Anyone who likes this album. It's such an oddball in the Byrds catalogue. Gram Parson's one time takeover of the band, he hijacked Roger McGuinn's testament to all American music and made a total old time country album. It was poorly received (they were hooted off the stage at Nashville's Ryman Auditorium). I dislike C/W. Growing up, all that was played in our house was C/W. Hank, Merle (God, I hate Okie), Patsy, Buck Owens, Marty Robbins. But this album is probably in my top 25. And I don't know why.

I like it, but I like every single Byrds album before it better.

I don't have as big of an issue with C/W as I did then ( I still won't play it but I don't break out in hives). I just hated Okie From Muskogee. My father, who was no Okie, thought that song was his personal anthem and played it. First time I ever brought a girl home, he seen her led Zeppelin shirt, bawled "You listen to that hippie crap? Here's what you should listen to" and slapped Merle on the phonograph. Nice huh...

Okie from Muskogee is a remarkable song that delineated social fissures in 1969 that persist today. It does not express my views but it packs a lot of meaning. Besides, Merle had a great voice.
