The Byrds - 1967 - Younger Than Yesterday
Younger Than Yesterday is the fourth album by the American rock band The Byrds and was released in February 1967 on Columbia Records. The album saw the band continuing to integrate elements of psychedelic rock into their music, a process they had begun on their previous LP. In addition, the album captured the band experimenting with new musical textures, including brass instruments and reverse tape effects. It also marked the emergence of the band's bass player, Chris Hillman, as the group's third songwriter. Two of Hillman's compositions on Younger Than Yesterday exhibited country and western influences and thus, can be seen as early indicators of the country rock direction the band would pursue on their later albums. The title of Younger Than Yesterday is derived from the lyrics of "My Back Pages", a song written by Bob Dylan which was covered on the album. Younger Than Yesterday peaked at #24 on the Billboard Top LPs chart and reached #37 on the UK Albums Chart. 01 - So You Want To Be A Rock 'N' Roll Star 02 - Have You Seen Her Face 03 - C.T.A.-102 04 - Renaissance Fair 05 - Time Between 06 - Everybody's Been Burned 07 - Thoughts And Words 08 - Mind Gardens 09 - My Back Pages 10 - Girl With No Name LINK
