Jerry Lee Lewis released his third album in a decade yesterday, October 27th, 2014.
The CD is titled ROCK & ROLL TIME, which is also the title of the song that opens the album.
Does that title ring a bell to Byrds fans? Yes, it's the same old song that appeared on Roger McGuinn's CARDIFF ROSE album in 1976.
The song was co-written by Roger McGuinn, Kris Kristofferson and Bob Neuwirth, and first appeared on Kristofferson's LP called SPOOKY LADY'S SIDESHOW in 1974.

The Byrds’ Roger McGuinn re-cuts iconic song for anticipated movie soundtrack Album features Ricky Skaggs and Emmylou Harris.
The Byrds’ Roger McGuinn re-cuts iconic song for
anticipated movie soundtrack Album features Ricky Skaggs and Emmylou
Harris.
August 14, 2014 (Nashville, Tenn.)
Ancient biblical text that inspired The Byrds’ No. 1 hit
“Turn! Turn! Turn!” will now provide a cinematic backdrop for the provocative
new film, THE SONG, releasing nationwide from Samuel Goldwyn Films and City On a
Hill Studio on September 26.
In honor of the film, The Byrds’ Roger McGuinn has
re-arranged the band’s timeless classic for THE SONG ALBUM, which will release
September 16 from Capitol Records (Christian Music Group).
The 15-track project
features musical icons such as Ricky Skaggs, Americana Vocalist of the
Year Emmylou Harris and McGuinn.
“‘Turn! Turn! Turn!’, based on the book of
Ecclesiastes, is my favorite song,” says rock legend Roger McGuinn. “It was a
pleasure to work with Ricky, Emmylou, and friends to re-record this version for
the movie and soundtrack.”
Recorded in the heart of Music City, Nashville,
Tenn., renowned musicians put their own spin on the iconic lyrics of “Turn!
Turn! Turn!” in a new recording which features collaboration by McGuinn, Skaggs
and Harris.
The classic song is based on Scriptures written by Solomon in the
book of Ecclesiastes. THE SONG ALBUM also features 11 original American Roots
songs, also inspired by the life and writings of Solomon, as well as four
classic hits with new musical arrangements.
Emmylou Harris’ involvement with the
project benefits her charity Bonaparte’s Retreat, a rescue that is
dedicated to providing nurturing care for adoptable dogs when their dog allotted
time at the shelter has elapsed.
Of course Richard Ramsey (writer and
director) had a dream list of history makers in Americana Music, and
yes Emmylou Harris was at the tip top of the list.
With Roger McGuinn, Ricky
Skaggs and Jerry Douglas on board it became bigger than any dream team to round
out this project and take it to an incredible place.”

BYRDS meet happy fans in London, 1967
Writes Bob Parsons:
The Byrds had a small get together for die-hard fans at the Round House in
London on Saturday 25th February 1967.
I was there along with my good friends Tony Poole and Ross McGeeney,
both later to find fame with 'Starry Eyed and Laughing', who seven short years
later (April 28, 1974) played the Roundhouse alongside Michael Nesmith and Red
Rhodes (amongst others). Simple twist of fate!
Back to 1967 however; in true fan style we
'discovered' that the band were staying at the White House Hotel on Regent’s
Park in London, so we all strode off and blagged the number of "Mr.
McGuinn"'s suite from the front desk. Up we went and had the briefest of
conversations with the great man, and emboldened by that knocked on the door
opposite to find it answered by the ever voluble David Crosby! Wow, David spent
what seemed like hours with us discussing all manner of subjects (I should have
said we were 3 spotty faced schoolboys!!) and to this day none of us have
forgotten the experience or his kindness.
