Things got wonderfully strange when California hippies fell in love with country music. The Byrds' 1968 album Sweetheart of the Rodeo, instigated by new member Gram Parsons, arguably did the most to bring the two worlds together; soon like-minded Texas freaks were coming to town. Along with classics by Bobbie Gentry and The Grateful Dead, this playlist includes rarities like Nancy Sinatra covering a Delaney & Bonnie song.
