* The lyrics to this song originally were drawn from part of Welsh poet Idris Davies' poetic work and was originally recorded by Pete Seeger in 1958.  This band's version is the most popular by far and was also influential on The Beatles, particularly George Harrison, who constructed his song, If I Needed Someone, around the same guitar riff.  Name the band and extra credit for the name of the track released in 1965...
 
*A 2011 album from this late 60's (and beyond) west coast band found their leader re-exploring some Chicago blues roots.  No stranger to performing old blues numbers in concert...the album is a collection of old blues classics but with some 2011 influence.  Name the band...and their leader...
