Somerset Thrower - "Make Up, Motherfucker! It's Casual Friday". Here's a playlist of our favorite songs released in 2018, assembled by us, several of our artists, and some of our team members. Honestly, I'm not sure The Byrds could have properly pulled off jazz and blues, but who knows.Iron Pier's Top Songs of 2018 23 December 2018Ģ018 was a slow year for us on the label front - it happens - but there was a lot of new music coming out on other labels that we really liked. But other music forms are well represented: bluegrass, traditional Appalachian music, country and western, folk, country rock, hard rock/psychedelic rock, and finally an electronic piece recorded on a Moog. The result is that it's lacking jazz and blues. Finally, the album ends with the electronic piece that McGuinn had actually recorded during the sessions for The Notorious Byrd Brothers. Side C shows a bit more modern country and folk, and a rocker in "Lazy Days." The final side includes songs of psychedelic rock ("Bad Night at the Whiskey") and hard rock ("This Wheel's on Fire"). Side B moves along in time, with Dust Bowl ballads, a song about Prohibition gangster Pretty Boy Floyd by Woody Guthrie, the Bakersfield sound (including a Merle Haggard song, "Life in Prison"). Side A starts off with a McGuinn/Hillman original that's very much a traditional style folk tune, and then continues with mostly old traditional songs. Using the chronological concept, I rearranged most of the songs from the two albums into a double album. Hyde with new band members? Here's what I came up with: Both Hillman and Parsons were gone soon after Sweetheart of the Rodeo was completed, so what if it hadn't been released and McGuinn kept working on the album, eventually incorporating songs that would end up on the next Byrds album Dr. For this re-imagined album, I look at what an album might have been if McGuinn had stuck with his original vision. 
The funny thing is, since Sweetheart of the Rodeo includes country, folk and traditional music, much of McGuinn's concept is actually on the album. The band then recorded Sweetheart of the Rodeo. With urging from Parsons, Hillman and producer Gary Usher, McGuinn eventually acquiesced. Gram Parsons was offered the job, but he was more keen on country music, and convinced Hillman (who already came from a country and folk music background) that it was a better move than McGuinn's concept. To assist with his album concept, McGuinn wanted to also hire a keyboardist with jazz experience. They first hired Kevin Kelley as the band's new drummer. That left only McGuinn and Chris Hillman. Gene Clark had left before The Notorious Byrd Brothers was completed, and both David Crosby and Michael Clarke had been fired. The album would conclude with futuristic electronic music, featuring a Moog sythensizer.īut before The Byrds could record, they needed new members. For the followup to The Byrds' The Notorious Byrd Brothers album, Roger McGuinn came up with a concept for a double album that would be a history of American music in the 20th century: bluegrass and Appalachian music, country and western, jazz, rhythm and blues, and rock.
