![]() Top 40, they couldn't really be considered bona fide hits. However, since none of these singles reached the U.S. charting singles, including " Ballad of Easy Rider" (number 65), " Jesus Is Just Alright" (number 97), " Chestnut Mare" (number 121), and "You Ain't Goin' Nowhere" (number 74). ![]() ![]() The album featured a number of the band's U.S. The album also included " He Was a Friend of Mine", which had originally appeared on 1965's Turn! Turn! Turn! album, a period already covered by the band's first compilation album, The Byrds' Greatest Hits. The bulk of the album's songs are drawn from the years 1969 through to 1971, with the 1968 albums The Notorious Byrd Brothers and Sweetheart of the Rodeo only being represented by "Wasn't Born to Follow" and " You Ain't Goin' Nowhere" respectively. The album was compiled with input from the band's guitarist and leader Roger McGuinn, although rock historian Christopher Hjort has suggested that it offered a somewhat erratic survey of the band's later years. The Best of The Byrds: Greatest Hits, Volume II was released just prior to the highly publicized reunion of the five original members of the Byrds. It spent a total of thirteen weeks on the Billboard Top LPs & Tapes chart and peaked at number 114. by Columbia Records on Novem( see 1972 in music) in lieu of any new Byrds' product during that year. The Best of The Byrds: Greatest Hits, Volume II is the third greatest hits album by the American rock band the Byrds, but only the second to be released in the United States, since the earlier The Byrds' Greatest Hits Volume II had only been issued in the UK.

Often described in their early days as a hybrid of Dylan and the Beatles, the Byrds in turn influenced Dylan and the Beatles almost as much as Bob and the Fab Four had influenced the Byrds. They also played a vital role in pioneering psychedelic rock and country-rock, the unifying element being their angelic harmonies and restless eclecticism. The jangling, 12-string guitar sound of leader Roger McGuinn's Rickenbacker was permanently absorbed into the vocabulary of rock. They were not solely responsible for devising folk-rock, but they were certainly more responsible than any other single act (Dylan included) for melding the innovations and energy of the British Invasion with the best lyrical and musical elements of contemporary folk music. Although they only attained the huge success of the Beatles, Rolling Stones, and the Beach Boys for a short time in the mid-'60s, time has judged the Byrds to be nearly as influential as those groups in the long run.
