On this day on 26 June 1965
The Byrds scored their first No.1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 with a cover of Bob Dylan’s “Mr. Tambourine Man.”

Read about it in The Byrds On Track, available from @burningshed or wherever you buy your books

60 years ago today folk rock went stratospheric as Mr Tambourine Man topped the Billboard charts and the Sunset Strip became the centre of US pop culture. It's still one of the greatest debut singles ever.

On this day 60 years ago today, one of the greatest debut singles ever was released in the US. The Byrds' pioneering "Mr Tambourine Man" took the new sub genre called folk-rock to the mainstream. And it would introduce one of America's greatest bands of all time.

On this day 60 years ago The Byrds made their debut at Ciros. Within months they would help create a scene that took over the west coast! And from this scene they would begin their pioneering career. Here they are at Ciros, with a special guest!
