I keep on "researching"; Folk Rock or Country Rock?

I checked my Rock Reference Book (dictionary wasn't the right word, but I'm a swedish woman!) and it sais about the Byrds, that: They developed Folk Rock in the sixties, inspired by Dylan's "Mr Tambourine man". They were also one of the artists who developed the Country Rock of the sixties, with i. e. the LP "Sweethearts of the rodeo". (They were also pioneers in the psycedelic pop, with "Eight miles high".)

So there I answered some of my own questions... but it's also a comment to AliUK, who sais the Byrds " really didn't do any rockefied folk music but rockefied acoustic music." Well, I don't know the difference and can just point to the quotations from my book...

And to Mick: my reference book sais… that the Eagles stood out as a "...concentrate of Californian Rock, with their mix of C&W-inspired part song, hard guitar-rock and a perfect studio sound."

So... I understand now that it isn't easy to define a band as a Folk Rock Band or a Country Rock Band. That can change from record to record.

Berit, quite a novice, relying on my Rock Reference Book... ;-)
