 In June 1971, unbeknownst to the musicians and later, when it was too late, against their expressed will, 'Byrdmaniax' was born, the first 'black' album of the Byrds.

 To blues it, to dip it in sepia black, to further stuff such inevitably and irreversibly 'white' songs means to sully them, although there is no potential masterpiece at stake here.

 Explore the story behind The Byrds' Byrdmaniax and discover why this album remains a divisive classic in country rock history.

Citizen Kane (02:37)
Written by Skip Battin and Kim Fowley Fat ugly fat man swam In a red tire made of stone, A painted lady paddled next to him With two poodles on her lap. Garbo quietly picked a flower While the chauffeur won his check again, And Barrymore took a noon day nap And diamonds fell like rain. Cisco Kid had a bald-headed waitress Trapped 'neath a bed of brass. The French cook served them chocolate ants And some cold cuts on the grass. Louella ripped her zebra pants In the Polo Lounge And Errol Flynn was not let in Cause he was coming down Up in Xanadu diamonds fell like rain. Citizen Kane was king, poor Citizen Kane! Valentino suddenly appeared In his midnight blue tuxedo Had a falcon on his shoulder Eating chicken from his hands, And Fatty Arbuckle waddled by On way to the bath house green. Frankenstein ate the leading lady And licked the carcass clean Up in Xanadu diamonds fell like rain Citizen Kane was king, poor Citizen Kane

Jamaica was the lovely one, I played her well
As we lay in the tall grass where the shadows fell

The Byrds

The Byrds were an American band formed in Los Angeles in 1964, widely credited with shaping folk rock via Roger McGuinn’s 12-string Rickenbacker sound and electric interpretations of Bob Dylan. Their catalog is frequently discussed as moving from early folk-rock hits into psychedelia and later country-rock, notably on “Sweetheart of the Rodeo” with Gram Parsons.
