    Agreed

    Well, apart from thee worst guitar solo of all time. I'm not saying slather in a whole slick of EVH shred, but Jeebus.

    A muted section of massed string crescendo and glissando would have been so perfect. Perhaps even into top. 5 Goat territory.

    Cue someone talmbout the weariness and melancholy of the Campbell twang echoes the lyric blah di blah

    On the J. Webb tip, there is fizzy-funky for-ya version of "By The Time I Get To Phoenix" on the Enoch Light presents "Warm, Wild & Wonderful" by The NOW Sound of TONY MOTTOLA with the GROOVES LP. The one with the nip-sip cat woman cover.

    I really like Ray Charles' version best. Has a country feel to it.

    Love the way his voice cracks on the first line. Wonderful song, sublime version.
