Me. My brothers and I had a band in 1980 and we did this song a lot. I didn’t even know the name of the song it was just “Easy Chair” on the set list😂
Always
Me.
Me 50+ years after first hearing it
If more people listened this music I'm sure the world would be a little calmer
Roger McGuinns voice is magic
The Byrds fly away with Bobs words and express them with their inspired sound. Great music is created.
Bought the 4 LP version. Cherish it but now i'm sitting here in rehab listening on my phone. It sounds just as good weirdly enough.
Been there. You can crush this. Meanwhile, might as well listen, because you ain't goin' nowhere.
@@thomasbell7033 it's due time. I'm pushing 40 and have a 11 month old daughter. She deserves my best. Thank you.
The Byrds to me are the greatest and most influential American band to come out of the 60s. The people that passed through that band and went on to major success is insane. But what do i know i am from Canada lol. The Band is my countries best. Peace.
Throw in Gram Parsons & Clarence White into their folk-rock mix and VOILA!! A country & western Byrds were born 👍******
EXCELLENT COVER OF THIS EXCELLENT Bob Dylan song, which helps make " Sweet- heart of the Rodeo" one of my favorite albums.✌️
This thematic album from the Byrds was absolutely the origin of country rock as a genre. Although they were advised not to do it, and warned that it would be a commercial and artistic failure which could derail their success as a folk rock band; nonetheless it was pure inspired musical genius and rose quickly in popularity and airplay and propelled the talented Byrds onward. Gram Parsons, thank you.
It started earlier but I think this may well have made it better known. Gram hated the term I heard.
@@maryp9466 and rightly so. Gram Parsons was so far ahead of the curve he could not be boxed or labelled so coarsely as that.
"Sweetheart of the Rodeo" and the Burritos' "Gilded Palace of Sin" are certainly country-rock, thanks to Gram and Chris Hillman. But the Byrds were already dabbling in this sound on "Younger Than Yesterday" in '67, as was Gene Clark's stuff with the Gosdins. And Mike Nesmith's "Papa Gene's Blues" with the Monkees came out in '66. I think Gram Parsons gets too much credit for a lot of others who did the work before him.
@@gregandbonniesullivan8838 No way....Gram was the man!!!!
I’m crying. This song is a revelation.
The best version of this tune. Others fall way short. Including Dylan. In my opinion
Nitty gritty dirt band is a close second.
@@christeldalton6045Nitty Gritty Dirt Band version is my favorite
I agree 💯 Percent and I'm a Loyal Dedicated Fan of Bob Dylan, this is a " Masterpiece" of a Written Song 🎵 by Roger McGwinn.
Let's not forget that Dylan wrote this song, plus Nothing was Delivered. And Tamborine put the Byrds on top.
Let's not forget that Dylan wrote this, and Nothing was Delivered.
Written by Bob Dylan. Roger McGuinn (lead vocal), Lloyd Green (pedal steel guitar), Gram Parsons (organ).
All-star lineup right there. Lloyd was a pedal steel legend in his own right. McGuinn and Parsons obviously need no introduction.
Thank you Gram,Rodger, and Chris .❤️🎸🇺🇸
killer steel guitar throughout the entire album.
Recorded in Nashville. They had several of the top steel players of all time record wiith them on this album!
Roger McGwinn him and Bob Dylan were beasties
charles manson on steel
Lloyd Green and Jaydee Maness played pedal steel on this album.
Such a wonderful song, sounds so good. Simply perfect.
Perfect in my mind too , can hear Gram Parsons genius .
Pure genius. That steel guitar is so damn easy to listen to.
That's a Telecaster with a string bender.
@@chrisrablee4843 JayDee Maness & Lloyd Green
@@chrisrablee4843 It's not, It's a pedal steel
@@chrislarcombemusic8445 NOT A PEDAL STEEL....Do some research.... Clarence White had his very own B-Bender system developed for his 1954 Telecaster.
