The Byrds were an influential American rock band formed in Los Angeles, California, in 1964. They are best known for pioneering folk rock, psychedelic rock, and country rock, blending jangly 12-string guitar, harmonized vocals, and thoughtful lyrics.
Sweetheart of the Rodeo is the sixth studio album by The Byrds, released in August 1968. It is widely regarded as one of the first country rock albums, marking a significant shift from the band's earlier psychedelic rock sound.
