Released on June 21, 1965, the Byrds’ debut album, Mr. Tambourine
Man, marked the beginning of the folk-rock revolution. In just a few months, the Byrds had become a household name, with a #1 single
and a smash-hit album that married the ringing guitars and backbeat
of the British Invasion with the harmonies and lyrical depth of folk to create an entirely new sound.
