The bits where it follows the Byrds version are nice at the start of each verse - then it gets tangled and you pine for the Byrds version. Interesting tho.
the great jackie sounds wonderful hear but the byrds did a fabulous job with their beautiful trademark harmonies and mcguinn's 12 string guitar. the best tribute to jackie or any songwriter, is how many people want to record her songs.
just so very different from the Bo Diddley beat of the Byrds. Finally I HEAR all the words. very, very nice. like another song so you can like both the Byrds and this.
Beautiful plucking and beautiful singing. I'm not one of those people who automatically insists the writer's original is always best, or that "simpler is better" - I think that attitude is mostly 70s singer-songwriter schlock, and I love the polish of Spector and Motown. That said, this version beats the Byrds right outta the sky - their somewhat bland harmonies pale in comparison to Jackie's beautiful blend of folk and soul, and the lovely Fmaj7-G strumming between verses.

I had only heard the Byrd's version, and I love this one at least as much (maybe better!). This song makes any woman feell better about herself.

After loving The Byrds' version all these years I was always dying to hear the demo...and it did not disappoint! Thank you so much for posting it.
