    McGuinn and the second-generation Byrds were undergoing a bit of a revival as a good live act around then, and I think their 1971 tour was pretty successful in Britain. It's interesting that he seems pretty cognizant of current rock trends as their hit-making days were mostly behind them by that point. One of my favorite bands.

    This guy has endless knowledge, and he didn't slag anything. His own family tree confuses me to bits - The Byrds, Dylan. The Band, CSN&Y... need to consult my Pete Frame books. He admitted being influenced by Dylan, and I like that. Thanks for these fantastic videos! Glad we're getting up to the '70s now, as I became aware of artistes and repertoire around that time (born in '61). Blessings.🙂

    May 71 was the end of my first year of university. The air was full of folk music and Carole King and Tapestry, everybody that I knew had excellent stereo systems, there were TAndberb real to reals and TEAC's and all the best equipment. The music sounded phenomenal. I don't know how it can be repeated. The Byrds, Gram Parsons, Flying Burrito Brothers, Bob Dylan, CCR. What else can I say.

    What is immediately striking is how much the musical landscape has changed in the early 1970s! Roger McGuin reviewed very well and with humour. "Cowbow sound like a cross between Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young" 😅 And about "Big Queen" by Mick Abrahams: "It didn't get off. I'll give it 69" 😂 I see that in the single and album charts "Brown Sugar" and "Sticky Fingers" did a very great job! As you would expect from the Rolling Stones in their heyday 😛! Thanks also for your mesmerizing "Moonlight Mile" outro!!! Cheers!

    The Byrds can do no wrong IMO and Roger is the man. I'm finishing up an article titled Starting a Jamaican Music Collection Part 3b--The Deejays. The Start of Rap? and wrote about how the British kids embraced early reggae much earlier than the American kids did. See Double Barrel in the top 3 on the Brit singles chart. That would never happen in America. And between 1968 and 1971 there were 20 reggae singles on the Brit charts. The skinheads there embraced this wonderful music.

    Near the top of the Singles chart was “Indiana wants me” by one of the first white artist to be signed to Motown, R Dean Taylor. The ending of the song has a standoff complete with gunshots and sirens. In the United States they had to release a second version without the gunshots and sirens because people who were listening to the song in their car would all of a sudden turned to the side of the road, terrified, thinking they were being pulled over or shot at!

    Laura Nyro broke all the songwriting rules and had more ideas in one song than others would have on a whole album, which is partly why dhe was so influential. Her art pop 1968 LP, the revolutionary Eli and the Thirteenth Confession is arguably the first progressive album for its complexity, virtuosity, innovation and concept. She was still a teenager. David Geffen saw her genius and snapped her up as his first artist under management and by 1969 she made him a millionaire. She was supposed to be the first Asylum artist, but she stayed with Columbia since they had been so good to her. Geffen cried for days. Nyro features heavily in the documentary Inventing David Geffen. She passed in 1997 from ovarian cancer.

    Does anyone know if the band Cowboy mentioned here is the same band that recorded the beautiful “Please Be With Me” in 1971? The song was penned by founding Cowboy member Scott Boyer and a particularly lovely version featured Duane Allman (accompanying Cowboy) playing slide on a Dobro. The song was also covered by Eric Clapton on his 461 Ocean Boulevard album and EC’s is perhaps the version most listeners are familiar with. What about you YP, any idea? Thanks in advance.

    @@YesterdaysPapers ……thanks YP. It only dawned on me long after I’d commented yesterday, that it very likely was the same band. I’ve always thought PBWM was a beautiful song but I rarely hear mention of the band Cowboy. It’s little snippets of trivia like this that I find so fascinating and that consequently, render your videos compulsory viewing!
