Dr Byrd and Mr Hyde

After the departure of three band members that played on Sweetheart Of The Rodeo, Roger McGuinn had to assemble a new line-up for The Byrds. Especially their new guitarist Clarence White really shines on Dr Byrds and Mr Hyde and would continue to do so in subsequent Byrds albums. The pedal steel guitar work is particularly fantastic, the arrangements are inventive and Roger’s distinctive nasal-pitched vocals are confident and inspired. Dr Byrds and Mr Hyde may lack the instant commercial appeal of the group’s past releases, but remains an interesting and intriguing artefact of the era.
