COUNTRY ROCK- FROM THE BYRDS TO THE EAGLES, COUNTRY LEARNS TO FLY!
Keith Crocker
Join us for this delightful exposé of how country music turned rock, ushered in by the
twangy guitar sound of Roger McGuinn’s The Byrds and brought to fruition by the Eagles
and their first album which hit the charts in 1972.
We will also explore contributions to
Country Rock by Bob Dylan, Ricky Nelson and his Stone Canyon band, Johnny Cash and so many more. Even if you are not a fan of Country Rock, you will leave this presentation as one.