@@DCornett80 I've done my research thank you sir, and it is infact a pedal steel. Jay Dee Maness and Lloyd Green played steel on this entire album, as well as Clarence. Clarence only features on a few tracks, and didn't have the string-bender eqipped on his tele at the time of the recording. The first official track that the string-bender/B-Bender appears on is the Byrds' track 'Old Blue' from the Dr Byrds and Mr Hyde album, released the year after.
Absolutley brilliant track from a sensational band that have helped me so much through my dark times. Thankyou The Byrds x

this was played daily on grandpa's ranch in socorro
And STILL helping us out!
@@timjohnson1199 Yes. One of my favourite bands in this genre.
This is some damn good country
Great album, listened to this hours at a time. one of the best albums of all time.
My favourite song from way back when. Back then didn't have a clue who Gram Parsons was. Boy have I learned!
I am! Pure joy - no gimmicks.
"Sweetheart.." is soooooo brilliant !
Love this LP -Wunderbar !!!
Greetings from Germany,
B.L.
Nice Texas 2-step on this number. Not bad for a Genuine Rock band!
The Byrds were so versatile with their music. Sometimes it's easy listening and other times I have to get up and dance, but I'm always singing along like I'm part of the scene.
Everyone that GP met in the late 60s recorded a country album haha. Can't overstate his importance to music in general
His enthusiasm for country music was contagious. He would haul his records around and play them even when people didn't want to hear them. "But it's so white, Gram." "But we are white." He heard the soul in it. @@nickpatrick7021
It's a proud moment for me. My 10yr old son was just humming this song, and wanted me to pull it up on youtube.
Wonderful! He’s got great taste!
No substitute for a good education. Well done dad.
So sweet!!!!
You're kids a genius. Raise his allowance.
@Fritoburgers
He Is, and I have. He completed this year at 12yrs old against high schoolers on Pi day (3/14) in reciting digits of Pi. He won with 200 digits by memory.
I have been trying to recall this song title for a few years and was listening to the byrds version of mr tambourine man today and it just popped right in my head. This song reminds me so incredibly much of an ex boyfriend who was so wrong for me but had these incredible sensibilities at times. He was also very emotionally moved by music, a trait that I inherited from and heavily associate with my late father. Anyway this is a little masterpiece and I’m happy to have rediscovered it.
I believe the Byrds sang this song at Woodstock. Lyrics by Bob Dylan. A lot of musicians benefited from his songs. I don't think he minded their covers were more popular than his version. He just counted the stacks of money!
Random but your name reminded me of this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phaedrus_(dialogue)
abstractly related!
@@kaimarmalade9660 The name reminded me of the song Phaedra by Lee Hazelwood and Nancy Sinatra. A very trippy song. Edit: Sorry the name of the song is Some Velvet Morning. Some velvet morning when I'm straight/I'm gonna open up your gate/and maybe tell you about Phaedra.
Thank you Bob Dylan for writing this (and many other) great songs, and thank-you to the Byrds for covering it. You did a great job 👍
Este disco no me cansa nunca ...me fascina
It sounds like Dylan wrote it, but it sounds MUCH better than if he'd sung it!
@@ORflycaster I do like the Byrds but also a sucker for Dylan's music. His lyrics are so amazing to me that it wipes out any criticism I can make about his singing voice, although I know it isn't to everybody's taste.
Dylan could sure write but I love others doing the singing
If Whitney Houston were covering his songs, all the nuance of the lyric would be taken out and you would left with a bland commercial nothingness.
This just catapulted me back to my childhood. My dad loved this song. I miss him so much
RIP. it's a beautiful song from well before my time.
Truly a timeless masterpiece
Clouds so swift
Rain won't lift
Gate won't close
Railings froze
Get your mind off wintertime
You ain't goin' nowhere
Whoo-ee ride me high
Tomorrow's the day
My bride's gonna come
Oh, oh are we gonna fly
Down in the easy chair
I don't care How many letters they send
Morning came and morning went
Pack up your money
Pick up your tent
You ain't goin' nowhere
Buy me a flute
And a gun that shoots
Tailgates and substitutes
Strap yourself To a tree with roots
You ain't goin' nowhere
Now Genghis Kahn
He could not keep
All his kings
Supplied with sleep
We'll climb that hill no matter how steep
When we get up to it
🌕🌵🔥🦋
Mistake in the lyrics. Pick up your money. Pack up your tent. Roger screwed it up and got called out for it by Dylan.
