Birdland is a studio album by English blues rock band The Yardbirds, released in 2003. The album was the first Yardbirds release in over 35 years; however, the only original 1960s era Yardbirds members are drummer Jim McCarty and rhythm guitarist Chris Dreja. (Jeff Beck does make a guest appearance on "My Blind Life"). New members are John Idan, Gypie Mayo and Alan Glen. Several notable guitarists appear throughout the record, including Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Slash, Johnny Rzeznik, Jeff "Skunk" Baxter, and Brian May.
The album contains seven new tracks composed mostly by McCarty or Dreja, and eight remakes of Yardbirds songs from the 1960s. The song "An Original Man (A Song for Keith)" was dedicated to The Yardbirds' original lead singer, Keith Relf, who died in 1976.
