Tambourine Man, marked the beginning of the folk-rock
revolution.
In just a few months, the Byrds had become a household
name, with a number-one 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.
On June 1, 1967, the Beatles released their eighth album,
Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, a concept album
that marked a new creative peak for the Liverpudlian
superstars and that would become a critical favorite in
the history of rock ‘n’ roll.
