Sweetheart of the Rodeo is an album by American country rock band The Byrds, released on July 22, 1968 (see 1968 in music). Though The Byrds were not the first to fuse country and rock, they quickly became the most popular act to do so. With the talents of legendary country musician Gram Parsons, The Byrds released a long series of rock albums fixed with various influences, including bluegrass, folk and country music; Sweetheart of the Rodeo is now widely regarded as The Byrds best album, and one of the most successful fusions of country and rock in the history of music. Sweetheart of the Rodeo peaked at #77 on Billboard's Pop Albums chart, while the single "You Ain't Going Nowhere" peaked at #74 on the Pop Singles chart. The album was re-released in 1997 with eight bonus tracks featuring previously unreleased songs, rehearsals and outtakes. In 2003, a further version was released featuring slightly different bonus tracks and an entire second disc of material, the first six tracks of which are actually songs by the International Submarine Band (Parsons' previous band). The rest of the second disc is made up of more alternate versions and outtakes. It is number 117 on the List of Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.
