Rock and Roll Family Trees are an adventure once you climb up them. One of the thickest and richest family trees is The Yardbirds Family Tree.

Our digging and research surprised us as to where The Yardbirds family tree led to, and excited us with new discoveries. We were also able to have a quick conversation with Yardbirds original drummer, Jim McCarty, who was able to confirm and deny these leaves of rock and roll diversity on the Yardbirds Family Tree.
