On his new collection, ‘Roger McGuinn: Stories, Songs & Friends,’ the singer and guitarist weaves Byrds favorites with folk, blues and sea shanties, the core of much of the music produced by the band some called "the American Beatles."
The voice of Roger McGuinn was a huge part of the late '60s. The singer/guitarist, who turns 70 July 13, began his career as a backing player and songwriter for hire, but caught his big break when meeting up with Gene Clark to form the Byrds.
