Editorial Review:
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

Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Worth the price
I prefer a harder country sound, but my wife enjoys this CD and plays it often
Rating: - origins of the california rock sound
Like the review says, this a full immersion into the Bakersfield sound and big departure from the Byrds work to date. This Buck Owens sound in heavy doses like this can be overwhelming to those not expecting it. Use with caution,
Rating:  - Great Country Rock!
This is great country rock. While I believe the Byrds never truly recovered after they lost Crosby, they did have Chris Hillman and Gram Parsons on this record, which is great! Its very southern gospel/countryish, but the music is fairly diverse, including some Dylan covers. I'd say its pretty Dylanesque country rock.
Rating: - This Record Needs a Review?
If you need to read a review to buy this record you probably won't get "It".
It's sort of like writing a review for Beethovan's 9th.
Rating:  - 3 of these are mislabeled!!!!!
The case says the Byrds, but the cd inside is Mahavishnu Orchestra. All three that I ordered were like this!!!!!! Buyers beware!!!!!!
