The Byrds - Mr. Tambourine Man (1965) (Remaster Edit 2006)Rockers who invent an entire sound are scarce in any era -- think Chuck Berry's guitar intros or the Ramones' monomaniacal three-chord attack -- but the Byrds can be counted among those few. Their 1965 debut album, MR. TAMBOURINE MAN, is the one that launched a million 12-string guitarists, in the process influencing bands from the Beatles to R.E.M. The title track and debut single featured a studio rhythm section (at the insistence of nervous producer Terry Melcher), but once the song became a worldwide smash and engendered a folk-rock boom, the group insisted on playing and singing every note from then on. The resulting album is one of rock's most accomplished debuts, a fully realized collection of songs held together by Jim (who later renamed himself Roger) McGuinn's majestic Rickenbacker and the group's stunning choir-boy harmonies. High points: singer Gene Clark's proto-power-pop classic "Feel a Whole Lot Better," "Chimes of Freedom," perhaps their best ever Dylan cover, and "The Bells of Rhymney," a mesmeric adaptation of a traditional folk song about a Welsh mining disaster. More than just an album, this was a watershed event...S. Simels
