And throw a little McCoys in there to round it off!

I agree - This is great. Pure genius, a really wonderful recording. The harmonies are the best ever!

  Holy smokes, hooper!   Chiming jangle got dialed past 11!!

Amazing cover of a song that I'm ashamed to say I have not heard yet - going to find the original now.

But WOW!!

How very cool!!!  The Byrds have covered a orh and Geir song!!!


I happen to know Hooper is a big Byrds fan from way back.  There couldn't be a more appropriate outlet for that wonderful sound from the sixties.

Extremely well written song, and fantastic recording of it.  Love it all.

I knew it would be good but....wow! Ultra Unbelievably bona fide stellar number one hit all over it!

STUNNING

Very, very good indeed. Just wonderful on all levels, the production is so crisp and clear, the playing is fantastic, the arrangement is wonderful and the interpretation is really clever. And the vox and harmonies are really quite special. A real tribute to the guys!

Sorry to use this word, but AWESOME!

Cheers,

Nigel
