Leo Kottke - Eight Miles High

Eight Miles High was written by Clark, McGuinn and Crosby of The Byrds. They were inspired by Ravi Shankar's sitar and John Coltrane's saxophone. It may have resulted in the first psychedelic record. There are many covers of this song; Golden Earring, Hüsker Dü, Roxy Music, Shockabilly. I chose Leo Kottke's fingerpicking.
