Younger Than Yesterday  by The Byrds

Younger Than Yesterday - a 1967 release - by the Byrds is considered today as one of the most important and influential albums of the 1960s, marking the band's transition from folk rock to psychedelic and country rock. It was the band's fourth studio album. The production was done by Gary Usher.

The recording was completed in just 11 days (November 28 – December 8, 1966) at Columbia Studios in Hollywood. It was the first album recorded entirely without the original main songwriter Gene Clark. This led to the emergence of bassist Chris Hillman as a significant creator, who wrote alone four songs: Have You Seen Her Face, Time Between, Thoughts and Words, The Girl With No Name, and co-authored with Roger McGuinn the major hit So You Want To Be A Rock 'n' Roll Star. Hillman, having roots in bluegrass as a mandolin player, introduced the country sound to the Byrds for the first time. Overall, the album's sound is an eclectic combination of different genres, based on psychedelia and experimentation, but also on country and folk rock.

The single of So You Want To Be A Rock 'n' Roll Star reached No.29 and the single My Back Pages reached No.30 in the US. It was the last time the band had a single in the Top 40. The album itself reached No.24 on the US Billboard 200 and No.37 (or No.7 according to other sources) in the United Kingdom.
