<p>That&#8217;s my favorite Byrds&#8217; Dylan cover.  Great lyrics, but it&#8217;s the sublime harmonies that really make the song for me.</p>
<p>And here&#8217;s a bonus version, from &#8220;Playboy After Dark&#8221;.  It&#8217;s a few months after <em>Sweetheart of the Rodeo</em> was released, and the band had reconfigured when Hillman and Parsons left to start The Flying Burrito Brothers.  Make sure you check out Clarence White&#8217;s work on the gee-tar.  Man was pure genius.</p>

<p>Gotta love those earnest hipsters trying to figure out the best dance moves to proto-country rock.</p>
