“Turn! Turn! Turn!” by The Byrds - album review
features in: Album Chart of 1965 ● Album Chart of the Decade: 1960s |
Following a similar formula to the debut from just six months earlier, featuring five and a half originals, with five and a half covers (including two Dylan). The lack of space for originals was already proving to be a stress point for the group, with the varying song-writing talents striving to secure potentially lucrative album inclusions for their labours. Power struggles aside, the band delivered another fine set here, tending further towards the folk at the expense of the pop.
