Age has brought a timely resonance to these tunes, which wasn't possible when the guys singing were still in their 20s.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e-Dallas Observer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eIn 2018, Byrds co-founders Roger McGuinn and Chris Hillman teamed up with country and bluegrass star Marty Stuart and His Fabulous Superlatives for a 50th-anniversary salute to the Byrds' watershed 1968 album \"Sweetheart of the Rodeo,\" a work that helped usher in the whole genre of country-rock music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003eRoger McGuinn, Chris Hillman, and Marty Stuart And His Fabulous Superlatives Celebrate The 50th Anniversary Of \"Sweetheart Of The Rodeo\" on Friday Music, featured on a stunning 2 Lp Gold Vinyl Set, which includes tour photos \u0026amp; the historic Jo Mora \"Sweetheart Of The Rodeo\" album cover elements.   \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe album includes 24 amazing tracks, selected from various stops on the 23-city, 27-show tour by Stuart's audio engineer and the album's producer, Mick Conley (Marty Stuart). It was mastered impeccably by long-time Byrds re-issue producer Joe Reagoso.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eOver the decades, \"Sweetheart of the Rodeo\" has become widely recognized as a flashpoint in the emergence of country-rock music and for helping lay down a template for what eventually would be known as Americana music, that invigorating amalgam of rock, country, blues, folk, and gospel music. Rolling Stone ranked it at No. 120 on its 500 Greatest Albums.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\"I love the songs and playing with wonderful musicians,\" McGuinn says. \"I loved playing with Marty, the Superlatives, and Chris. It's a great band to play with, and they are pros. This is the best-sounding Byrds record ever made! It was a privilege to work with this band.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\"It was one of the best tours—if not THE best—I was ever on in 60 years of being in music. Every night was exciting,\" Hillman says. \"I couldn't think of anybody else to do that presentation with other than Marty and the Superlatives,\" including bassist\/steel guitarist Chris Scruggs, guitarist Kenny Vaughan and drummer Harry Stinson. \"Listening to this live recording puts me right back on stage with Roger, Marty, Kenny, Harry and Chris,\" Hillman adds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Aptos',sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Aptos; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;\"\u003eStuart echoed these sentiments. \"Everybody won,\" he said recently. \"That's my thought: As a band, we got to be the Byrds, and Roger and Chris got to be Roger and Chris without having to put up with\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eanything that had to do with band life, and the audience saw things and heard things that they never thought they'd ever see again or have never heard or seen before, right?\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eBeyond the joys of the musical performances, the \"Sweetheart 50th\" tour treated audiences to something of a master class in the evolution of country rock. The album includes songs written and recorded well before Sweetheart to show the musical road that led to the album. These include Hillman's early country-rock song \"Time Between,\" Bob Dylan's \"My Back Pages,\" and Porter Wagoner's 1955 country classic \"Satisfied Mind.\" Also included is \"Old John Robertson,\" the folk-country ballad Hillman and McGuinn collaborated on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe second part of the evening and the album are devoted to the \"Sweetheart\" songs, all of which McGuinn, Hillman, Stuart, and the Superlatives played using the original arrangements, although not in the original album's sequence. However, that portion of the show did start with the same song that opens the album, \"You Ain't Going Nowhere.\" McGuinn credits his wife, Camilla, for the structure and script of the narrative used at each show.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eOne of the impressive things about \"Sweetheart\" was the diversity of the material: from two previously unreleased Dylan songs—\"You Ain't Going Nowhere\" and \"Nothing Was Delivered\"—and Woody Guthrie's classic fable of social injustice, \"Pretty Boy Floyd,\" to Haggard's sobering country ballad \"Life in Prison,\" the Louvin Brothers' country gospel tune \"I Like the Christian Life,\" Parson's timeless contributions—\"Hickory Wind\" and \"One Hundred Years From Now,\" both sung here by Hillman--and Memphis musician William Bell's soulful slice of romantic longing, \"You Don't Miss Your Water.\" The differences between the versions the Byrds laid down 50 years earlier and what McGuinn, Hillman, Stuart, and the Superlatives put forth from the stages are both significant and subtle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eFollowing the ovations the six musicians typically received, they returned nightly for an encore segment that included two more Byrds classics: \"So You Want to Be a Rock 'n' Roll Star\" and \"Turn! Turn! Turn! On the final night of the tour, however, on a cool mid-December night in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., they added the tour's only live performance of \"Eight Miles High,\" which was fortunately recorded and included here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\"Any intimations of mortality went unspoken,\" Chris Willman wrote for Variety in his review of the first L.A. \"Sweetheart\" concert in 2018, \"but it was … that much more moving that McGuinn and Hillman are here to do this in their 70s… and to do it so well, after showing no particular urgency about reliving their past in intervening decades. \"To everything, there is a season,\" he concluded, \"but the Americana movement, which had such a huge part in kickstarting, hasn't been off-season since. Bully for them for acceding to a characteristically gentle victory lap.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eFriday Music is very pleased to present this wonderful recording. It will be one of the most important albums released this year.
