"Mr. Tambourine Man" #1 6/26/1965

Continuing yesterday's post, the Byrds recorded this five days after its writer (Bob Dylan) did; their version borrowed heavily from the Beatles, most likely "What You're Doing." They did the vocals, but only Roger McGuinn played his 12-string Rickenbacker on the finished product - the rest was done by L.A.'s famed Wrecking Crew. The Byrds only used Dylan's chorus-second verse-chorus. The video from "Hullabaloo" has some lip-sync issues.
