Coming within a year of their debut album, it's no surprise that The Byrds' second album is so similar in form. Even so, they seemed to have matured enough for this to be a more solid and polished production. My one minor quibble is the choice of some of the material. Gene Clark's songs showed that his contribution to 'Mr Tambourine Man' was no flash in the pan and he quickly developed his own writing style. In addition, the drone effect added to his 'If You're Gone' is eerily effective. Jim McGuinn's songs are also impressive, especially 'It Won't Be Wrong'.
With such fine material coming from within the band, I'd question why they dragged in some of the cover songs. They frequently mined Dylan with success, but I always felt that 'The Times They Are A-Changin'' worked better as a slogan than as a piece of music. 'Lay Down Your Weary Tune' is better and helps to vary the mood, but the traditional songs are unnecessary. The hit title track works well, though it's a bit long and could probably do to lose the ineffectual instrumental break. 'Satisfied Mind', another cover, doesn't really fit here.
The bonus tracks offer more than on other Byrds' reissues and David Crosby's instrumental, 'Stranger In A Strange Land', is a teaser. This is a worthwhile album for anyone who likes The Byrds, even though it lies in the impression made by the previous album.

Some people regard the Byrds as an American version of the Beatles but although there are some similarities, I don't. They didn't write all their own songs and their interest in folk and country music was much greater than that of the Fab Four. This eclectic 1965 album, with added bonus tracks, is a case in point. The line-up for this album, produced by Terry Melcher, was Jim McGuinn, Gene Clark, David Crosby, Chris Hillman and Michael Clarke.
The title track, a huge American pop hit but only a minor UK hit, is a cover of a Pete Seeger song. Pete's song was not really original - he had taken the lyrics from the bible and adapted them to create the song. It had been recorded by several folk singers including Judy Collins, but the Byrds made it into a pop song.
Bob Dylan was a strong influence. The original album contained two of his songs, Lay down your weary tune and The times they are a-changing. You get those here, plus It's all over now baby blue and an alternative version of The times they are a-changing. Dylan was a major influence on Gene Clark, who wrote three songs for the original album plus others that appear as bonus tracks.
The album also includes a cover of Satisfied mind, the first country song to be covered by the Byrds. Satisfied mind was originally a country hit for Porter Wagoner, whose other country hits included Green green grass of home (turned into a pop hit by Tom Jones), but whose most important contribution to popular music was to bring Dolly Parton out of obscurity and make her into a star.
The most unlikely song to be included here is Oh Susannah, the traditional folk song, which the Byrds update nicely for the sixties.
The eclectic nature of this album may not please everybody, but if you have broad musical tastes, this is a real treat. If not, you may find that you like some tracks and not others.

"Turn! Turn! Turn!" was the Byrds' second album and if it is not as good as their debut effort it is simply because this time around the sound was not as fresh. However, the seven bonus tracks with alternative versions and mixes of these songs is enough to ensure this reissue gets a five star rating even if you do think it is a second-level Bryrds album. Then again, the title track on this album is even better than "Mr. Tambourine Man," not only because of the way it sounds but because it is an original rather than a cover of a Dylan song. There are two more of those on this album, "Lay Down Your Weary Tune" and "The Times They Are A-Changing." The most interesting of the bonus tracks is a version of Dylan's "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue"). But this second album focuses more on original material, mainly by Gene Clark, who wrote "Set You Free This Time," "The World Turns All Around Her," and "If You're Gone." However, the most significant track on the album ends up being "Satisifed Mind," which represents the group's shift from folk-rock to country-rock throughout the rest of the Sixties. The Bryds put out six very good albums between 1965 and 1968, a track record that is exceeded only by the Beatles during that period. Consequently, the Byrds are one of the rare groups from the Sixties where you should pick up most of their albums rather than being satisfied with just one of their hits collection.

Was this album any more than "Mr Tambourine Man" Mark 2? Like its predecessor it was based on one "big" number, in this case, "Turn, Turn, Turn" plus a number of others. Read more
