Bird Full of Yard

In their brief lifetimes, the Yardbirds proved to be as seminal as any British rock group from the 60s. Springing from the churning blues rock scene, they infused passion and bruising guitar licks with attitude that was way cooler in ways than that of the Stones and even the Beatles. The closest they came to psychedelic were the haunting Shapes of Things and Happenings Ten Years Time Ago, and nobody outside of Dylan voiced social concerns with such rock panache as You’re a Better Man Than I. This week’s wog showcases the soulful, bluesful side of a truly great rock band.
