Greatest Hits

by The Byrds

Greatest Hits cover art

Released at the absolute peak of the band's initial cultural influence, this compilation chronicles the stunning early evolution of the architects of American folk-rock. The sequence bridges their revolutionary, electric re-interpretations of Bob Dylan anthems with the pioneering, heavily distorted psychedelic exploration of 'Eight Miles High'. It stands as a flawless snapshot of The Byrds before internal turmoil led to their transition into country-rock pioneers.
