4.0 out of 5 stars More great tunes from the Byrds, November 11, 2009

This review is from: Dr Byrds & Mr Hyde (Audio CD)

A lot of the time spent discussing these Byrds versus the original Byrds is just wasted air / wasted space. This is one of my favorite albums by the Byrds, along with Notorious Byrd Brothers. Greatest Hits and 5D. Its doggone easy to listen to and has great songs and great licks by Clarence White.

Since I saw the band touring behind this album in Moline, Illinois I have to report that they were one magical assemblage. I was indeed glad I had gone 200 miles out of my way without a ride home to see them.

So back to the music: This Wheels on Fire is here in a version I prefer to both Julie Driscoll and to the Band. Child of the Universe and Candy are interesting cinematic tie-ins and good tunes, while Bad Night and King Apathy III are terrific, as is Nashville West and Drugstore Truck Driving Man. Its hard to fault anything here, all of which I have listened to many, many times over. In fact, its hard to aurally picture my life without this disc. I prefer it to the simulataneous release, The Gilded Palace of Sin by the Flying Burrito Brothers, which is pretty good in and of itself. (This is the band and album that three Byrds left to found and record).

Dr Byrds and Mr Hyde is one of the finest albums from the Byrds which is more of a rock album as compared to the other albums from this great band.All the songs on this album are good and this album is highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Underrated, Very Fine era of McGuinn and Clarence White Byrds!, September 26, 2011

This review is from: Dr Byrds & Mr Hyde (Audio CD)

The magic between McGuinn's vocals/ guitar and Clarence White's lead guitar stylings make this a great Byrds album. Wheel of Fire, Gentle Way and Candy all are great tracks that didn't garner a ton of radio back in the day, but Legacy was smart enough to keep this print, now with some very cool bonus tracks.
