And if you’re looking for even more commentary and videos check us out on Patreon The Byrds are undoubtedly one of the most influential groups of any era in music history. They directly inspired some of the greatest bands to come of age in generation X from R.E.M. the Smiths, Husker Du, Echo and the Bunnymen, Stone Roses, Teenage Fanclub, Wilco and so many more as well as bands from their era. Some may not realize that even the Beatles were blown away by their creativity. The Fab four tipped their hat to the Byrds in a few of their songs including What You’re Doing. Bob Dylan was a fan. Formed in Los Angelas California in 1964, the band had multiple lineup changes through out the years with frontman Roger Mcguinn who was actually know as Jim McGuinn until about 1967 as the only consistent member. In the middle of the british invasion as the Beatles, the Stones and others were taking over America. The Byrds were on the front lines of defense if you will. They helped define 3 genres of music, Folk Rock, Psychedelia and country rock and were revered the world over. Although their time as one of the world’s most popular bands lasted a short period of time in the mid 60s, they are easily one of the most impactful artists of the rock era. I’ve already mentioned the bands above that owe a great debt to this band but like I said, they were one of the first pioneers to brandish Country Rock, as groups like Poco and Eagles followed. As well as pioneering folk rock as they combined the influence of the Beatles and Dylan as well as traditional folk music with Mr. Tambourine Man and Turn! Turn! Turn! written by Dylan and Pete Seeger. As they moved through the decade though they experimented even more with a journey through Psychedelia and raga rock. In what was one of their masterpiece as a group, the band created a psychedelic opus and arguably the defining song of the genre with Eight Miles High. the song was written by Gene Clark, Roger Mcguinn, and David Crosby. Released as a single on March 14 1966. In an exclusive interview we talk about influences on the song which gave the track it’s real strength. Critics often sight the as being the first true psychedelic rock song which drove the counterculture era. There was controversy with the song which I discuss with Roger. Radio programmers ever so conservative and on edge because of the drug culture read into the song’s message and made a hasty judgement. The song was banned by US Radio which stopped it from going higher than it’s #14 peak on the billboard Hot 100.
