I always listen to the next very-experiential and scenic track on this landmark 1966 Byrds album, which is certainly the best version of one of the best folk songs ever, Wild Mountain Thyme; also known as "Purple Heather" and "Will Ye Go, Lassie, Go?" Based on old Scottish and Irish airs, it's first form was "The Braes of Balquhither" by Scottish poet Robert Tannahill (1774–1810). Francis Peake of the UK put together the song we know, and recorded and released it in 1957.

It has been recorded by over 80 artists, including:
Judy Collins
Joan Baez
The New Christy Minstrels
Lee Mallory
Bob Dylan
Marianne Faithful
Van Morrison
Bert Jansch (of Pentangle)
Glenn Frey
Rod Stewart
The Irish Rovers
Lisa Lynne
James Taylor
Thin Lizzy
many more-recent artists
etc.
"carry your cup in your hand!"
