Hilary and Cody talk bout The Byrds' 1968 "Sweetheart of the Rodeo." A different direction for a very different-looking Byrds, this record took the group to Nashville, where they received a...less than warm reception from the local media.
Gram Parsons' influence on this album cannot be overstated, and the result is one of the templates from which country-rock developed.
The reputation and influence of "Sweetheart of the Rodeo" has only grown over time. Whether it's one of the Dylan covers, or the gorgeous Hickory Wind, this record in all of its lap steel glory will have you reminiscing around a campfire that suddenly appears in your living room.
