Rating: - Yet Another Byrds Classic!
Along with "Sweetheart of the Rodeo" this album is the most country-influenced album in the Byrds catalogue. But whereas "Sweetheart" tends to lean on classical country, "Ballad of Easy Rider" shows a much broader approach. This greater variety in styles, plus overall stronger material, makes this much more satisfying album than it's much-acclaimed predecessor, which I honestly speaking find somewhat over-rated.
There is a mature and releaxed feeling in these recordings, and though there is ... Read More
