“I had to find out how they were getting that sound.” How George Harrison, banjo and a studio accident inspired Roger McGuinn’s invention of folk rock 

The Byrds’ guitarist was later told he influenced Harrison to write a Beatles’ classic. “We had some cross-pollination,” he says

Mr. Tambourine Man is the debut studio album by the American rock band the Byrds, released on June 21, 1965, by Columbia Records. The album is characterized by the Byrds' signature sound of Jim McGuinn's 12-string Rickenbacker guitar and the band's complex harmony singing. The material on the album consists of cover versions of folk songs, primarily composed by Bob Dylan, and originals written or co-written by singer Gene Clark...

The album's distinctive front cover fisheye lens photograph of the band was taken by Barry Feinstein at the bird sanctuary in Griffith Park, Los Angeles...

...In its July 1965 issue, Time magazine praised the album, stating: "To make folk music the music of today's folk, this quintet has blended Beatle beats with Lead Belly laments, created a halfway school of folk-rock that scores at the cash box if not with the folk purists." - Wikipedia
