   Too true!  Many have tried, but I've never heard anyone else capture
 that feeling the way that Johnson did.  Likewise with a lot of Dylan's
 early songs.  I agree that nobody else delivers them quite like Bobbie 
 himself.

   I do have to admit to a fondness for Byrd-like harmonies, though.  ;-)
