Jackie & the Byrds
5. november 2010
Det sker, man falder over obskure pladeudgivelser, der viser sig at være mere end almindeligt interessante. Det har været tilfældet med de to opsamlinger Byrd Parts I og II, som indholder “Oddities, Curios, Rarities & Essentials” med The Byrds fra tresserne og to årtier frem. En oversigt over indholdet af Vol. I fortæller lidt om, hvad man kan finde af feinschmeckersager:

Et virkeligt scoop på vol. I er The Byrds som backingband for sangerinden og sangskriveren Jackie DeShannon i hendes fine tresserballade “Splendor in the Grass”. Byrds med forsangerinde! Det burde have været et hit…
Selv om Jackie DeShannon har nået pensionsalderen (f. 1944), så kan hun altså stadigvæk både synge og føre sig frem på en scene…
