The finger picking is remeniscent of Dylean and the Byrds, but really the driver to this song has to be Steve White whose drumming determines where the dynamics of this song goes, who gained a co-production credit for his efforts on this when the album was recordedl this is the way that he was working at the time; live performance in the studio. White would have had a big influence on this one.
Oh!! For those of you who thinks Weller's cover leans towards Hendrix version, i suggest you do your homework. The guitar sound has a distinctive Byrds flavour filtered through Blue Oyster Cult's Don't Fear The Reaper, which was a Byrds pastiche anyway. Once again Mr Weller fantastic version!!
Always liked Paul Weller the man, & shared his love of 60's music. But i often found myself irritated by his obsession with Mod. As my uncle who was an original London Mod in the early 60's said "Mod looked to the future and was dead by 65'" when it was superseded by hippie. A Mod revival was a contradiction in terms..remember Mod is short for Modernist!! My other problem was that a lot of Weller's music sounded like 60's pastiche. But this cover is utterly fantastic. Bravo!! Bravo!! Mr Weller.
it may be but which is remembered more don,t seem to remember hearing the dylan version that much but remember the hendrix version when i was young thanks to my brother

Dylan song but I believe Paul was leaning towards the Hendrix version.
