Byrds (1970) Just Like a Woman

Roger McGuinn's Dylan esque vocals are far more melodic and emotive than the counterculture' poet laureate and so delivers an exquisite crystal clear folk guitar version powered by a organ and rock rhythm section of Skip Battin and the frenetic groove of Gene Parsons. Here the tender vocals bring the human warmth and romance to the fore lacking from Dylan original that lead to the foolish misinterpretation of the song as some sort of  misogynist put down, which it clearly is not.
