ROCK CALENDAR: December 4, 1965 The Byrds - 1st place on the American chart with the song " Turn! Turn! Turn!»
It's time to talk about the bright American band The Byrds, founded in 1964 in Los Angeles. The group was distinguished by a clean guitar sound and a penchant for country style sloping rock (or Vice versa). Melodious songs, steady beat, recognizable sound of the guitar, proper construction vocals - not so much in professional rock musicians.
"The Byrds" was a popular and influential group in the mid-1960s to early 1970s. Then came the mess with the change of leaders, trends, repertoire and group lost herself along the way came to nothing.
