Positively Fourth Street performed live by The Byrds
Having lyrics by Bob Dylan and music by The Byrds with lead guitar by Clarence White, makes this easliy one of my favorite songs. There are other artist who covered this song, but this imo is probably the best cover of this song. Sometimes when I can't sleep at night, I put headphones on and just have this song on repeat and listen to it over and over, I love Clarence White playing and it's a true gem of a song. He came up with the idea of the B-bender and does all kind of trick with it while playing lead, he is influential to a lot of guitarist, even Jimi Hendrix was fan of his (White's) playing. He was hit by a drunk driver when he was only 29, and thinking about how talented he was and the family and friends he left behind - what a tragic lost. I hang on every note he plays throughout the song. Dylan's lyrics are pretty straightforward and angry, it's less cryptic than other songs he wrote (it's as if he took the words from an actual argument and put it in a song).
