The Birds of the Folk Scene - Roger McGwin

David Crosby was a rule breaker who relished breaking rules. He pushed back against the mainstream and what he saw as, she has any institution in a very big way. The birds were some of those wonderful happy accidents in rock because none of them were really rock players. And absolutely Crosby's harmonies starting with Tamborin Man and I come and stand at every door on one of the early birds records.
