He gave rock style treatments to traditional folk tunes and thereby caught the attention of another folkie Beatle fan, Gene Clark, who joined forces with McGuinn in July 1964.

In 1978, McGuinn joined fellow ex-Byrds Gene Clark and Chris Hillman to form " McGuinn, Clark and Hillman ", and the three together recorded an album with Capitol Records in 1979.

McGuinn, Clark and Hillman's second release was to have been a full group effort entitled " City ", but a combination of Clark's unreliability and his dissatisfaction with their musical direction ( mostly regarding Ron and Howard Albert's production ) resulted in the billing change on their next LP " City " to " Roger McGuinn and Chris Hillman, featuring Gene Clark ".

By 1981 Clark had left and the group continued briefly as " McGuinn / Hillman ".

The nucleus of The Byrds had formed in early 1964, when Jim McGuinn, Gene Clark, and David Crosby — united by a shared love of The Beatles ' music — came together under the moniker of The Jet Set at The Troubadour folk club in Los Angeles.

Soon after forming The Jet Set, Crosby introduced McGuinn and Clark to his associate Jim Dickson, who became the group's manager.

The 1969 hit " You Showed Me " had been written by Byrds Gene Clark and Roger ( then Jim ) McGuinn in 1964.

After hearing the Beatles, Clark quit the Christys and moved to Los Angeles where he met fellow folkie / Beatles convert Jim ( later Roger ) McGuinn at the Troubadour Club and in early 1964 they began to assemble a band that would become The Byrds.

Although there is some disagreement among the band's biographers, Clark is generally viewed as having contributed background vocals to the songs " Goin ' Back " and " Space Odyssey " from the then forthcoming Byrds ' album, The Notorious Byrd Brothers, as well as being an uncredited co-author, with Roger McGuinn, of " Get to You " from that album.

For his British tour dates, Clark found himself on the same bill as ex-Byrds Roger McGuinn and Chris Hillman.

McGuinn, Clark & Hillman was a rebirth in both performing and songwriting for Clark.

McGuinn, Clark and Hillman's second release was to have been a full group effort entitled City, but a combination of Clark's unreliability and his dissatisfaction with their musical direction ( mostly regarding Ron and Howard Albert's production ) resulted in the billing change on City to " Roger McGuinn and Chris Hillman, featuring Gene Clark ".

By 1981, Clark had left, and the group recorded one more album as " McGuinn / Hillman ".

#" Mr. Tambourine Man " – Roger McGuinn with Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers – 4: 10

Dr. Byrds & Mr. Hyde is unique within the band's discography for being the only album on which McGuinn sings the lead vocal on every track.

Dr. Byrds & Mr. Hyde is therefore the only album in The Byrds ' catalogue to feature Roger McGuinn singing lead on every track.

" Stanley's Song ", a rather lackluster country shuffle, written by McGuinn and his friend Robert J. Hippard also dates from these sessions but it was eventually discarded and did not appear in the final track listing for Dr. Byrds & Mr. Hyde.

Andy Mellen, reviewing the album in the Winnipeg Free Press in February 1972, noted " not being anywhere the equal of Younger Than Yesterday or even Dr. Byrds & Mr. Hyde, it is an encouraging LP, offering some assurance that Roger McGuinn and friends still have their fingers on the pulse of what's happening musically in 1972.

McGuinn did, however, re-record the song for his 1975 solo album, Roger McGuinn & Band.

Recorded less than a week after the release of The Byrds ' album, Dr. Byrds & Mr. Hyde, the band line-up on these recordings includes lead singer and guitarist, Roger McGuinn, lead guitarist Clarence White, bassist John York, and drummer Gene Parsons.

Consequently, when The Byrds ' Columbia recording contract was renewed on February 29, 1968, it was only original members Roger McGuinn and Chris Hillman who signed it.

Parsons, like fellow new recruit Kevin Kelley, was hired as a sideman and received a salary from McGuinn and Hillman.

" However, these comments overlook the fact that Parsons, like Kelley, was considered a bona fide member of the band during 1968 and as such, was given equal billing alongside McGuinn, Hillman, and Kelley on the Sweetheart of the Rodeo album and in contemporary press coverage of the band.

Prior to Parsons ' departure from The Byrds, he had accompanied the two Rolling Stones to Stonehenge ( along with McGuinn and Hillman ) in the English county of Wiltshire, where Richards had a house near the ancient site.

Since The Alpha Band broke up, Mansfield has continued to work as a musician in sessions for Dylan, Burnett, Johnny Cash, Nanci Griffith, Roger McGuinn, Sam Phillips, Mark Heard, The Roches, Edie Brickell, Spinal Tap, Lucinda Williams, Dwight Yoakam, Victoria Williams, Loudon Wainwright III, Chris Hillman and Herb Pedersen and others.

Johnny Cash and the Carter Family, Emmylou Harris, and Ricky Skaggs joined the sessions, as did John Prine, Levon Helm, John Denver, John Hiatt, Bruce Hornsby, and former Byrds Roger McGuinn and Chris Hillman.

In 1985 Clark approached McGuinn, Crosby, and Hillman 1984 regarding a reformation of The Byrds in time for the 20th anniversary of the release of " Mr. Tambourine Man ".

As the band continued to tour throughout 1985, their agent decided to shorten their name to " The Byrds " permanently, to the displeasure of McGuinn, Crosby and Hillman.

Clark eventually discontinued performing with his own " Byrds " band, but drummer Michael Clarke then continued on with Skip Battin ( occasionally using ex-Byrds York and Gene Parsons, also ), forming another " Byrds " group, prompting McGuinn, Hillman, and Crosby into going on the road as " The Byrds " to attempt to establish claim to the rights to the band name.
