Title: Byrds flyte to the country revisited
Review: Sweetheart of the Rodeo gets expanded one more time with this 2 cd release. Disc 1 starts off with the album as it originaly came out in 1968 remastered and even cleaner than the 1998 addition. The bonus tracks begin with All I Have Are Memories first heard as an instrumental on the '98 reissue this time with vocals by drummer Kevin Kelly sounding like a Buck Owens tune this should have been on the original album.The rest of disc 1 has the bonus tracks from the '98 reissue.Disc 2 starts off with Gram Parsons previous band The International Submarine Band with three tracks from very rare singles that show a huge debt to the Beatles.Following those are three tracks from The International Submarine Bands sole lp Safe At Home.The rest of disc 2 are outtakes and rehersals of songs that made it on to the original lp. These offer valuable insights to the Byrds inthe studio.This is an excellant set that any Byrds fan should not be without.
