Product Description
Product Description
After Chris Hillman dragged new friend Gram Parsons into the Byrds, they made an album as close to a country masterpiece as a rock act could ever make. In fact, the only tunes better than the definitive covers here of songs by Bob Dylan ("You Ain't Going Nowhere"), Guthrie ("Pretty Boy Floyd"), and the Louvin Brothers ("The Christian Life") are Parsons's originals, especially the incomparable "Hickory Wind." Sweetheart wasn't the first country-rock album, but with its gorgeous three-way harmonies and sweet pedal steel, it remains the best. --David Cantwell

Quintessential country rock,
By craig witty (asheville, nc United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sweetheart of the Rodeo (Audio CD)
Without a doubt THE most influential example of country rockever to be produced on this planet. This is the one that started it all! The Burrito Brothers,Commander Cody, Poco, The Eagles-they all would have sounded different if it were'nt for this piece. If you are even remotely interested in the country rock genre this album has got to be the cornerstone of any collection.

This review is from: Sweetheart of the Rodeo (Audio CD)
yes, this is a sterling album, one that has held up over the years. great songs, great harmonies, a wonderfully positive concept (listen to "the christian life"). surely, it will never be "old" to my 56 year old ears, but...the byrds did a better album after parsons left the band, then the planet...it was titled..."untitled." i'd give "sweethearts" 4.4 stars and "untitled" 4.5.

What hasn't been said?,
By "howlinw" (California USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sweetheart of the Rodeo (Audio CD)
It's always hard to review a lavishly-praised masterpiece, as so much has already been said about it that it's hard to find something new and distinctive to contribute. So I'll simply add that this is the foundation upon which all modern country-rock is built- not that this is so original- but it merits repeating. If you like Uncle Tupelo and the Jayhawks, and would like to expand your roots a bit and explore the beginnings of the genre, this will suit you fine. If you are a Nashville country person, this may open your mind and cause you to turn off that radio for good. And if twang doesn't do it for you no matter what, no-way, no-how (read: closed-minded), there's plenty of cheesy post-metal, bland pop-rock, and repetitive mainstream hip-hop out there for you to consume so don't waste your time here.
