Digging into my Cosmic American roots this week. If you pick any single person who played in the Byrds, it's a sure way to find some hidden country-rock nuggets. It's also a great way to discover band/musician connections that you never knew existed. Herb Pedersen (although never an official Byrd) definitely earns his honorary wyngs for his musical associations. He performed alongside Gram Parsons and later joined forces with Chris Hillman in the Desert Rose Band.
Here's a sample of his earlier output with the Dillards. I love the funky drums and bassline. This is one for the folks out in California. May the Rainmaker bust a hole in that high pressure ridge and bring ya'll some precipitation.
