Music reviews of Sweetheart of the Rodeo
Music Review: DEFINITELY THE BEST BYRDS ALBUM
Rating: 5 Stars
With singer and guitarist GRAM PARSONS replacing DAVID CROSBY and KEVIN KELLEY replacing MIKE CLARKE, THE BYRDS would become the first rock and roll group to record country music. Plus, this is also the third album that future BYRDS member CLARENCE WHITE would play on before joining full-time, but also the only album that GRAM and KEVIN (CHRIS HILLMAN'S cousin) would record with THE BYRDS. My only complaint about this album this that the group's leader ROGER MCGUINN should not have taken over the lead vocal on songs that their newest member GRAM PARSONS would bring to the band to record. Even though ROGER could emitate GRAM'S singing abilities, GRAM had the best singing voice. More importantly, he should have been the lead singer for the majority of this album; furthermore, it is unfortunate that he died in 1973 after CLARENCE. Anyway, YOU AIN'T GOING NOWHERE is a excellent opening song for the album with the excellent sounding pedal steel guitar that would replace ROGER'S 12-string RICKENBACKER guitar throughout the entire album, the keyboards, and the harmony vocals. CHRIS'S I AM A PILGRIM is a excellent sequel with his singin and mandolin playing, banjo, acoustic guitar, and a violin, but his arrangement and lead vocal of BLUE CANADIAN ROCKIES (one of my favorite songs) with the piano, CLARENCE'S string bending guitar playing, is a whole lot better. Plus, ROGER plays an excellent bango on the bluegrass flavored PRETTY BOY FLOYD that also features a violin, a mandolin, and a string bass. The alternate version of THE CHRISTIAN LIFE that features the piano, pedal steel guitar and CLARENCE'S guitar playing, like the original version, sounds better with GRAM'S lead vocals. YOU DON'T HAVE TO MISS YOUR WATER is an excellent country flavored song with the track piano and the pedal steel guitar, but it would have sound better with GRAM'S singin' instead. The version of this song should have been included on this edition. NOTHING WAS DELIVERED is and excellent song, especially with the harmony vocals. As for GRAM'S songs, his HICKORY WIND with the violin, harmony vocals, the acoustic and pedal steel guitar, is my favorite song that he sings, but his next song ONE HUNDRED YEARS FORM NOW would have sound better if GRAM, CHRIS and ROGER would have sung this together, instead of just CHRIS and ROGER. Plus, the alternative that his sings on is excellent, but the pace and the background music is better on the album issue. The other two country songs that he sings LIFE IN PRISON, YOU'RE STILL ON MY MIND, and his guitar rockin' song LAZY DAYS with his lead vocals, CHRIS'S harmony vocals, ROGER'S 12-string RICKENBACKER are outstanding too. YOU GOT A REPUTATION with the dobro and vocals by GRAM, ROGER, and CHRIS and PRETTY POLLY with ROGER'S singin and the 12-string RICKENBACKER are excellent songs. Although the last song ALL I HAVE IS MEMORIES is a excellent instrumental song with the pedal steel guitar and CLARENCE'S guitar riffs, I just do not understand why the version with KEVIN'S lead vocals that are very similar to GRAM was not included on this edition, or even the original release. This version and the version of YOU DON'T HAVE TO MISS YOUR WATER and NOTHING WAS DELIVERED with GRAM'S lead vocals should have been included on this edition instead of the alternate versions of YOU'RE STILL ON MY MIND and LIFE IN PRISON since these two versions both have GRAM'S lead vocals. Meanwhile, the hidden bonus broadcasting advertisement of this album is a pleasure to hear. Overall, this is my most favorite album by THE BYRDS.
