Reviews:

1. AllMusic - Bruce Eder
Gene Clark's post-Byrds solo career was as fraught with false starts and unmet promises as his two years with the Byrds were filled with fame, fulfillment, and recognition. Firebyrd was an artistic triumph and a commercial disaster -- released to rave reviews and an enthusiastic response as one of the finest solo projects ever to come from an ex-Byrd, it was killed by poor distribution (demand in Europe, especially Germany and Italy, where fan interest in Clark and the Byrds was very high, resulted in high premiums being paid for used copies). "Rain Song," "Rodeo Rider," and "Something About You" were some of Clark's best songs in years, and his covers of two old Byrds numbers, "Mr. Tambourine Man" and "Feel a Whole Lot Better," are perfectly credible reinterpretations, and he even does justice to Gordon Lightfoot's "If You Could Read My Mind." Not a "lost Byrds album" by any means, but a must-own for any serious Byrds fan. 

Personnel:
Gene Clark (guitar, lead vocals) , Greg Douglas (guitars) , Bret Bloomfield (bass) , David Ossie Ahlers (keyboards, synthesizer) , Herb Pedersen (vocals, harmony) , Thomas Jefferson Kaye (vocals) , Andy Kandanes (drums, backing vocals) , Chris Hillman (vocals) , Bud Shank (flute on 9)
