The one hundred thirty-third album: #133 The Byrds - Sweetheart of the Rodeo

I appreciated the Byrds' psychedelic folk rock a few months ago, but at this point in their career they'd made a shift into country, pushing forward to country rock. I'm not sure it's for me - the steel sound of country hasn't been the most appealing to me and I've preferred what rock shifted into. The bluesy numbers suffer most, lacking energy and not connecting with me at the moment. When it goes a bit more towards rock it works better, but I don't feel the shift has been worth it for them.
