Recording information: 1972.
The Byrds emerged in 1965 with one of the most identifiable sounds of the 1960s, and proceeded to evolve from folk-rock to psychedelia to country-rock. The Byrds were defunct by 1972, but re-grouped briefly in 1973, with all of its original members, to record one last album. BYRDS is in the country-steeped vein of the 1968 classic SWEETHEARTS OF THE RODEO, shimmering with chiming 12-string guitars and lush, multi-part harmonies. But while the signature sound is there, the album isn`t on par with the band`s classic material, namely because the songwriting is inconsistent (save Gene Clark`s winning originals). Even so, the album belongs in any Byrds fanatic`s collection, and is a suitable swan song from one of the era`s most important bands.
