Roger McGuinn: Roger McGuinn
Nick Kent, NME, 18 August 1973
NOW THIS is a little more like it. Of course, it would be ludicrous to expect a sudden reconciliation with the original classic Byrds feel and quality coming from this, Roger McGuinn's first solo album, but all in all it's a surprisingly pleasant creation and one that will at least soothe out the incredible depression that followed after that absymal Asylum Byrds reunion album.
