How can someone write an article about the Byrds and not mention Gram Parsons?

Or Chris Hillman?

Yes! Very controversial album back then— fans expected something psychedelic but they sang country instead. At the time it didn’t please rock or country fans.

1965 was a great year in music. I just today picked up a nice mono copy of Kinda Kinks from ‘65. Listening to it at the moment.

As for The Byrds, I have most of their albums on vinyl and cd, as well as solo McGuinn projects. Great stuff!

1965 was a very, very good year

And it’s not sentimental for me... I was three, and I surely don’t remember it going down lol

To my ears, no song better captures the spirit of 60s than Eight Miles High. One of my favorite covers of it is by Leo Kottke.
