He also was a mentor to Roger McGuinn, who worked for Darin at TM Music and played the 12-string guitar in Darin's nightclub band before forming The Byrds.

By the end of 1964 he was diversifying, favoring the 12-string Rickenbacker that was also notably used by Roger McGuinn in establishing the sound of the Byrds and by George Harrison of the Beatles during this era.

The Rolling Thunder Revue was also augmented by guest musicians such as Mick Ronson ( best known for his work with David Bowie ) and other artists such as Roger McGuinn, Joni Mitchell, and Joan Baez who not only contributed during Dylan's set, but also played complete sets of their own.

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.

The song was also performed live by a reformed line-up of The Byrds featuring Roger McGuinn, David Crosby, and Chris Hillman in January 1989.

The October recording sessions also saw the band attempting the traditional song " Old Blue ", which McGuinn had originally learned from watching Bob Gibson and Bob Camp at Chicago's Gate of Horn club back in April 1961.

" 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.

The box set also includes six songs performed by a reunited line-up of The Byrds, featuring original members Roger McGuinn, David Crosby, and Chris Hillman.

Although the most common seven-string has a low B string, Roger McGuinn ( of The Byrds and Rickenbacker ) uses an octave G string paired with the regular G string as on a 12-string guitar, allowing him to incorporate chiming 12-string elements in standard six-string playing.

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.

" 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.

As a result, McGuinn ended up replacing three of Parsons ' lead vocals with his own singing on the finished album, a move that was still rankling Parsons as late as 1973, when he told Cameron Crowe in an interview that McGuinn " erased it and did the vocals himself and fucked it up.

Allegedly, the characters of Wyatt and Billy were respectively based on Roger McGuinn and David Crosby of The Byrds.

James Roger McGuinn ( born James Joseph McGuinn III on July 13, 1942 ) known professionally as Roger McGuinn and previously as Jim McGuinn, is an American singer-songwriter and guitarist.

After graduation, McGuinn performed solo at various coffeehouses on the folk music circuit where he was hired as a sideman by folk music groups in the same vein as the Limeliters, the Chad Mitchell Trio, and Judy Collins.

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 ".

On July 11, 2000, McGuinn testified before in a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on downloading music from the Internet that artists do not always receive the royalties that ( non-Internet based ) record companies state in contracts, and that to date, The Byrds had not received any royalties for their greatest successes, " Mr. Tambourine Man " and " Turn, Turn, Turn " – they only received advances, which were split five ways and were just " a few thousand dollars " per band member.

Roger McGuinn has used the Internet to continue the folk music tradition since November 1995 by recording a different folk song each month on his Folk Den site.

While using the name Roger professionally from that time on, McGuinn only officially changed his middle name from Joseph to Roger.

Sweetheart of the Rodeo was originally conceived by band leader Roger McGuinn as a sprawling, double album history of American popular music.

In 1968, McGuinn helped create the groundbreaking Byrds album Sweetheart of the Rodeo, to which many attribute the rise in popularity of country rock.

McGuinn originally conceived the album as a blend of rock, jazz and other styles ; but Gram Parson's and Chris Hillman's bluegrass-western-country influences came to the forefront.

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.

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.

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

The song " Gorgeous " from Kanye West's 2010 album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is based on elements of the Clark / McGuinn song " You Showed Me ".

He came into his own on the Byrds ' 1967 album Younger Than Yesterday, co-writing and sharing lead vocals with McGuinn on the hit " So You Want to Be a Rock ' n ' Roll Star ".

The Briarwood Singers " Bubbled Under " the Billboard singles chart in December of 1963 with a recording of the traditional folk song He Was a Friend of Mine, which was later recorded ( with new lyrics written specially by Jim McGuinn ) in 1965 by the popular American band, The Byrds, on their second album, Turn!

The musical stalled, but one song, " Chestnut Mare ," co-written by McGuinn and Levy, became the single released from the album ( Untitled ) in 1970.

The album was the first to feature the new band line-up of Clarence White ( guitar ), Gene Parsons ( drums ), John York ( bass ), and founding member Roger McGuinn ( guitar ).

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.

Amidst so many changes in band personnel, McGuinn decided that he alone would sing lead vocals on the band's new album, in order to give it a sense of sonic unity.

McGuinn felt that it would be too confusing for fans of The Byrds to have the unfamiliar voices of the new members coming forward at this stage and so White, Parsons and York were relegated to backing vocal duties during the recording of the album.

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

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.

Following the release of the album, The Byrds continued to tour the U. S. and Europe throughout 1972, but no new LP or single release was forthcoming and ultimately, Farther Along would turn out to be the last studio album by the McGuinn, White, Parsons, and Battin line-up of the band.
