More precisely, what I heard was an unfamiliar version of a familiar song: the original 1969 recording of "Jesus Is Just Alright" by the Byrds. I hadn't even known that song wasn't a Doobie Brothers original. It was intersting to hear the original version, though it didn't strike me as particularly, ah, Byrds-ish. (Or, hee, avyan.) That is, it wasn't dominated by Roger McGuinn's jangly 12-string guitar work. Which is not a bad thing, of course; who wants to listen to a band that always sounds exactly the same?
A rare treat
