should've played all of Dylans songs lyrics - can you imagine if the Byrds had done ALL the lyrics for Mr Tamborine Man instead of the second verse?
McGuinn would later do "Up to me" (badly) for his "pirate" album but the Byrds did good Dylan covers (asides from the frightful Up To Me cover - the orginal off Dylan's Biograph) |

And I sometimes I wished the Byrds and Gene wold just have kept on singing ALL the vesres to those Dylan songs.. Chimes, Tambourine Man..I think the lyrics/lines are just beautiful to hear when they're sung... |
