The Profile

American singer-guitarist and co-founder of The Byrds, celebrated for the chiming 12‑string Rickenbacker sound that helped define folk rock and country rock. Beyond The Byrds, he maintained a solo career (notably Back From Rio) and launched the long-running Folk Den project.

Co-founder and frontman of The Byrds; signature 12-string Rickenbacker jangle; member of Bob Dylan’s Rolling Thunder Revue; Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee (with The Byrds, 1991); active solo artist with projects like Back From Rio and the Folk Den.

Four reviews chart McGuinn’s 1970s solo run. The eponymous debut shows range but uneven depth; Peace on You folds gospel/soul into folk-rock with heavy outside input. Roger McGuinn & Band is competent yet thin on new McGuinn material. Cardiff Rose, powered by Mick Ronson, is the most adventurous. Thunderbyrd, cover-heavy and rushed, is panned.
