The
Notorious Byrd Brothers is the fifth album by the American rock band
the Byrds, and was released in January 1968, on Columbia Records. The
album represents the pinnacle of the Byrds' late-'60s musical
experimentation, with the band blending together elements of
psychedelia, folk rock, country, electronic music, baroque pop, and
jazz. With producer Gary Usher, they made extensive use of a number of
studio effects and production techniques, including phasing, flanging,
and spatial panning. The Byrds also introduced the sound of the pedal
steel guitar and the Moog modular synthesizer into their music, making
it one of the first LP releases on which the Moog appears.
Recording
sessions for The Notorious Byrd Brothers took place throughout the
latter half of 1967 and were fraught with tension, resulting in the loss
of two members of the band; rhythm guitarist David Crosby was fired in
October 1967 and drummer Michael Clarke left the sessions midway through
recording, returning briefly before finally being dismissed after
completion of the album. Additionally, original band member Gene Clark,
who had left the group in early 1966, rejoined for three weeks during
the making of the album, before leaving again. Author Ric Menck has
commented that in spite of these changes in personnel and the conflict
surrounding its creation, The Notorious Byrd Brothers is the band's most
cohesive and ethereal-sounding album statement.
The Notorious Byrd
Brothers reached number 47 on the Billboard Top LPs chart and number 12
on the UK Album Chart. A cover of the Gerry Goffin and Carole King song
"Goin' Back" was released in October 1967 as the lead single from the
album to mild chart success. Although The Notorious Byrd Brothers was
critically praised at the time of its release, it was only moderately
successful commercially, particularly in the United States. The album
later came to be widely regarded as one of the Byrds' best album
releases, as well as their most experimental and progressive. Byrds
expert Tim Connors has described the album's title as evoking a gang of
outlaws from the American Old West.
