The Byrds music biography continued...

originally consisted of Gene Clark (tambourine, vocals, harmonica), Roger McGuinn (guitar, vocals), David Crosby (guitar, vocals), Chris Hillman (bass, vocals) and Chris Hillman (bass, vocals). In November 1964, the band signed to Columbia Records, soon after recording "Mr. Tambourine Man", a Bob Dylan song given the full electric treatment. Released in June 1965 after a long delay, this debut single reached # 1 on the US charts and repeated the feat in the UK shortly afterwards. At the same time, their debut album Mr. Tambourine Man was released, reaching #6 in The U.S. and #7 in The U.K. The Byrds instead quickly recorded "Turn! Turn! Turn!" a Pete Seeger adaptation of a traditional melody, with some lyrics taken directly from the Biblical book of Ecclesiastes, and the song became the group's second US #1 single, also headlining their second album (also titled Turn! Turn! Turn!). By the end of 1965, the band had tired of the pure folk-rock sound and began to experiment. In December1965, they recorded "Eight Miles High", generally considered the first full-blown psychedelic recording, and regarded as a "drug" song. By 1967, there were tensions amongst the band members and several line-up changes ensued. With the new members in place, The Byrds played the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville and immediately started recording their next album in a wholly country style, with Gram Parsons choosing and singing many of the songs. After more line-up changes (with lead singer/guitarist Roger McGuinn as the only consistent member), The Byrds broke up in 1973.



In 1991, after years of short-lived reunion tours, the Byrds original line-up of of Gene Clark, Michael Clarke, David Crosby, Chris Hillman and Roger McGuinn were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In 2004, Rolling Stone Magazine ranked them #45 on their list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time, with the magazine citing their influence on other groups and calling them one of rock n' roll's most underrated bands.
