The Byrds - The Ballad Of Easy Rider
(1969, Columbia)
This is a stretch in the later period Byrds that I'm drawn to. Not the same as the movie soundtrack album, only the title track has relation to the movie. I dig the folk-rock, banjo + hard rock here and on Untitled. An interesting piece on wiki about Dylan's contribution to the tite song:
In early 1969, the script writer and leading actor of Easy Rider, Peter Fonda, asked Bob Dylan to compose a theme song for the film.[13] Dylan declined but as a consolation he offered the lines - "The river flows, it flows to the sea/Wherever that river goes, that's where I want to be/Flow, river, flow" - which he hurriedly scribbled onto a napkin, before telling Fonda to "give that to McGuinn."[8][13] The fragment was dutifully passed on to The Byrds' guitarist, Roger McGuinn, who added his own lyrical and musical contributions to fashion a completed song, which he titled "Ballad of Easy Rider".[

David Bowie - Heroes
(1977, RCA) STERLING gc in the deadwax; mastered by Greg Calbi at Sterling
with Eno, keyboards; Robert Fripp, lead guitar; several songs co-written with Eno. Kind of a bright sounding record, I needed to attenuate the volume to reduce the attack of the razor blades... I guess I'm noticing this especially after switching from listening to The Byrds record.
