The album’s title track “Ballad Of Easy Rider” was re-recorded with the tempo speeded up, along with orchestration to make it a bonafide classic for both the times and the movie. All of this had me shaking my head in disbelief, unable to decide if this were a Christian album or an album with Christian songs, either way, spending money to be preached to was something I couldn’t abide, so the record was boxed away, until I later gave it to a friend.

Tambourine Man” shattered the world, though within that short timeframe, the Beatles had stopped touring and were on the verge of breaking up, the end of a decade was at hand and the Byrds, well they were no longer the Byrds who helped usher in the psychedelic era, which too, was ebbing its way out the door.įounding member Roger McGuinn was the last man standing here, surrounding himself with an entirely different band, all of whom were both singers and songwriter, so it was entirely expected that this would be a good album … though it often does goes as sideways as a five year old running through the grocery store. ** Single print order can either print or save as PDF.It was only November of 1969 when this album arrived, meaning it’s only been a couple of years since “Mr. If "play" button icon is greye unfortunately this score does not contain playback functionality.
