I read Guinn was a big flying and airplane enthusiast, thus “Byrds” and “8 Miles High”- fwiw

Epic band - I think I own just about every vinyl LP ever produced by the Byrds, including the anthologies and anthologies of anthologies.

IIRC, “Eight Miles High” won an award for top JAZZ recording the year it came out.

Some unheralded but dynamite (IMO) Byrds recordings -

“Pretty Boy Floyd”

“Truck Stop Girl”

“Baby Blue”

“Old John Robertson”

and check out their album “Sweetheart of the Rodeo” - a real sleeper.

..... still play them regularly.
