Farther Along is the 11th album by the American rockbandThe Byrds and was released in November 1971 on Columbia Records (see1971 in music). For the most part, the album was recorded and produced by The Byrds themselves in London, England, over the course of five work-intensive days in July 1971. It was quickly released as a reaction to the commercial failure of The Byrds' previous album, Byrdmaniax, and as an attempt to stem the criticism that album was receiving in the music press.Byrdmaniax had suffered from excessive and inappropriate orchestration, which producerTerry Melcher had applied to the album, allegedly without the band's consent. As such, Farther Along can be seen as the band's answer to Melcher's over-production as well as an attempt to prove that they could produce an album superior to Byrdmaniax themselves. Unfortunately, the rapidity with which The Byrds planned and recorded Farther Along resulted in yet another uneven LP, which the band themselves were unhappy with and which failed to undo the damage to their reputation inflicted by Byrdmaniax.
Farther Along is an American novel written by Donald Harington. It was published in 2008.
Plot
The Bluff Dweller decides to abandon modern living, to vanish from society, so he begins living like a Native-American inside a cave up in the Ozark Mountains. The Bluff Dweller nearly drinks himself to death, but two women save him.
Characters
The Bluff Dweller– the protagonist of the novel and only identifier for his name that is given by Harington, former curator of a museum of U.S. historical treasures, who has left his life to live in a stone cave, and to take on the appearance of the people who used to live in such places, "Bluff Dwellers".
Eliza Cunningham– an attractive historian who wants to study the paramour of a former governor of the state. She is also the love interest of the Bluff Dweller.
French horn– a mysterious narrator of the novel, may be a woman's monologue.

Spirit - Colossus - Farther Along 1976 LP with Randy California
One of my all time favorite songs - [email protected]
www.saskatoonsnaps.com/favoritesongs.htm
Farther Along was the third album that Spirit released through Mercury Records. Though Jay Ferguson was missing from the lineup, it is generally considered to be their first "reunion" album.
Out of the four albums that Spirit recorded for Mercury in the mid-70s, this one is the least influenced by Randy California's time in Hawaii. However, it isn't too dissimilar from the previous two albums in that regard, though the song structures are very tight throughout. Consequently, it also bears more than a passing resemblance to Clear at times, probably because of John Locke's presence in the group. It is particularly cherished by fans of that album. The album also includes a notable version of Natu...

The album also includes a notable version of Nature's Way, which is arranged for a chamber orchestra.
Though most of the album was issued on the Mercury Years compilation, much of the material included overdubs which were not part of the original recordings. Thankfully, the 2004 CD reissue of this album (as a two-fer with Son of Spirit) contains the original mixes.
