Johannes in retroland

The Byrds were the first American supergroup. The combination of Roger McGuinn’s ringing 12-string Rickenbacker guitar, Gene Clark’s poetry, David Crosby’s harmonies, Chris Hillman’s bluegrass-influenced bass playing and Michael Clarke’s enthusiastic drumming ushered in a new era of Rock ‘n’ Roll. A music that changed the way we felt and thought and looked at ourselves and each other.
