Tribute to The Byrds' Entire Catalog on Vinyl LP!
Change Is Now is a tribute to The Byrds' entire catalog from 1964 to 1973. Christian Parker and Gary Jacob produced this 14-song deep-dive collection. "We wanted to pick songs off the beaten path that never had the exposure they deserved," said Parker. The first volume, Sweethearts: A Tribute to the Byrds 'Sweetheart of the Rodeo', was released in the summer of 2023. Original session player Earl Poole Ball and Christian Parker produced the 1968 classic, and original pedal steel guitar player JayDee Maness contributed. Change Is Now has the rigging of a Rickenbacker 12-string electric guitar and a B-bender telecaster, with many Gene Clark original compositions. Earl Poole Ball played on three songs, one of which he performed while on the road with Johnny Cash for 20 years!
