Full Circle

Post by royclough »

When The Byrds first hit the music scene back in the 60s some pundits felt their early releases were Searchers influenced.

I myself though a massive of The Searchers remain unconvinced, however many years later Roger McQuinn did acknowledge that the "jangly" guitar sound of the Searchers did influence them a bit.

So to quote a Byrds album here is The Searchers today performing Mr Tambourine Man

Also, Chris Hillman of The Byrds paid tribute to The Searchers when he recorded "When You Walk in the Room" for his "Like A Hurricane" album.
