Chris Hillman and Roger McGuinn—two co-founding members of the Byrds—recently teamed up to record "Here She Comes Again," a song they co-wrote almost 40 years ago.

"For 'New Old John Robertson,' I did a slight rewrite last year," Hillman said. "I just added a bridge with all due respect to Roger. Gene Clark’s wonderful 'She Don’t Care About Time'—I've always loved it. Such a haunting lyric.
