The Byrds with the title track of their fabulous '69 Ballad Of Easy Rider.
 

 

Boat On The River by Styx off of their '79 Cornerstone LP.

I never cared for Styx's music.  But this song I like.  A far southside Chicago product, prior to their super success as Styx they used to be called TW4.  I remember they'd do gigs at local high school sock hops.

Early British rock 'n roll.  Wonderful, init?

The B-side, You Went Away, should bring back some memories, too, then.

Those are a couple of very excellent ones, bannork.

And another by Rod the Mod.  Maggie May off of his '71 Every Picture Tells A Story LP.  Ray Jackson of Lindisfarne plays mandolin both on this tune and Stewart's Madolin Wind.
 

 

Another favourite song featuring mandolin is R.E.M.'s Losing My Religion off of their '91 Out Of Time album.
 

 

Yes featuring mandolin on Wonderous Stories off of their '77 Going For The One LP.
 

 

Al Stewart with Road To Moscow off of his '73 Past, Present And Future LP.

"Roads To Moscow" is one of Stewart's epic songs, he is reputed to have read forty books researching it.  Stewart's management tells us, "the narrator is a Russian soldier who fought for Russia, but was captured briefly by the Germans."
