Having assembled a new line-up, Byrds front man Roger McQuinn hit the bull’s eye with Ballad Of Easy Rider in 1969. Except for the title track, the album actually has little in common with the Hippie movement-defining movie Easy Rider.  However, the album profited from its association with the highly successful movie.  Other great tracks are “Jesus Is Just Alright”, the funky “Fido” and “Oil In My Lamp”.  Regarded by many as one of the last great albums from the Byrds (which includes the equally fine Untitled Unissued [MOVLP381] from 1970), Ballad Of Easy Rider is simply a must have for Byrds and Classic Rock fans alike.

Ballad of Easy Rider is available as a limited edition of 1000 individually numbered copies on crystal clear vinyl.
