Review - :
One of the greatest debuts in the history of {\rock}, {$the Byrds}' {^Mr. Tambourine Man} was nothing less than a significant step in the evolution of {\rock & roll} itself, demonstrating that intelligent lyrical content could be wedded to compelling electric guitar riffs and a solid backbeat. It was also the album that was most responsible for establishing {\folk-rock} as a popular phenomenon, its most alluring traits being {$Roger McGuinn}'s immediately distinctive 12-string Rickenbacker jangle and the band's beautiful harmonies. The material was uniformly strong, whether they were interpreting {$Bob Dylan} (on the title cut and three other songs, including the hit single {&"All I Really Want to Do"}), {$Pete Seeger} ({&"The Bells of Rhymney"}), or {$Jackie DeShannon} ({&"Don't Doubt Yourself, Babe"}). The originals were lyrically less challenging but equally powerful musically, especially {$Gene Clark}'s {&"I Knew I'd Want You,"} {&"I'll Feel a Whole Lot Better,"} and {&"Here Without You"}; {&"It's No Use"} showed a tougher, harder-rocking side and a guitar solo with hints of {\psychedelia}. [The CD reissue adds six less impressive (but still satisfying) bonus tracks and alternate takes from the same era.] ~ Richie Unterberger, All Music Guide
