  • As the lead single from Sweetheart of the Rodeo, "You Ain't Goin' Nowhere" became the first full-blown country rock release by the Byrds. As such, it provided the public at large with their first opportunity to hear the band's new musical direction. (en)
  • An excerpt from the Byrds' recording of "Turn! Turn! Turn! (to Everything There Is a Season)", which provided the band with their second U.S. number 1 single and served to cement folk rock as a chart trend. (en)
  • A sample of the country-influenced Chris Hillman composition "Time Between", which foreshadowed the Byrds' later exploration of the country rock genre. (en)
  • A sample of the Byrds' recording of "All I Really Want to Do", illustrating the ascending melody progression in the song's refrain and the Beatlesque melody used in its third verse. (en)
  • An excerpt from the song "Old John Robertson", highlighting the Byrds' extensive use of phasing and flanging effects on The Notorious Byrd Brothers album. (en)
  • An excerpt from an outtake of the song "Tulsa County", highlighting Clarence White's use of the StringBender device. This guitar accessory was designed by drummer Gene Parsons and fitted to White's Fender Telecaster, allowing him to emulate the sound of a pedal steel guitar. The StringBender became a major characteristic of the Byrds' sound during White's time with the band. (en)
  • An excerpt from the intro of "Eight Miles High", demonstrating the John Coltrane-influenced, free form guitar playing of Roger McGuinn. (en)
  • An excerpt from "Kathleen's Song", highlighting the prominent orchestra and horn overdubs that producer Terry Melcher controversially added to the Byrdmaniax album, allegedly without the Byrds' consent. (en)

  • We got there and they expected a professional thing and we weren't ready for it. I mean, some of us had been professional in one capacity or another, but never as a group. I got sick, I had like a hundred and three something fever... So I'm lying on a couch or something there and everybody's going crazy - nobody has any organization anymore... everybody quit right there and said, "I quit, I'm going home," you know. Anyway, it all got back together. (en)
