CD Reviews

Interesting beginnings of "Folk Rock"

Thomas Buchanan | California | 12/12/2007

(5 out of 5 stars)

"These tracks include some of the first applications of rock to folk songs. These include David Crosby and Dino Valenti There are early Bluegrass versions of Dylan songs by The Hillman as well as "Bluegrass Rock" by the Dillards Also included are four early Byrd tracks which include an early version of their No. 1 Hit Mr. Tambourine Man. A rare gem by Hamilton Camp backed by Byrds McGuinn, Hillman & Clarke closes the album. There are other interesting tracks for those that enjoy this genre."
