The Byrds – Untitled

The Byrds released this double album in 1970, selling a live album and one recorded in a studio for the price of a single LP. Its a very folk-rock album, with a 16 minute live performance of Eight Miles High, and the studio album is composed of leftovers for a country-rock performance of Peer Gynt. The Byrds characteristic sound is in evidence, though its high concept origins give some idea about the ambition of The Byrds at this point. Chestnut Mare and Just A Season are highlights, and an entire side of an album devoted to an Eight Miles High jam may or may not be your thing but is definitely one of the more interesting parts.
