![The Notorious Byrd Brothers (Reissue Edition with Bonus Tracks)](/assets/artwork/1x1.gif)
The Byrds started recording this 1968 album with four members and ended up with two, but the internal turmoil isn’t reflected in the harmonious songs and adventurous spirit. While there’s a golden glow to the nostalgic reverie of “Goin’ Back” and country picking of “You Ain’t Going Nowhere”, the group also push boundaries: “Artificial Energy” soundtracks a drug trip with blaring horns and phased guitars. And on the anti-conscription song “Draft Morning”, tinkling instrumentation and gentle vocals run into careening brass and gunfire sound effects.
