Great Speckled Bird is a country rock album by Great Speckled Bird, a band formed in 1969 by Canadian musicians Ian and Sylvia Tyson. The other group members at the time of recording were Buddy Cage, on pedal steel guitar, Amos Garrett, on guitar and backup vocals, and N.D. Smart, on drums. Nashville session musicians David Briggs and Norbert Putnam sat in, with Briggs on piano and Putnam on bass guitar.[1][2][3] Although founding member Ken Kalmusky is listed in the original liner notes, he had actually departed the group prior to recording.[1]

The album is notable for being the first album to be produced by Todd Rundgren.
