The Byrds were an American rock band, formed in Los Angeles, California in 1964. The original five-piece line-up of The Byrds consisted of Jim McGuinn (lead guitar, vocals), Gene Clark (tambourine, vocals), David Crosby (rhythm guitar, vocals), Chris Hillman (bass guitar, vocals), and Michael Clarke (drums). However, this version of the band was relatively short-lived and by early 1966, Clark had left due to problems associated with anxiety and his increasing isolation within the group. The Byrds continued as a quartet until late 1967, when Crosby and Clarke also departed the band.
"John Riley" (also known as "Johnny Riley", "The Broken Token" and "A Fair Young Maid All in Her Garden", among other titles) is a traditional English folk song.

Jon Patrick Riley (Irish: Seán Pádraic Ó Raghallaigh), also known as John Patrick O'Riley, (c. 1805 – August 1850), a United States Army private, was one of the several hundred immigrant Catholic Irishmen who defected from the US Army and formed the Saint Patrick's Battalion to fight for Mexico in the 1846-48 Mexican-American War. Riley led the battalion as a brevet major commissioned by Mexico.

One of my life favorite songs, this version still takes me back to Bangkok when I first heard this album, at Nancy and Cary's house a few days before I first entered Vientiane. Loved it then and still today. Thank You for providing this version for me to hear today, when it again could make a difference still. I am grateful

5D is a great album ~ very interesting mix of English/scottish folk with the Byrd's treatment (very effective) and pyschedelic rock like Eight Miles, I see You, What's Happening???, with the obligatory freeform freakout.
