SO YOU WANT TO BE A ROCK'N'ROLL STAR - THE BYRDS DAY-BY-DAY 1965-1973 by Christopher Hjort: The Byrds were one of the '60s most influential bands. After virtually inventing folk-rock they pioneered psychedelia and country-rock, and were even the first rock band to use synthesizers. Their story is unravelled here, in a day-by-day format, from the band's breakthrough in 1965 to the brief reunion of the original line-up in 1973. Drawing together eye witness accounts, press reports, concert reviews, set lists, tour dates and gig locations, record releases and reviews, recording studio data, and contemporary interviews - not to mention a wealth of previously unseen photos - it is a gripping chronicle of the life and times of this seminal band. 336 pp.
