The obvious next step was a solo career for the man whose gravelly voice, 12-string guitar leads and unerring sense of musical taste had been synonymous with the band hed founded almost a decade earlier.

McGuinns self-titled 1973 solo debut--with stirring guest appearances from Bob Dylan and Charles Lloyd--was a relentlessly eclectic joy from top to bottom, drawing stirring inspiration from all eras of the Byrds storied career. 1974s Peace On You found CSN&Y producer Bill Halverson giving a thoroughly 70s sheen to an album whose highlights included the saucy Charlie Rich-penned title song and "Gate Of Horn," a heartfelt McGuinn/Jacques Levy tribute to the legendary Chicago folk club. Here they are, tickets ready please, for stops one and two of the ongoing, ever-fascinating solo career of Roger McGuinn.
