Stars on one great stereo LP only three ninety nine This is the music of the birds Like the birds music of the album Now that I'm busy riding Because a lot of it has a kind of the same quality about it not that it's repetitious But that it seems that there is a flow to this music
They don't seek it meaning and no hits and codes And it's the music about America too, and it's the birds Birds have been around for five, six years. They've been trendsetters. They've been ahead of their time.
And they seem to speak for a lot of people, a lot of ways. This new album of theirs, Ballet of Easy Rider, seems to speak for a lot of people too. Birds on Columbia.
That was the 60-second preview
