David Crosby, Stephen Stills, Graham Nash, Neil Young.
The Byrds, Crazy Horse, The Hollies, Buffalo Springfield, Manassas.
When you see the southern cross for the first time.
You understand now why you came this way.
Who knows, love can endure.
And you know it will.

Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, and Kris Kristofferson!? All singing about being different type of tough guys!? Country at its best. Came from a time in music where every song had to have a space aspect, David Bowies influence stretches wide

By the Byrds.
Sweetheart of the Rodeo gets all the well deserved love, but this album, which came out right before, is my favorite. It’s the band’s first time embracing country music, but they haven’t quite left the psychedelic era; they’re in a state of transition.
The album glides by like a series of daydreams— of laid back mornings and acid-eyed evenings, fading romances, pastoral fantasies and whole lifetimes circling back on themselves.
Beautiful harmonies, unique guitar tones, strings, pedal steel and Moog synth contribute to an atmosphere not found in the work of their contemporaries. It might be one of the last great 60s psych records, but it is also the beginning of soft rock, of dream pop, and alt country.

IDK how I just noticed this but
Jim Croce's "I Got a Name" and
Gordon Lightfoot's "Carefree Highway"
(classic acoustica moments from the '70s that have been used in films, ads, etc.)
Are both in the key of E major
both sung by guys with baritone voices
and involve lyrics about either literally or metaphorically going down a "highway" to discover and experience life.
Just sayin'.
I'm sure it wouldn't take much to find a James Taylor/Tim Buckley venn diagram either.
