Description:
The Byrds were one the most adventurous and influential bands in rock history. Forming in 1964 and releasing 11 seminal albums between '65 and '72, The Byrds have influenced a wide array of musicians including REM, Uncle Tupelo and The Jayhawks. The Byrds, some may argue, laid the foundation for the genres of Alt-Country and Americana.
