The Byrds anyone???

[CRAZY-HORSE]

THE BYRDS  "farther along" cd, 1971.

final album from the box set...
their eleventh of twelve...
the twelfth album isnt in the box set because it wasnt on the Columbia label but i will listen to it via Deezer and rate it to keep things complete...
another highly eclectic album from The Byrds, lots of folk, folk-rock, southern rock, bluegrass, gospel and a hint of blues rock also...
biggest disappointment for me was the final album track, a bloody bluegrass instrumental...WTF!
everything else  is above excellent or not far from being excellent IMO...
i guess im a fan of their latter years  (post Crosby, Gene Clark) after after absorbing this collection of albums...
favorite track has a riff similar to KISS' "got to choose" (this was written at least 2 years prior to the Kiss tune)...
three bonus tracks at the end  also, they were irrelevant to me but i guess die-hards and completists would appreciate them...
I LOVE THIS ALBUM
