Track:
Listening to Tom Petty covers (reference "Something in the Air) it dawned on me that Tom has done some truly reverential covers. To wit - this one - I'll post the original first:
The Byrds were the first electric champions of Bob Dylan's songs. Dylan in turn praised the exotic balladry of main writing Byrd Gene Clark. "I remember him saying, 'Gene is really interesting to me,' " said bassist Chris Hillman. Clark's articulate melancholy and beguiling melodies were on blazing display here, draped in Roger McGuinn's twelve-string jangle.

The Tom Petty rendition
I will be playing Byrds tracks until the day I die. At the moment I can't think of a better U.S. band in the 60s than the early Byrds.
Ah yes, hailed as the American "Beatles"
