“The Notorious Byrd Brothers” by The Byrds - album review
features in: Album Chart of 1968 ● Album Chart of the Decade: 1960s ● 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die  |
An album which floats along on a real magic carpet ride where moog synthesizers sit aside steel guitars whilst hosts philosophize on everything from peace to ecology to freedom to drug use to alienation and mankind’s place in the universe. It’s a head swirler… I think I like it…
