I gotta admit, I can't hear that without getting all verklempt, and not just because I've been a dog owner. Also, frankly, if you can listen to it without your tear ducts being exercized, I don't want to know from you.
And speaking of irony, I should add that White would be fatally run over by a drunk driver as he was loading his amp into the trunk of his car behind L.A's The Troubador club a mere two years later.
Presumably, the guy who did it is currently being sodomized amidst sulfurous fumes by Satan himself.
Have a great weekend, everybody!!!

Achingly beautiful! I’ve always loved this record.
Didn't love the album but loved this track.
It's a very meh album save for that song...
I've seen more than one interview with Crosby where he smirks at their firing of him because they said, "We can do better without you." In fact, in terms of influence, you can still hear the Clarence White Byrds in most modern country right up to the present day. While the original Byrds may have been crucial to the jangle-punk scene of the '80s, you don't hear that sound much anymore in pop and, of course, the lodestar of that music was McGuinn anyway.
Tiffany Queen is the other winner from the album.
Captain Al
You can file this one next to 'Shannon.'
