Il est fréquent de voir un groupe comparé à #TheByrds. Il est plus rare que cette comparaison soit fondée. C'est le cas du premier album des Goods (alias Rob Good au singulier, pour l'essentiel).
Un album plein de guitares stratosphériques de bout en bout, qui prend soin de ménager quelques accords plus soft à la fin du dernier titre pour permettre à l'auditeur de redescendre sur Terre en douceur.
"The sound of summer, arriving just in time for the fall" (écrit le label, Dandy Boy Records, sur Bandcamp) ? Oui, mais en réécoutant l'album en boucle, on fera des provisions de soleil d'ici l'été prochain.

"Eight Miles High" is a song by the American rock band #theByrds, #written by #GeneClark, #JimMcGuinn (later known as #RogerMcGuinn), and #DavidCrosby. It was first released as a #single on March 14, 1966. Musically influenced by #sitar player #RaviShankar and #jazz saxophonist #JohnColtrane, the song was influential in developing the musical styles of #psychedelia and #ragaRock. Accordingly.

#Music #NowPlaying on #Vinyl in #HighFidelity, #TheByrds version of this beautiful song, which captures its anthemic quality better than the original on "Another Side of #BobDylan."
🎶Tolling for the aching whose wounds cannot be nursed
For the countless confused,
accused, misused, strung-out ones and worse
And for every hung-up person in the whole wide universe
And we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashin'🎶

I think the MC5 and The Byrds were moonlighting on Saturday morning kids tv
Released this day in 1968. The touch stone of Country Rock and the instrument that introduced Gram Parsons to the world. Though Parsons had left the group by the time the album was released his fingerprints are all over it.
Originally McGuinn's vision was for a "history of american music" Parsons passion for country rock pressured McGuinn that a country album would be the direction. Even going further that the album should be recorded in Nashville as Dylan had done with "Blond on Blond". When the Byrd's producer Gary Usher agreed they should go to Nashville McGuinn was convinced. On March 9, 1968, the band decamped to Columbia's recording facility in Nashville, with Clarence White in tow, to begin recording sessions for "Sweetheart of the Rodeo".
A commercial flop when released, today the album is revered as a cornerstone of Country Rock music and the launching pad for Gram Parsons.
