The fifty-seventh album: #57 The Byrds - Mr Tambourine Man
There's something really pleasant about this album. It's folk rock, with songs written by Bob Dylan but a fuller sound to the songs, the instruments added more rhythm to it. At the same time, the arrangements aren't as complex as, for example, I'm getting used to from the Beatles. The Byrds are in a good middleground, with lyrics that feel smarter but songs that are enjoyable to listen to. That's the crux of it, really. The songs are happy and upbeat and made me feel good, even if they're a bit sadder. It works well.
