Notes: Sweetheart of the Rodeo is the sixth album by The Byrds and was released on August 30, 1968. Recorded with the addition of country rock pioneer Gram Parsons (who had left the band by the time of the LP's release), it was influential as the first major country rock album by an established act, and represented a stylistic move away from the psychedelic rock of the band's previous LPs. The album was initially conceived as a musical history of 20th century American popular music, encompassing examples of country music, jazz and rhythm and blues, among other genres.However, steered by the passion of the little-known Parsons, who had only joined The Byrds in February 1968, this proposed concept was abandoned early on and the album instead became purely a country record. The recording of the album was divided between sessions in Nashville and Los Angeles. The album received mostly positive reviews in the music press, but the band's shift away from psychedelic music alienated much of its pop audience. Despite being the most commercially unsuccessful Byrds' album to date upon its initial release, Sweetheart of the Rodeo is today considered to be a seminal and highly influential country rock album.
