The Byrds - "Fifth Dimension"
I've been letting this slide a bit lately. For those who were anxiously awaiting an update, I present….
 The Byrds - Fifth Dimension Fantastic album. Love the classic '60s twelve-string guitar work. The Byrds are lauded for their harmonies, and they were never more evident than in "Eight Miles High", which is the strongest track, and the Byrds' best original song, in my opinion. The only beef I have is with Jim McGuinn's voice. It has a nasal quality that is nice as a novelty on a couple songs, but begins to grate on me over the course of an entire album. Ultimately, Fifth Dimension will be a part of my regular rotation for the forseeable future. Favourite tracks: Eight Miles High, Mr. Spaceman, Hey Joe (which is a nice change from the Leaves' and Jimi's versions!) Shout-outs go to Neapolitan, who responded to my request for a Byrds recommendation, and to Unknown Soldier, who recommended the Byrds, albeit after I'd already decided to check them out. Thanks to both of you guys. I think I'm going to break free of my schedule and just write mini-reviews of folk albums of a wide variety. I've been in a musical slump lately, but there's an ace up my sleeve….

Wait, wait, wait. Are you saying that you'd never heard The Byrds before? They should be one of your favourite bands..! I'm going to check that album out, as I've heard Mr. Tambourine Man and love the jingle-jangly guitars.

It looks like you already have a lot on your musical plate but I just can't resist throwing out a few of my all-time favorites for you to check out. Hopefully you haven't heard any of them yet.
Fred Neil - Fred Neil (1966) Fotheringay - Fotheringay (1970) Linda Perhacs - Parallelograms (1970) Dando Shaft – An Evening With Dando Shaft (1970) So much music... so little time.
