Was Gram in The Byrds?
After David Crosby left The Byrds, they performed as a trio for a while but felt they needed another player to round out their sound. Chris Hillman asked Gram to join The Byrds shortly after meeting him in a bank. Their next album was all country and they recorded in Nashville. The album, Sweetheart Of The Rodeo, was a breakthrough in pop music. Now more than 25 years later it is considered a classic. Gram quit working for the Byrds in London only six months after Chris and Roger had hired him following Gram’s decision not to tour with the Byrds in South Africa.
