The Byrds - Mister Tamborin

Review by S.J. Kemperman

The Byrds' album "Mr. Tambourine Man" is a classic of folk rock that still resonates with fans today. Released in 1965, the album features the title track, which was a massive hit and helped to establish the band's signature sound. The album is filled with jangly guitars, lush harmonies, and poetic lyrics that capture the spirit of the 1960s. The band's cover of Bob Dylan's "Chimes of Freedom" is a standout, as is their version of Pete Seeger's "The Bells of Rhymney." The album also includes original compositions from the band members, such as "I'll Feel a Whole Lot Better" and "All I Really Want to Do." "Mr. Tambourine Man" is a timeless album that showcases the Byrds' unique blend of folk, rock, and pop, and is a must-listen for fans of classic rock.
