Clarence's pre-"official" Byrd status apearances:

Clarence's pre-"official" Byrd status apearances:
YOUNGER THAN YESTERDAY (1967)
"Time Between" (which also
features Vern Gosdin on acoustic guitar), "Girl With No
Name"
NOTORIOUS BYRD
BROTHERS (1968)
"Wasn't Born To Follow," "Change Is Now,"
"Goin' Back" (also with Orville "Red" Rhodes on
steel)
SWEETHEART OF THE RODEO (1968)
A *lot* of the tracks, but you can really hear him backing up
the last verse of "One Hundred Years From Now"
Also...
GENE CLARK WITH THE GOSDEN BROTHERS (1967)
Released the same week as Younger Than Yesterday, &
features the Byrds rhythm section (Hillman & Michael Clarke).
Clarence's official status as a Byrd began when they returned
from their disasterous South African tour (minus one Gram Parsons) July 1968,
& he appeared live & on their next album "DR. BYRDS & MR.
HYDE" (1969) in that capacity, continuing through the end of that
configuration of the group in 1972. He was not a part of the reunion on
Asylum Records in 1973...which really isn't *that* bad of an album, if you ask
me...
