Fifty years ago the Byrds were in
Nashville recording “Sweetheart of the Rodeo”, having been
influenced by the country roots of Gram Parsons who joined after the
departure of David Crosby.
Country Rock's birth happened and
although it took decades this album is now considered one of the most
influential for the “Americana” genre today. To celebrate it's
50th anniversary Roger McGuinn and Chris Hillman joined
forces with Marty Stuart and his Fabulous Superlatives (“cousin”
Kenny Vaughn, “handsome” Harry Stinson, and Chris Scruggs) to
perform not just the songs from album but also legendary songs from
the Byrds catalog of hits along with a special nod to Tom Petty with
whom all had collaborated.
