The LA-based DeMena’s homage to the 1967 classic is part of a compilation series honoring music from artists including The Doors, Talking Heads, and Warren Zevon, which will be released via Rhino Entertainment. Speaking about the cover, DeMena comments:
“I wanted to pay tribute to this timeless classic with a cover that stayed true to the essence and soul of the original while also taking the song through different sonic landscapes.”
