		Miss Rodeo Mississippi Sweetheart is young ladies who are six years old or under, at the time of the pageant, who exemplifies the virtue and morality of a sport that to so many is a way of life.
		Miss Rodeo Mississippi Sweethearts are outgoing, exceptional horsewomen with knowledge of the Sport of Rodeo, the equine industry, and the State of Mississippi.
		She should understand the sport of rodeo in its entirety, enough to be able to explain and “sell” rodeo to anyone with whom she may come in contact, and be able to speak intelligently, with dignity and sincere interest in rodeo.

		Sweetheart of the Rodeo should have been the third and most widely-spun of these platters, but the album was wrecked in the post-production by extra-artistic forces.
		The unfortunate footnote to Sweetheart of the Rodeo goes as follows: Because of contractual disputes involving Parsons and the LHI label, many of the brilliant details of Sweetheart were erased or overdubbed.

	California Rodeo Salinas - History
		The word "rodeo" is derived from the Spanish word "rodear" meaning to roundup, and was the name used in the Spanish Ranchero days when the semi-wild herds of cattle were gathered in the spring for branding, ear-marking and castration.
		In 1924, with the title cleared, the rodeo was reincorporated as the "California Rodeo, Inc." and a municipal bond issue in the amount of $40,000 was passed.
		Later, in 1929, the contest evolved into the "Sweetheart of the Rodeo" and was won by Miss Lilian Kirschner of Santa Clara County.

		Sweetheart of the Rodeo has never been my favorite Byrds album, but I can never ignore the guts it took for the group to record the album and tour behind it.
		Although Sweetheart was mainly the idea of Chris Hillman and Gram Parsons, Roger Mcguinn jumped right in and took off with it.

	The Music Box: The Byrds - Sweetheart of the Rodeo [Deluxe Edition] (Album Review)
		Since the advent of the CD, The Byrds’ Sweetheart of the Rodeo has been released on several occasions: first, in its original but horrible sounding format; then as a remastered, expanded collection featuring several remarkable bonus tracks.
		Fueling the new direction was the fact that the group had undergone a series of major personnel shifts, most notably the departure of David Crosby and the addition of Gram Parsons.
		In the end, Sweetheart of the Rodeo turned out to be the perfect culmination of the experience, a country album with a rock attitude that left an impressionable mark on music, changing its landscape forever.

		A few years later Roger McGuinn and company pioneered country-rock on Sweetheart of the Rodeo, the album that turned me into a fan of traditional country music.
		It took me a few listens to begin to enjoy Sweetheart because - though born and raised in the South - I was never much of a country music fan.

		Originally released on August 30, 1968, Sweetheart of The Rodeo was a departure for the Byrds due to sweeping personnel changes.
		To discuss Sweetheart of The Rodeo, the focus clearly falls on Gram Parsons, especially the way the second repackaging of the album is laid out.
		This is a sweetheart of a release that will delight the loyal while attracting the uninitiated into taking a Byrd’s eye view of some essential listening.

	BBC - Radio 2 - Critical List - Coldplay: A Rush of Blood to the Head
		Sweetheart of the Rodeo was a brave excursion for The Byrds into what was widely held by the rock community as a genre characterised by hick attitudes and boho sentiments, the kind of things the younger generation were busy rebelling against.
		There, country shared space with psychedelia and space rock, but by the time Sweetheart was made, the band had all but jettisoned them in favour of a return to what Roger McGuinn saw as the roots of American music.
		Sweetheart of the Rodeo marked the last time the band was truly groundbreaking.

		The grail of Disc 1 are the versions of “Sweetheart” songs sung by then-Byrds member Gram Parsons, who went on to fame (and infamy) in his own right.
		Otherwise, “Sweetheart” features the group’s straightforward take on country, as well as two excellent Dylan tunes and the R&B standard “You Don’t Miss Your Water.” Then as now, it’s a refreshing, honorable attempt to play traditional music with a rock attitude, a brave act of playing “redneck” music to the “hippie” faithful.

