Ballad of Easy Rider is the eighth album by the American rock band the Byrds and was released in November 1969 on Columbia Records. The album was named after the song "Ballad of Easy Rider", which had been written by the Byrds' guitarist and singer, Roger McGuinn (with help from Bob Dylan), as the theme song for the 1969 film, Easy Rider. The title was also chosen in an attempt to capitalize on the commercial success of the film, although the majority of the music on the album had no connection with it. Nonetheless, the association with Easy Rider heightened the Byrds' public profile and resulted in Ballad of Easy Rider becoming the band's highest charting album for two years in the U.S.

  • Ballad of Easy Rider ist das achte Studioalbum der US-amerikanischen Folk-Rock-Band The Byrds, das neunte, wenn man ihr -Album mitzählt. Es erschien am 29. Oktober 1969 auf dem Label Columbia Records. In den Vereinigten Staaten erreichte das Album #36 der Pop-Charts, in Großbritannien #41. Dank der Rückkehr Terry Melchers, des Produzenten der ersten beiden Byrds-Alben, war Ballad of Easy Rider unter Fans und Kritikern ein weit größerer Erfolg als der Vorgänger Dr. Byrds & Mr. Hyde. Da Roger McGuinn in der Entstehungsphase des Albums hauptsächlich damit beschäftigt war die Musik für Jacques Levys Pop-Version von Peer Gynt zu komponieren und die drei anderen Mitglieder im Songs schreiben wenig Erfahrung hatten, besteht Ballad of Easy Rider hauptsächlich aus Coverversionen von Songs anderer Interpreten. Von jedem Bandmitglied ist nur je ein selbstverfasstes Lied enthalten. McGuinn steuerte den Titeltrack bei, der in einer Solo-Version von ihm schon auf dem Easy Rider-Soundtrack erschienen war. Zwei Singles wurden von dem Album ausgekoppelt. Ballad of Easy Rider mit der B-Seite Oil in My Lamp erschien am 1. Oktober, noch vor Veröffentlichung des Albums, und erreichte in den amerikanischen Single-Charts #65. Jesus Is Just Alright, das die Doobie Brothers 1972 zum Hit machten, kam erst am 15. Dezember auf den Markt und kam nur bis #97. B-Seite war eine neue Version des Bob-Dylan-Songs It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue, den die Byrds in der Originalbesetzung 1965 schon einmal aufgenommen, damals aber nicht veröffentlicht hatten. (de)

The title track was released as a preceding single in October 1969, achieving moderate success on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. A second single taken from the album, "Jesus Is Just Alright", was released in December 1969, but only managed to reach number 97 on the Billboard Hot 100. The album was the second to be recorded by the Roger McGuinn, Clarence White, Gene Parsons, and John York line-up of the Byrds, although York would be fired shortly after its completion. Upon release, Ballad of Easy Rider was met with mixed reviews, but is today regarded as one of the band's stronger albums from the latter half of their career. (en)
