About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Younger Than Yesterday was somewhat overlooked at the time of its release during an intensely competitive era that found the Byrds on a commercial downslide. However, time has shown it to be the most durable of the Byrds' albums, with the exception of Mr. Tambourine Man. David Crosby, Roger McGuinn, and especially Chris Hillman come into their own as songwriters on an eclectic but focused set blending folk-rock, psychedelia, and early country-rock. The sardonic "So You Want to Be a Rock & Roll Star" was a terrific single; "My Back Pages," also a small hit, was the last of their classic Dylan covers; "Thoughts and Words," the flower-power anthem "Renaissance Fair," "Have You Seen Her Face," and the bluegrass-tinged "Time Between" are all among their best songs. The jazzy "Everybody's Been Burned" may be Crosby's best composition, although his "Mind Gardens" is one of his most excessive. [The CD reissue has six bonus tracks, including the fine Crosby-penned single "Lady Friend," and notably different alternate versions of "Mind Gardens" and "My Back Pages."] Richie Unterberger, All Music Guide

The Byrd's Bestby JohnQ

July 25, 2009: First, look for the CD that has the 6 bonus tracks (and not the overpriced Japan version) which dont seem to be included with this CD. But with or without the bonus tracks, this is the best album the Byrd's ever made, and almost all of their albums are 5 star classics.

The Byrds flying Higher Than Everby Anonymous

October 16, 2001: Arguably the best rock album ever made, Younger Than Yesterday finds the Byrds at their peak of creativity. Rather than naming all of the good songs, it would be easier to name the only bad one, David Crosby's ''Mind Gardens,'' which he admitted was experimental, particularly in that he deliberately put no rhythym in the song. Every other song is sheer musical genius, well beyond any other band's at that time, including the Beatles. From the satiric ''So You Want to Be a Rock 'N' Roll Star'' to the breathtaking ''Thoughts and Words'' and the dream-like ''Renaissance Fair,'' Younger Than Yesterday represents the rock era at is best and most competitive.
