		EASY RIDER (1969) Directed by: Dennis Hopper Produced by: Peter Fonda Executive Producer: Bert Schneider Screenplay: Hopper, Fonda, and Terry Southern Photography: Laszlo Kovacs Art Direction: Jerry Kay Editor: Donn Cambern "Ballad of Easy Rider" by Bob Dylan and Roger McGuinn.
		"Easy Rider" carried the social message that to be a young radical in America of the 1960s was to invite ridicule, repression, violence, and even death.
		Credits roll, and we hear "Ballad of Easy Rider." "All I wanted was to be free," the song says, "And that's the way it turned out to be." - David Zinman, "Fifty Grand Movies of the 1960s and 1970s" (New York: Crown Publishers, Inc., 1986).

	Easy Rider (35th Anniversary Deluxe Edition)
		But there are no heroes in "Easy Rider"; identification is stimulated by the mood of the film rather than by characters that have no history and are therefore ideal subjects for mythical legend.
		In itself, "Easy Rider" is a work full of contradictions--including the fact that Hopper took time off from shooting to appear in "True Grit" (1969), a John Wayne film with almost the opposite philosophy.
		The most important comment "Easy Rider" made was to be found in the vast discrepency between the visual beauty in the movie, as captured by Lazlo Kovacs' cinematography, and the ugliness of the climate of life in the late Sixties.

	Soundtrack Album: Easy Rider
		The Band's original version of "The Weight" was used in the movie Easy Rider, but the 1969 soundtrack album (also available on CD) from the film had instead a cover version by the group Smith.
		Easy Rider was the surprise box-office hit of the summer of 1969, a low-budget film about a couple of hippies who use their profits from a drug deal to drive their motorcycles across the Southwest and attend New Orleans' Mardi Gras celebrations, encountering adventures and tragedy along the way.
		When Easy Rider became a successful film upon release, a decision was made to release a soundtrack album, and most labels agreed to license their tracks to Dunhill/ABC.

	Sweetheart of the Rodeo
		In interviews with the Byrds and others about "Ballad of Easy Rider," Bob Dylan has variously been credited with writing all the song's lyrics, half the lyrics, and the lyrics to the first verse.
		Dylan declined to write a song for the film Easy Rider, but jotted the first verse on a napkin and handed it to Peter Fonda, telling him to give it to McGuinn.
		Even those with a broader notion of the film's subject matter were probably puzzled by the content of the LP, which apart from the title song had nothing whatsoever to do with the film.

		Of course, the record company used the "Easy Rider" connection to promote the album, albeit in a misleading way, for instance the biker image on the cover and the advertisements that touted the album as an "interpretation" of the film.
		"Ballad" was an honest collection that had no intentions of marking yet another new era of The Byrds' history, and the group is certainly rewarded for their honesty, delivering a sincere and unforgettable body of work.
		When Columbia Records released "The Ballad of Easy Rider" in 1969, they advertised that "the movie gave you the facts, the 'Ballad' interprets them." How dead-on they were: while "Easy Rider" depicted a democratic America, "The Ballad of Easy Rider" IS everyman's America captured in music.

	Ballad Of Easy Rider - From the Columbia film, Easy Rider
		The sound of Dimitri Tiomkin is the sound of Hollywood's Golden Age, for it was this prolific composer who provided the soundtrack to many memorable moments in American film history.
		The anti-establishment youth culture of the 1960s finally came into its own cinematically with Easy Rider, the cult favorite about two motorcycling rebels "in search of America." It made the careers of Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper, and established Jack Nicholson, who appeared in a brief but superbly shaded characterization.
		The soundtrack also addressed itself to its young audience with songs by such contemporary artists as Steppenwolf, Jimi Hendrix and The Byrds, whose "Ballad Of Easy Rider" became an immediate generational anthem.

	The Byrds / Ballad of Easy Rider / Legacy Recordings
		A kinder and gentler return to The Byrds' folkie beginnings, Ballad Of Easy Rider boiled the band down to its essential heavenly harmonies with songs and tempos that insinuated rather than agitated.
		The album is a loose ballad cycle about the open road and the loves, losses and lessens that dot the way.
		Medicine for the times [1969], this was music for healing and, if necessary escape, with its quietly beguiling blend of dusty laments and luxuriant folk-pop and the gentle narrative tug of the songs.

	Soundtrack Album: Easy Rider Deluxe Edition
		The Band's original version of "The Weight" was used in the score for the classic film Easy Rider, but for contractual reasons the 1969 soundtrack album replaced The Band with a cover version by the group Smith
		The 2004 "Deluxe" reissue contains a CD with the same 10 tracks as the original LP, and then adds a second disc with an assortment of classic rock from the psychedelic era, among them the original "The Weight" and the Byrds' cover of "You Ain't Going Nowhere" from the Basement Tapes.
		None of the 19 tracks on disc 2, except "The Weight," were used in Easy Rider.

		The first is the most memorable “Ballad of Easy Rider,” which is an utterly breathtaking and gorgeous song (that, frankly, I wasn’t expecting The Byrds to be able to do at this stage in their career).
		And then there’s a “long version” of “Ballad of Easy Rider” even though it’s a few seconds short of the original.

		While not generally regarded as one of the group's major works, in retrospect this release stands alongside Untitled as the finest work of The Byrds' final period.

		By 1969, the Byrds had already been through the Gram Parsons-fired country rock innovations of SWEETHEART OF THE RODEO, and had just lost Chris Hillman, the last original member except for Roger McGuinn.
		McGuinn was involved in so many extracurricular activities that he found little time to compose new material for EASY RIDER.
		His sole writing credit is the stellar title tune, co-written with Dylan for the famous biker film that gives this album its name (disliking the film, Dylan removed his name from the song).
