Great cover. It should have been a Beatle song and it would have been a classic rock tune like Revolution, Yer Blues, and Helter Skelter.

Thanks for the kudos. We feel this cover is WORTHY too! It just came together. Hadn't played it but one time before laying the track and it has a raw immediacy I think.

Haven't heard this tune in ages!! You guy's really did a solid job on this old Lennon classic! Thanks for the post!!

We did this on the first take. Hunter suggested the odd guitar work due to the lyrics. This turned out to be one of our favorites and really has a great beat with some 'open space'

thanks for all the comments. My brother Paul Henry did the great vocals on this. We never played it together and this was the first time I tried the song. Just decided to lay this track down on a whim really. @horonziton: I believe I had an Alvarez strat going on this one switching between the pickups 'answering' to the vocals. I had a Behringer V-Amp for the effects. Hunter Brown laid down a strong beat and all came together really well to our surprise. Recording Engineer: John Bass
