The background harmonies and the folk/country flavor come through.
That’s a good thing because I’m a huge Byrd’s fan.

Hi rokdog!
Thank you! Yes, I am a huge Byrds fan, too. And you are probably right; it may sound more like Roger McGuinn covering Bruce. I certainly was very strongly influenced by Roger McGuinn's use of the Rickenbacker 12-string. Even my playing the Rick 12 with my fingers and a thumb pick is closer to McGuinn's style than it is to Tom Petty's style.
I also appreciated the harmony sounds on this song and wanted to bring them out a little more than I usually do.
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! Much appreciated!
