The Byrds
Tambourine Man interpreters
The Byrds were an American rock band formed in Los Angeles in 1964, pioneers of folk rock and country rock.
Their jangling twelve-string guitar sound and close harmonies influenced countless bands.
Best known for hits like "Mr.
Tambourine Man" and "Turn!
Turn!
Turn!", they bridged Bob Dylan's folk songwriting with the energy of the British Invasion.
