This song came up on the iPod this week and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Although I have it on that first boxed set, I do not own its source album "Untitled" Hmmm...maybe time to re-think that decision...

crthead says I like the guitar in it. I wondered why the sound seemed a little hollow, but then when I heard the clapping at the end, I realized it was a live performance. Tasty Der Mahrk!

mktackabery says I'm afraid I'm more on the Byrds side unfortunately. I can only handle the bile in small doses. That bell-ringing guitar sound gets me every time. Nice one d.

ivylander says It's too hard to choose between the two versions. Dylan's is the city cousin, this one the country cousin. Both "get" the song.

Bartleby says You've done it again, haven't you? You've managed to sell us some Byrds and Dylan when we're supposed to be revising our Jules Shears. That was sly, real sly.

dermahrk says The Jules posts take some work. Posts like this can be done in 5 minutes and even I need to mix it up a little bit!

uncle creepy says nice, hadn't heard this version before. Clarence White, who played guitar on this, added a lot to The Byrds sound, especially in concert. Another cover The Byrds did that may even cut the soulful original by William Bell is "You Don't Miss Your Water" (on Sweetheart of the Rodeo). I haven't heard Otis Redding's cover. Maybe Dylan oughta do it, with a healthy portion of bile!

dermahrk says Yes, Clarence was incredible. I remember reading that he grew up thinking that pedal steel guitar parts were actually being played on regular 6-string electrics, and his style evolved from trying to duplicate that. Incredible. By the way, I did end up buying this CD a few weeks ago.
