Rewind: The Byrds - Byrds (1973)

By the time the original Byrds reconvened in 1973 to put a proper cap on the band, David Crosby was a huge star, Chris Hillman and Michael Clarke were former Flying Burrito Brothers, Gene Clark was nursing a fledging solo career and Roger McGuinn was the last remaining original member of the Byrds in the lineup that recorded and were touring behind ’71’s Farther Along.

And although the Byrds LP has been much maligned in the intervening decades, the criticism is mostly unfair. The original Byrds - who hadn’t played as a quintet since 1966 - didn’t attempt to recapture their original sound; rather, they gave listeners an idea of where they were as individuals.

McGuinn was tired - writing only two of the 11 songs and turning back from country to his first love on “Born to Rock ‘n’ Roll.” Clark was hungry, writing and singing the apropos opener “Full Circle” and “Changing Heart” and leading the band though country-folk covers of Neil Young’s “Cowgirl in the Sand” and “(See the Sky) About to Rain.”

Like McGuinn, Hillman, too, returned to folk-rock music, collaborating with his Manassas bandmates Dallas Taylor and Joe Lala, respectively, on writing the driving “Things Will be Better” and the frenetic, mandolin-focused “Borrowing Time.” Crosby, meanwhile, is in the early stages of his drug-induced malaise, opting to cover Joni Mitchell’s “For Free,” re-record his own “Laughing” in an inferior redux and rewrite “Cowboy Movie” as “Long Live the King.”

In some ways, Byrds sounds more like a various-artists album than a cohesive group effort, albeit with Clarke steering it all from behind the kit. Though the songs aren’t essential, neither are any of them filler. The result is a solid effort from the rare band that closed the book on its career the right and respectable way.

For there was never another Byrds album after the Byrds album.

dallas taylor being kinda perfect

Not all homecomings end up being the best representations of their musicians, some struggle to reach their previous selves' heights. Well, Byrds by The Byrds serve as a good example here. I mean, I get why many wished for the old lineup to return, yet these forgot that the 70's Byrds had a lot of surprisingly good material for a group of their stature at that point. Mind you, I get the appeal of Clarke, Crosby, Hillman, McGuinn and Clark working together again, they really made their mark during the 60's. However, something went wrong and I wouldn't dare to put the blame on one reason alone, though the fact all the members had their own gigs meant they didn't put their best here. Pardon, Gene Clark did as you can hear on the link, he probably put the most in this reunion of them all.
