A key transitional touchstone in The Byrds’ fabled canon, 1969’s Dr. Byrds & Mr. Hyde was the next stop in the band’s pioneering country-rock trajectory and the first album by the post-Gram Parsons lineup. With leader Roger McGuinn at the helm of a stellar new edition of the band featuring guitar god Clarence White, drummer Gene Parsons and bassist John York, Dr. Byrds & Mr. Hyde sees The Byrds bridging the gap between the psychedelic flights of the group’s mid-’60s albums and the down-home, country-based style developed only months earlier with Sweetheart of the Rodeo.<\/p>\n
In addition to containing the strong McGuinn originals “King Apathy III” and “Old Blue,” Dr. Byrds & Mr. Hyde includes more of the band’s beloved interpretations of Bob Dylan classics like “This Wheel’s on Fire,” a medley blending “My Back Pages” with Jimmy Reed’s “Baby, What You Want Me to Do” and even a Gram Parsons collaboration, “Drug Store Truck Drivin’ Man.” Dr. Byrds & Mr. Hyde also boasts two tracks composed by McGuinn for the obscure, racy ’60s cult movie Candy.<\/p>\n
