The Essential Byrds (2003) |
The Byrds Play Dylan is an album released by American band The Byrds in 2002 on Columbia Records, featuring twenty interpretations of Bob Dylan songs from their entire career, regardless of line-up. The recordings contained within range from 1965 with "Mr. Tambourine Man" to 1990's "Paths of Victory".
All of the material on The Byrds Play Dylan was previously released, either on The Byrds' regular albums, as bonus tracks on their remastered CDs, or on The Byrds, the 1990 boxed set. In one special case, the original 1969 single-only release of "Lay Lady Lay", backed by a gospel choir, has been preserved here, as well as the version without the choir vocals.
