Nice. Indeed I miss so much beautiful music from the original song, but for its purpose this one is very nice and enjoyable.

That's taken from her covers album 'Mockingbird' which is well worth a listen.

I much prefer the funky version of Pink Floyd’s Money by Dan Reed Network - the original sounds out of place on DSOTM anyway, to me…

I once purchased a Bob Dylan compilation 2 CD set just to get the MP3 rip of The Hurricane. That is the only thing by him that he recorded that I care about. You are right in suggesting that cover versions of his songs are much more appealing, Hendrix - All Along The Watchtower is the obvious one but there are plenty more examples I'm sure.

Hi,

About 50 years ago, one of the best selling bootlegs around, was named "The Basement Tapes" ... and it was 3 LP's. Later this re-surfaced as 2 LP's. The main thing in some of the songs here was that the lyrics were changed somewhat, and different ... fast forward to the release of this stuff more recently, and you do not hear or see anything of this at all ... making the current purchase not worthy of consideration. The last time I saw the triple bootleg listed, it was over $2K.

A poet (any poet), is often known to change words, depending on their mood and the situation, so adding/subtracting/changing different words is a natural function of a "wordsmith" ... and something that the ROCK MUSIC world has a hard time with since they all fight for the purity and virginal states of any music ... never mind Roger, or Chuck Berry, or Elvis!

All in all, Bob's rendition of a lot of the songs that became famous elsewhere (MM once joked that Manfred Mann "made" Bob Dylan with the Mighty Quinn!) is of almost no interest or consequence compared to how so many of his songs were done by others and much better, which suggests that Bob himself does not care about how they sound or come out ... he's done with that song the day it is recorded.

But I doubt that anyone has had more songs covered, than Bob Dylan. We probably could start a list of this, but I'm not sure we would ever end it.

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!
