With that out of the way, you summed up my thoughts for these guys very well here. For myself, I think I am just spoiled; there's just better and more interesting folk/country/pop/rock music out there. I get why somebody like Paul Simon or Graham Nash would take inspiration here, but as the cliche goes, the Everlys walked so their descendents could run.
By the way, if you want to hear a wacky version of Willow Garden, check out Art Garfunkel's version on Angel Clare. Terribly mixed, but you can see where he was going with it. Apparently Paul is on vocals in that recording too, but it's pretty hard to tell.
THANKS FOR THE NEW CONTENT, GEORGE!!!!!

You're welcome! Yes, this one is probably more for the historians.
Art probably wanted to make a psychedelic experience out of the song, but a hallucinatory murder ballad is still a murder ballad. :)
