the Byrds -1965- Mr. Tambourine Man

published: 31/05/2016

"Mr. Tambourine Man" is one of those few songs that has equally become a huge hit, both for its original composer (Bob Dylan), and as a cover song (by the Byrds).
It's even more unique in that it's actually the Byrds who released it first, thus giving its first public exposure.

Through this song, and through the whole album which shares its name, the Byrds have invented and defined what folk-rock is, back in 1965.
By electrifying folk songs. By blending choruses along with the lead singer. By adding this sweet californian sound.

Let's have a sweet time here on the west coast with "Mr. Tambourine Man" by the Byrds.
