In what may be the highest honor a garage band can receive, the Premiers were covered by Neil Young who gave "Farmer John" the full-on Crazy Horse treatment. "Farmer John" was written and originally recorded by Don and Dewey from Pasadena, though the hit version was the Premiers'.
@gingercls Thanks! And you're welcome, whenever I can find info (not easy sometimes with some garage bands who only ever recorded 2 tracks!) I'll post it :)

From http://whenyoumotoraway.blogspot.fr/2013/06/friday-nuggets-farmer-john-premiers.html : The Premiers had themselves a better name than they may have realized. They were one of the early architects of the American garage rock sound with their 1964 top 20 hit "Farmer John".