The album in a fire that I would save!👍😀
Can anyone STAY STILL when listing to this, lovely lilting song. I sway from side to side, even while typing this comment. FANTASTIC.
This album is claimed by some to be the beginning of country rock as a genre.
Hugh Jass let's remember gram parsons .
It sure is!
Poco beat them to it but ya they went in a country direction,
@@curttota this album is from 68,Poco first album is 69.
@@curttota Sorry but too late Poco was 1969...Dr. Byrds and Mr. Hyde beat them too it.
Still one of my favorites.
Am having debates on FB groups, I consider this one of the best country albums ever. I didn’t say country rock, I said country period. I loved it in ‘68, loved it now. Thank McGuinn and parsons.
I have to admit, that I am not much into country music. I came here because I watched the Ken Burns documentary (just because I like his storytelling), and I have listened to this album several times since. Maybe it's me, but I don't understand all of the negative comments on it. Granted, this album came out when I was only a year old, so I really have no real conception of The Byrds other than what you normally hear on the radio all the time. Funny thing is that I also re-purchased a book called North Dallas Forty by Peter Gent. Hadn't read that book in nearly 40 years. Phil Elliot (main character in a first-person narrative) mentions listening to it several times throughout. Not for nothing, but I like this album.
The ideal amount of steel guitar for me 👌
You don't think it needs more cow bell, do you?
One of my favorite Birds albums! Brings me!
One of the Byrds' best Bob Dylan cover songs. All of their covers of Dylan could easily be compiled into an album and it would make a killer set.
There was an album called The Byrds play Dylan
@@eoinhurley3397 In fact, that compilation has been reissued on CD.
I wish country music was like this today
Listen to Outlaw Country. Sirius has a good station. It’s still out there. Check out Billy Strings. Blackberry Smoke, Shiny Ribs, Cody Jinks.
They wished it was back then also
It is if you want it to be. ♥
Cant stand todays country music.. I'll take the Byrds, Poco, the rest of the late 60s spinoffs as well as original Blue Grass such as Earl Scruggs,etc
Just need to know where to look.
Orville Peck, Sturgill Simpson, Gillian Welch, Marlon Williams. All indie stuff but all great.
1rst band to do an actuaul psych song and counttry song before its time.
The first time I heard this record it was like an epithany. It still is every time I hear this.
Ladies and gentlemen: here's country rock🎉
amazing they were booed off The Grand Ol Opry, the Birds were a rock band that leaned towards country roots. Their version of a Dylan song probably how Bob wanted it to be sung.
Aah; just love this song ; its a treasure song ; sits with “wasnt born to follow “and “farther along “ as my fave Byrds tracks ! Way down in Tasmania,it seemed every new Byrds album also “represented “ my own changes/growth!
The Eagles were beholden for life to this album and anything Graham Parsons and strangly their erudite fan base has no idea. Ole Don and Glen came up with it one morning in Bakersfield.
Shabby eagles catalog reliant on a semi unknown beautiful piece of history. Lost in the interpretation in there someplace.
love finding these lost relics
When I finally got both G/B-bender on my Telecaster, this was first song what I trying to learn.
Haha me too
Haha me 3
This is my 2nd favorite Byrds album after their 1st album "Mr. Tambourine Man"....
ogrebattle22763 but this is more county rock, more like the early Eagles...so do you like the Eagles as well?
@@mickfunny4185 Yes I do...
I heard about this CD on the Ken Burns documentary. Not a big fan of country music, but I like his storytelling. I asked for this CD for my birthday. Fuck the critics.
