The Closest to heaven its possible to come -Mojo
This is at least the best biography of a group ever written - Q Magazine
One of the most ambitious and expansive rock biographies ever written, Requiem For The Timeless, Volume 2continues this epic study of the Byrds. Rogan s previous Byrds book was highly acclaimed
The second volume focuses on the solo careers of the deceased members of the band, including co-founder and songwriter Gene Clark, cult figure Gram Parsons and the acclaimed guitarist Clarence White.
Taken as a whole, these obituaries confirm that the Byrds were not simply a legendary group but something closer to a movement that defined LA rock. Their individual lives are a moving and salutary tale of the rise and fall of a generation s hopes and dreams.
