Change Is Now" is a tribute to The Byrd's entire catalog from 1964 to 1973, with Christian Parker & Gary Jacob producing this fifteen-song collection. "We wanted to pick songs off the beaten track that never got the attention they deserved," says Parker. The first volume 'Sweethearts' A Tribute to the Byrds 'Sweetheart of the Rodeo' was released in the summer of 2023. Original session players Earl Poole Ball & Christian Parker produced the 1968 classic, and original pedal steel guitarist JayDee Maness contributed. Change Is Now" features a Rickenbacker 12-string electric guitar and a B-bender Telecaster and includes many of Gene Clark's original compositions. Earl Poole Ball contributed to three songs, one of which he played when he was on the road with Johnny Cash for 20 years!
