The Byrds - Kitchen Listening

I've always been a big fan of The Byrds and I've loved all of their albums. I especially like listening to this 4 CD box set they released in 1990. This was one of the first CD box sets I acquired. Each CD in the set has it's own title... We Have Ignition, Cruising Altitude, Full Throttle and Final Approach.

I saw them live at their peak in 1967. Then a couple more times in 1969 and 1973. I have their music scattered throughout my mixes. I especially liked their interpretations of Bob Dylan songs which of course they did right from their very beginning. Also my foray into listening to country music was hearing their album Sweetheart of the Rodeo in 1968.
