Other Sounds of the ’60s
At pretty much the same time that acid rock flourished, softer, sweeter music also became popular. It was called folk rock. It took old folk songs, then added electric guitar, some tambourines, and harmonica to make a new sound. Listen to the Byrds’ cover of Bob Dylan’s “Mr. Tambourine Man” and “My Back Pages.”
The Byrds
Country rock used some country music instruments, like the pedal-steel guitar, mandolin, and fiddle. Gram Parsons, who was briefly in the Byrds, is often credited with getting country rock started with a band called the Flying Burrito Brothers. He was an exceptionally gifted songwriter whose career was cut short by a drug overdose in 1973. He was twenty-six.
