The Byrds David Crosby backstage on telephone 1960's Original 35mm Camera Negative - A wonderful and unique 'one of a kind' original 35mm camera negative of the legendary David Crosby backstage whilst in the band 'The Byrds' circa 1966. - - The Byrds were an influential American rock band that emerged during the mid-1960s and played a significant role in the development of folk rock and psychedelic rock. Formed in Los Angeles in 1964, the group was known for their harmonious vocal arrangements, innovative use of electric twelve-string guitars, and socially conscious lyrics. The original lineup consisted of Jim McGuinn (later known as Roger McGuinn), Gene Clark, David Crosby, Chris Hillman, and Michael Clarke. Their early sound was characterized by blending folk music with the emerging rock 'n' roll scene, resulting in hits like "Mr. Tambourine Man" (a Bob Dylan cover) and "Turn! Turn! Turn!" (adapted from the Book of Ecclesiastes). These songs showcased their signature jangly guitar sound and harmonies. The Byrds were notable for popularizing the work of Bob Dylan by covering his songs and introducing them to a wider audience. They also played a pivotal role in the fusion of folk, rock, and country music, which laid the foundation for the folk rock genre. As time went on, the band's lineup experienced changes, with Gene Clark departing and David Crosby eventually being replaced by Gram Parsons. During the late 1960s, The Byrds underwent a musical transformation, exploring more psychedelic and experimental sounds. Their album "The Notorious Byrd Brothers" (1968) is an example of this shift. However, internal conflicts and changing musical trends led to the eventual dissolution of the classic lineup. Despite the lineup changes and internal struggles, The Byrds left a lasting impact on the music scene, influencing countless bands and artists. Their innovative sound and incorporation of diverse musical elements continue to inspire musicians to this day. The Byrds' legacy includes their contributions to folk rock, their role in popularizing Bob Dylan's music, and their experimentation with psychedelic sounds, all of which have cemented their place in the history of rock music.This is an original studio or photographer's 35 mm black and white photographic negative from our historic archive.