	Sweetheart of the Rodeo
		Whoever sang lead on the songs on Sweetheart of the Rodeo were there not because of what we could do legally but because that's how we wanted to slice the album up.
		McGuinn's Sweetheart vocal is earnest and straightforward, but the Parsons lead is soulful and poignant, with some of the cracking and straining that give his vocals their heartbreaking quality on later albums.
		Sweetheart of the Rodeo is a testament to the vision and enthusiasm of Byrds insider Hillman and upstart outsider Parsons, who commandeered a successful, established rock band and steered it in a radical new direction.

		The Byrds' Sweetheart of the Rodeo was not the first important country-rock album (Gram Parsons managed that feat with The International Submarine Band's debut Safe at Home), and The Byrds were hardly strangers to country music, dipping their toes in the twangy stuff as early as their second album.
		But no major band had gone so deep into the sound and feeling of classic country (without parody or condescension) as the Byrds did on Sweetheart; at a time when most rock fans viewed country as a musical "L'il Abner" routine, the Byrds dared to declare that C&W could be hip, cool, and heartfelt.
		While many cite this as more of a Gram Parsons album than a Byrds set, given the strong country influence of McGuinn and Hillman's later work, it's obvious Parsons didn't impose a style upon this band so much as he tapped into a sound that was already there, waiting to be released.

		Fans of the Byrds' psychedelic brand of folk-rock were left baffled by the band's sudden about face in the direction of country music on Sweetheart of the Rodeo.
		Ahead of its time, Sweetheart of the Rodeo was a groundbreaking act of rebellion away from the classic rock sound of its day, entirely different from anything the Byrds (or anyone else) had recorded before.
		Over 30 years later, we can step back and realize that Sweetheart of the Rodeo was a deliberate act of musical defiance exemplifying the true spirit of Rock and Roll.

		The Sweetheart’s initial interview score, along with participation in ticket sales and volunteering hours are all determining factors of advancing to compete for Fair and Rodeo Queen in the luncheon and Queen contest.

		Well, it’s rodeo season again...and, as usual, I’ve been under much financial strain, so I got me a part-time job up there at the rodeo, like I have every year for the past three years–even though after each rodeo season I promise myself I won’t go back.
		The crowd of cowboys–barbecued turkey leg in one hand, other hand in the back pocket of their sweethearts’ blue jeans–parted as she walked toward me. As she neared, I noticed a crown around the brim of her hat, rhinestones gleaming in the shape of hearts and the numbers 1999.
		I led her in stumbling dizziness to the double ferris wheel, which we immediately boarded, since the "Miss Sunshine Cow Patty Sweetheart of the Rodeo 1999 Early Twenties Division" didn’t have to wait in line for anything at any rodeo event for the duration of her reign.

		It was what you wanted to hear when you were packing your car on a dewy morning for a car ride west, music that offered hope, as Dylan put it, to "every hung-up person in the whole wide universe." And as a harbinger of psychedelic music, it was as dead as a dodo by 1967.
		With "Sweetheart of the Rodeo" (1968), the band found a hat -- a Stetson no less -- and stuck with it, at least for that album.
		Columbia, though still supportive, did not know how to market "Sweetheart of the Rodeo." At the end of the rerelease you'll hear a radio ad from the time.

		If asked for my all-time list of top 10 albums (and we all love to play this game), I would surely include the Byrds' "Sweetheart of the Rodeo." It was the blueprint country-rock album that influenced the Eagles and all of their successors.
		Also included are the lead vocals that Parsons originally did for such "Sweetheart" tracks as "The Christian Life," but that were cut because of contractual troubles surrounding an Internationial Submarine Band album.
		General music listeners are still advised to pick up "Sweetheart of the Rodeo" in its original version, but collectors and diehard Parsons fans will enjoy sifting through some of these alternate takes and the International Submarine Band material.
