Barking Spiders Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Bob wrote many great songs....the best renditions being done by others as I think many would agree.This cracker came into my had today, out of the blue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mykesbass Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 (edited) I'm one of the few in the disagree camp! However, The Byrd's, Chimes of Freedom is a majestic rendition of an amazing, and still sadly relevant song.

asingardenof Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Definitely prefer Hendrix's version of All Along The Watchtower to the original. 8 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveXFR Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Bob Dylan wrote brilliant songs for better musicians to cover. Having said that, here's the Ministry cover of Lay Lady Lay. I don't know what I like about it but I do so here it is. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dankology Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 (edited) What about his own cover of One Too Many Mornings recorded live with (most of) The Band in 1966: Also the Bunnymen did a great cover of It's All Over... very much I the style of Them.

uk_lefty Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 One of the songs I grew up on, my Mum absolutely loved this (still does). I bought her a Dylan cassette one birthday as I was starting to get into music myself only to be told that she hates everything about him, but likes other people singing his songs!! I don't necessarily agree but I see where she's coming from. Anyhow, this is the first thing I think of for Bob Dylan covers. https://youtu.be/qcwP2ulxDdY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul_5 Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 I've always had a soft spot for the Black Crowes version of "Rainy Day Women #12 & 35". Let's face it, if anyone could deliver the lyric "everybody must get stoned" then it's those chaps. https://youtu.be/2FTCSie0Z6g Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diskwave Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 (edited) Im sorry but that thing by 'The Ministry'? above should have been put down at birth. Get just a tad annoyed when those with no talent at all muck around with great works from the great and the good. Its like punking up a Bach Minuet....why would you do it, what is the cover artist trying to prove? Show the tune and the creator the respect it deserves. Anyway that Manfred Mann version sounds good, never heard it before...Nice nod to the original vibe.

casapete Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 I love a great Dylan cover song - earliest I recall were by The Byrds, probably before I knew who Dylan was! 'Mr tambourine man, 'My back pages' and 'All I really want to do' being some of my favourites, along with 'You ain't going nowhere'. Loved the way the Rickenbacker electric 12 string was used on some of these. However, along with 'All along the watchtower' by Jimi, this is probably my most played Dylan song. Also covered by Sam Cooke, Stevie blew me away with his version from 1966 when he was not yet 16 years old. Backed by The Funk Brothers (and sounds like JJ on bass?), this always makes me stop in my tracks, just wonderful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
