Description
The Notorious Byrd Brothers is a 2007 album by Ric Menck that explores the tumultuous history of The Byrds. In the late 1960s, the band was plagued by internal conflicts and creative differences, leading to the departure of key members. As tensions escalated, Roger McGuinn and Chris Hillman found themselves at odds with David Crosby over songwriting credits and artistic direction. Meanwhile, drummer Michael Clarke struggled to cope with the pressures of the music scene, eventually deciding to leave the band altogether. With the help of producer Gary Usher, McGuinn and Hillman were left to assemble an album that would ultimately become The Notorious Byrd Brothers. This book offers a detailed account of the events leading up to the creation of this influential album, shedding light on the complex relationships and creative decisions that shaped its sound.
