I love the Byrds, but as songwriters they weren’t the Beatles (except for Gene Clark who departed in 1965). They had their moments, but by 1970 with Roger McGuinn unaided by other songwriters. They made a mistake in removing Gram Parson’s lead vocals from all but 2 cuts. I recommend the Sweetheart bonus tracks album that has both the McGuinn & Parsons lead vocal versions.
