Geocache Description:

The Bryds - "Eight Miles High"



"Eight Miles High" is a song by the American rock band The Byrds, written by Gene Clark, Jim McGuinn (a.k.a. Roger McGuinn), and David Crosby and first released as a single on March 14, 1966 (see 1966 in music). The single managed to reach the Top 20 of the Billboard Hot 100 and the Top 30 of the UK Singles Chart.

The song was also included on the band's third album, Fifth Dimension, released on July 18, 1966. "Eight Miles High" became The Byrds' third and final U.S. Top 20 hit, and also their last release before the departure of Gene Clark, who was the band's principal songwriter at the time.

Musically influenced by Ravi Shankar and John Coltrane, "Eight Miles High", along with its McGuinn and Crosby penned B-side "Why", was influential in developing the musical styles of psychedelic rock, raga rock and psychedelic pop. As such, the song is often cited by critics as being the first psychedelic rock song, as well as a classic of the counterculture era. Contents
