad dream. It was certainly the best and most heartfelt such excursion and paved the way for fabled combos the flying burrito bros.

Dreary bland country songs front the over rated gram parsons. Rock folk world country style. With all the material that the byrds recorded at the sessions it could have easily been as great an album as its reputation would indicate. Sweetheart of the rodeo is the 6th album by american rock country band the byrds and was originally released on august 30 1968.

Sweetheart of the rodeo will forever be revered as the byrds 1968 album that opened the eyes of the hip and the young to country music. Cbs s 63353 format. Vinyl lp album stereo country. Firing crosby doing this poor album ended the byrds and mcguinn s career in my opinion.

And poco yet to come. The original sweetheart of the rodeo is a 5 star album only because of its historical importance and influential impact. Whether it was the first country rock album doesn t really matter. Sweetheart of the rodeo.
