Today's tune is from the Yardbirds, one of the most influential groups in rock history. Their original lead guitarist was Eric Clapton, who left just as they became successful. This was their last single featuring his replacement, Jeff Beck, by himself on lead guitar. They brought studio legend Jimmy Page into the band to share the lead parts on the next single, creating a chain of events that gave rise to Led Zeppelin several years later. Yes, it's kind of convoluted, and a story best left for another day.
