Neil Young & The Mynah Byrds - 1966 - Studio Outtakes
The Mynah Birds were a Canadian R&B band based in Toronto, Ontario in the 1960s. Although the band never released an album, it is famous as one of the earliest efforts of a number of musicians who went on to be successful. The Mynah Birds grew out of a 1964 group called the Sailorboys, fronted by Jimmy Livingstone and also including guitarist Ian Goble, drummer Rick Cameron, organist Goldy McJohn and bass player Nick St. Nicholas, soon joined by Rick James. Over its short lifespan, the group featured a large number of artists in its many different configurations. Its most memorable lineup included future funk star Rick James, Rickman Mason, John Taylor and future folk rock music stars Neil Young and Bruce Palmer, both of whom went on to form Buffalo Springfield. McJohn and St. Nicholas would later become members of the rock band Steppenwolf. Also, a late-running 1967 version of The Mynah Birds featured heavy rocker Neil Merryweather. The songs were recorded at Goldstar Studio, Detroit, January or February 1966, and a bootleg titled The Lost Recordings was released. 01 - It's My Time 02 - I'll Wait Forever 03 - Masquerade 04 - Masquerade 05 - Fantasy 06 - I've Got You In My Soul 07 - Go On And Cry LINK
