The Byrds
Sweetheart of the Rodeo
Deluxe Edition (2CD)
$28.88
Generally reckoned to be the most important and greatest country-rock album of all time, 1968’s Sweetheart of the Rodeo is back in a deluxe reissue that really brings to light the genius of Gram Parsons and the Byrds themselves. Disc One reprises the original album with the vocals Roger McGuinn substituted for Parsons due to contractual entanglements, then offers the songs with the original Parsons vocals that first surfaced on the now out-of-print Byrds boxed set. The disc ends with an unreleased Kevin Kelley vocal on All I Have Is Memories, presaging the glorious run of rarities on Disc Two, beginning with the International Submarine Band’s lone single for Columbia and three tracks in stereo from their Safe at Home album, then turning to 14 unreleased rehearsal and alternate takes from the Sweetheart of the Rodeo sessions, including versions of Lazy Days; Life in Prison; Pretty Polly; Hickory Wind; One Hundred Years from Now; You're Still on My Mind; All I Have Is Memories, and Blue Canadian Rockies (Chris Hillman on lead vocals!). Plus revealing studio chatter that portrays a masterpiece in the making. Produced by Byrds expert Bob Irwin, this one’s a dead-solid must.
