Audio sample? ="I’ll Feel a Whole Lot Better" is a 1965 song by the Californian folk-rock band, The Byrds. It appears on their debut album, "Mr. Tambourine Man". It was written and sung by Gene Clark. Though never released as a single a-side (it appeared on the b-side of "All I Really Want To Do"), the song is now considered one of the group's, as well as Clark's, best songs.
The song features some of the trademarks of the early Byrds sound: backing vocals from Roger McGuinn and David Crosby, and a country-influenced guitar solo, played by McGuinn on his 12 string Rickenbacker.
Cover versions
Tom Petty covered the song on his first solo album (without the Heartbreakers) from 1989, "Full Moon Fever".
The Israeli band Hazvuvim (The Flys) performed a version of the song translated into Hebrew on their debut album "Bzzz...". Confusingly, the Hebrew version was called "Hasiba hi she...," which means "The Reason Why", a different Byrds song.
San Francisco's Flamin' Groovies also released a letter-perfect cover of the song on their 1978 Sire Records release "Flamin' Groovies Now."
Argentinian rock musician Charly García covered the song on his 1990 album "Filosofía Barata y Zapatos de Goma". The track was named "Me Siento Mucho Mejor."
Juice Newton covers the song on her album "Old Flame" but the song is slightly retitled as "Feel A Whole Lot Better."
