‘Change Is Now' is a tribute to The Byrd's entire catalog from 1964 to 1973. Christian Parker & Gary Jacob produced this fifteen-song deep-dive collection. "We wanted to pick songs off the beaten path that never had the exposure they deserved, Parker said" The first volume 'Sweethearts' A Tribute to the Byrds 'Sweetheart of the Rodeo" was released in the summer of 2023. Original session player Earl Poole Ball & Christian Parker produced the 1968 classic, and original pedal steel guitar player JayDee Maness contributed. 'Change Is Now' has the rigging of a Rickenbacker 12-string electric guitar and a B-bender telecaster, with many Gene Clark original compositions. Earl Poole Ball played on three songs, one of which he performed while on the road with Johnny Cash for 20 years!

'Sweethearts' is a tribute to the 1968's classic 'Sweetheart of The Rodeo' album. Christian Parker & Earl Poole Ball, one of the original sessions, co-produced and contributed piano to this modern interpretation. Jaydee Maness, one of the original pedal steel players making a special appearance, joined the sessions. In 1968 the album managed to disappoint and, in many cases, alienate almost everyone who heard it. It would be much later before it was recognized as the iconic piece of work that it is. 'Sweetheart of The Rodeo' is widely regarded as the album defining country rock, but the rock part is almost silent. The whole thing is almost out and out of the country, with huge dollops of pedal steel, banjo, fiddle, and almost everything other kinds of instrument you would expect to hear in the mainstream twangy country that existed at that time."
