On the France charts, superstar The Byrds’s career stalled before it left the starting gate. This is one of the best Cd’s The Byrds has dropped to date. This -song debut EP shows the promise that The Byrds has. Check it every song is worth the money for the Cruising Altitude CD!
This song stands out greatly from the others. Roll Over Beethoven has to be one of the most beautiful tracks on the entire album. Although I prefer the faster paced music, I think So You Want To Be A Rock ‘N’ Roll Star is my favorite song on Cruising Altitude. Have You Seen Her Face is one of the best records ever. The Byrds sings his heart out in Time Between. Such hits like It Happens Each Day will leave you hooked. Awesome song is really all that you can say about it. Everybody’s Been Burned - arguably the best track on Cruising Altitude album. The Girl Wth No Name is a marvelous sing-along. Vocals of The Byrds in Triad really capture me and are set perfectly to the rhythm. A unique and uplifting song. Old John Robertson great lyrics, dark, deep, angry and cool.Goin’ Back is a good listen every once in a while. In Draft Morning you won’t find any flashy solos. Wasn’t Born To Follow is a very good song maybe surprisingly better than you at first might’ve imagined. Dolphin’s Smile defines beauty, yet is as unforgiving as an astringent stone. Reputation is an incredible song that has everything it needs to be another favorite track. You Ain’t Going Nowhere is nothing but pure genius. The first time I listened to The Christian Life I was struck by its exquisite sound. I Am A Pilgrim is a bit of a show-tune. Pretty Boy Floyd is outstanding work of The Byrds. Although You Don’t Miss Your Water is very melodic it is far from sad. My Back Pages is a catchy, up-tempo track that has influence of music streams without leaning too much in that direction.
