A new large-format 400-page collectible art book curated by the band's
three surviving founding members. When the Byrds released "Mr.
Tambourine Man" in 1965, they introduced Bob Dylan's songs to a new
audience and launched a career that would make them among the most
influential rock bands of all time. With their unmistakable harmonies
and Roger McGuinn's innovative 12-string Rickenbacker guitar, the Byrds
never stopped experimenting. They incorporated folk, country, and jazz,
influences into a fresh blend that helped define an era. "And not to be
too shallow," Tom Petty once wrote, "but they also were just the
best-dressed band around. They had those great clothes and hairdos." Now
the band's three surviving founding members--Roger McGuinn, Chris
Hillman, and David Crosby--have come together to present The Byrds:
1964-1967, a large format tabletop book that offers a unique visual
history of the group. Featuring more than 500 images from legendary
photographers such as Henry Diltz, Barry Feinstein, Curt Gunther, Jim
Marshall, Linda McCartney, Tom Gundelfinger O'Neal, and Guy Webster, the
book also includes a detailed oral history from McGuinn, Hillman, and
Crosby.