Fabulous arrangement of one of Dylan's most romantic and uplifting songs! Always loved CSN harmony and arrangements.
Country rock damn sure didn't start with the Eagles!!! Gram Parsons lives!!!
Agreed!!
You got it Brother
Yes sir!
Gee thanks, Byrds.
Y'all gotta spit on th'floor & step on it when y'say "Th'Eagles," 'specially compared to this record.
They had a wonderful talent at choosing the songs to cover!
I just watched the segment on Ken Burns 'Country Music' about the recording of this album. They were invited to play at the Grand Ole Opry, and being a rock band and more hippy looking - or whatever combination of southern prejudice it was - the audience booed them. Well screw you too Nashville audiences.
Great song from the Byrds.
+Frank Hewitt via Bob Dylan :)
@@rtcastleberry Calm down, you slob. It bothered you that much, that he didn't mention Dylan???
But you seems to be triggered, not him.
Thank you Gram Parsons for the Influence
Otro sensacional álbum de The Byrds.
Esto es Country cósmico . G. P. y Gene Clark , ... grabaron canciones eternas .
I bought this album mainly for this song.
It is written that Mr. Parsons could sing and write songs of Christian values while not being particularly observant himself: a common dichotomy of life.
Can't stop listening to this song
The Byrds Bob Dylan cover! Nice! --don
Keeping me strong during hard times
Monster country album!
beautiful song ❤
Love Roger's vocals
Luv ❤️😘 my folk's
Clarence White's B-Bender makes this song!
Chris Hillman is a SoCal music legend...
Love this song
Such a great song!
Who listening to this in 2022???????????
How about 2024?
You just did.
I agree. The new riders, the dead and many others . Jerry Garcia was on pedalsteel with so many new country rock bands..
irresistible! (for all time)
I love the imagery in this song
Superb
Made me smile :)(: ThankU B.Man ~!!~
I've enjoyed the Byrd's throughout their career & my life. Thank you, Roger McGwinn! The only regret I have is that I never had the chance to see them live.
Don't forget Chris Hillman
Really says it all...mmm...🤓♀️❣️
nice country music
Awwww. Still love this one.
The Byrds at this point in their career must have dealt the artistic exploration card. Going from full on rock to embracing Country.......

最高ですよね🙋
バーズだからまた余計に最高❤大好き💓♥️❤️
With love ♥️🌻
Wow haven’t heard this song in years!
still sounds great in 2023
Preciosidade. Brasil na escuta
Re-Chorded this for my own vocal rang in G Major to perform at small Open Mic & Pub Jam Nites. Dang! Can't help singing in a soft Californian accent!
Seminal......that's good!
Well, now I know where the Crosby, Stills, and Nash sound came from. You hear it in the very first chorus.
Vaya joya de la música popular americana.Sobran las palabras. Hey you americans, yours middle level is "minus" than zero.
Just think without this album Grateful Dead "American Beauty" would never have existed. Gram made the Dead better than they were. He made a lot of people better than they were.
I'll put you behind me on My horse 🕊
Oh Henry,I'm sorry to hear that about your Dad. You can't be too careful...
My Dad is Roger McGuinn, thugs from the Philippines have been Gang Stalking and Electrically Harassing the Sweetheart Of The Rodeo Tour!
Wow, sorry to hear that. Hope things turned out ok. I think your Dad had one of the greatest singing voices and song writer. Its great to sing along with him. Send my love to your family. Cheers.
A couple of years ago I saw An Evening With Roger McGuinn in my hometown Groningen, Holland. He still is great, I enjoyed ik very much!
Oh my, what are you talking about?
im only 17, and in love with your father's music!
don't think i even need to say how i wish i was you...
FM radio was a new thing, and I was young.
"please used-vinyl universal energies, give me the press Im looking for of this sweetheart"
which press are you looking for?
This song was about healing. The question is who is going to do the album that tries to heal us today, 2018?
Jason Isbell of course
Bob Dylan of course
Robert Zimmerman sent me here...📻 🎼🎵🎶
