'Byrdified' Roger McGuinn cover posted

Post by beatbyrd »

Hi, I just posted a pair of 'Byrdified' covers of "May the Road Rise to Meet You". The reason for two versions of the same song is so that I could do a cover with all of the original verses and choruses AND also do an AM radio-friendly version, which is more in keeping with what the Byrds did with MTM. I took some liberties with Roger's original version of the song. I jangled it up a bit. Here's the link: http://beatbyrd.com/roger_mcguinn
Thanks. Tom

This is to me one of the most touching songs Roger performs. And whenever I listen his recording I invariably fill in the missing third harmony part. As always, great and sensitively done cover, Tom. Thanks for posting this.
