Album Number One Hundred Eighty Two. “Dr. Byrds & Mr. Hyde” is the seventh studio album by the Byrds and was released in March 1969 on #columbiarecords . The album was produced by #bobjohnston and saw the band juxtaposing country rock material with psychedelic rock, giving the album a stylistic split-personality that was alluded to in its title. It was the first album to feature the new band line-up of #clarencewhite (guitar), #geneparsons (drums), #johnyork (bass), and founding member #rogermcguinn (guitar). #drbyrdsandmrhyde is unique within the band's discography for being the only album on which McGuinn sings the lead vocal on every track. My copy is on Columbia Records - CS 9755 The album peaked at number 153 on the Billboard Top LPs album chart and reached number 15 on the UK Albums Chart. A preceding single, "Bad Night at the Whiskey" (b/w "Drug Store Truck Drivin' Man"), was released on January 7, 1969, but it failed to chart in the United States or in the United Kingdom. In addition, a non-album single featuring a cover of Bob Dylan's "Lay Lady Lay", which was recorded shortly after the release of Dr. Byrds & Mr. Hyde and also produced by Johnston, peaked at number 132 on the Billboard chart. #rockandroll #thesixties #sixtiesmusic https://www.instagram.com/p/CV5mZLlLCWp/?utm_medium=tumblr
