An excellent compilation for
those wanting a general introduction to one of the great trendsetters in
popular music.
This set features 20 tracks
from the famous Mr Tambourine Man recorded in 1965 up to four songs from
1990. In between there are songs from the band themselves as well as Bob
Dylan and a host of other writers.
Songs such as "Turn,
Turn, Turn," "Eight Miles High, "My Back Pages,
"Chestnut Mare" and "5D Fifth Dimension" are all
classics of their genre. I hope this album whets the appetite for music
lovers to look out the original Byrds albums.
The
Very Best Of - 7
This release is very
similar to the above but does have seven more tracks. All the favourites
are here and those additional tracks have a distinctly country flavour to
them. Again an excellent starting point for those who want to discover or
re-discover one of the most influential bands of all time.
