This is the worst version of Wichita Lineman EVAR!
And who ever posted this on LLC should be voted the worst DJ EVAR!
It's a disgrace to the legacy of Dennis Brown even though he was only a teen at this recording..
As a matter of fact, this is so bad that I think whoever posted this should be sent before a firing squad and shot. There.
RIP DENNIS BROWN. AMEN

This is one of the worst selections by maestro!
Not even Esther Phillips version of And I Love Her makes the grade cause I can only hear Paul's voice in her effort. It just does not work for me at all. She squanders her voice on this and who ever advised this project should be fired! Terrible!

I wonder if the Boyoyo Boys ever sued Paul Simon for his rip off of their intro.. sounds like a part of Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes. Just saying.

Byrds? Sorry but not a good bunch of songs at all.. not even close!

Ouch!! LOL LOL!! Yes, Brown's arrangement of the song is not the best, but man!! what a freekinn voice. Amazing. And only 15!! But your criticism is spot on.

The Byrd's tune is one of my favorites. Crosby's brilliant harmony and McGuinn's powerful Rickenbacker 12 string electric guitar are fabulous.

Even with my sometimes disagreement with you, you sir, are a great critic. You missed your calling. Seriously, u take in everything. And you are brutally honest. LOL!!!

"Crosby's brilliant harmony and McGuinn's powerful Rickenbacker 12 string electric guitar are fabulous."
Oh mannnn, how could I have missed that guitar detail? Dammmitt

And frankly, i've never heard a Crosby harmony that wasn't brilliant, especially in 'Suite: Judy Blue Eyes'..he & Nash - music at its best!!!!!
