I give you John Wright.

Just another yardbird.

Enjoy his ode to Kirsten the Peacock.

Birdie num num!

Gaurav Sethi said...: scorpi, i'd first heard this song on a jeff beck group tape. even this version sounded like beck, tho yeah, as SR says, page and ec were with the yardbirds too. btw i'm all for page too.

anyway you got me dng a search on the song, and allmusic.com helped out, they even have single song reviews -

"A minor-key, folksy melody carries the song along, while Jeff Beck's sinewy electric guitar solo is the most identifiable ingredient in the brilliant arrangement."
