Turn! Turn! Turn!

Turn! Turn! Turn! (1965) is the Byrds' second album, marked by Roger McGuinn's chiming 12-string electric guitar, close harmony vocals, and a melding of folk songcraft with concise pop rock arrangements. The title track adapts Pete Seeger's setting of text from Ecclesiastes into an upbeat, radio-friendly arrangement, while the record mixes folk covers and group originals to emphasize a bright, jangly sound. The album helped define the folk rock approach of pairing acoustic-derived songwriting with electric instrumentation and pop sensibility.
