Our Take

Ah, The Byrds - the band that made jangly guitars and harmonised vocals cool before it was even a thing. This compilation album, "The Very Best Of," is like a time machine back to the 60s, when music was groovy and bell-bottoms were hip.

From the iconic opening chords of "Mr. Tambourine Man" to the dreamy twangs of "Eight Miles High," this collection is a crash course in everything that made The Byrds so damn special. They effortlessly blended folk, rock, and psychedelia to create a sound that was uniquely their own, and it's all on display here.

Highlights include the timeless "Turn! Turn! Turn!" with its uplifting message of peace and love, and the infectious "All I Really Want to Do" that will have you tapping your toes in no time. And let's not forget "So You Want to Be a Rock 'n' Roll Star," a cheeky little number that pokes fun at the music industry with a wink and a nod.

But it's not all sunshine and flowers - tracks like "My Back Pages" show a darker, more introspective side to the band that adds depth to their catalogue. Overall, "The Very Best Of" is a must-have for any Byrds fan or anyone looking to dip their toes into the psychedelic waters of 60s rock. So grab your paisley shirt and crank up the volume - it's time to take a trip back in time with The Byrds.
