My own version of a song by The Byrds. It has a nice 'psychedelic section' between the vocal verses and then again in the ending section.

Story behind the song
I've always liked this slightly obscure 'Psychedelic/Country', song by The Byrds, which is hidden in the Easy Rider movie soundtrack. I was very surprised to discover that it wasn't a Byrds original, but was actually written by Gerry Goffin and Carole King ! there's a revelation ! I thought that it would fit in nicely into The Lykes Of Wytch project. I don't think that I've strayed too far away from my original 'brief' and into 'Americana' here. I've used my Yamaha APX-4A acoustic guitar (miked up), Parker Fly electric guitar and Rickenbacker 4003 bass.
