Roger McGuinn, whose voice and 12-string guitar had been signature elements of the Byrds, was flying high on Cardiff Rose. Rejuvenated by a featured spot in Dylan's fabled Rolling Thunder Revue in 1975, McGuinn hooked up with storied producer/guitarist Mick Ronson to create the solo LP many consider his best. From the ringing opening chords of "Take Me Away" and the scurvy buccaneer tale, "Jolly Roger," both fascinating postcards from Rolling Thunder, to the swaggering "Rock and Roll Time" and Joni Mitchell's fervent "Dreamland," McGuinn's feet barely touch the ground on this 1976 masterpiece. Accompanied by liner notes penned after recent interviews with the great man himself, this McGuinn classic now available on compact disc with bonus material, has been sourced from the pristine Columbia Records master tapes and has never sounded better!
