Main observation so far: Dylan does his songs much better than those who cover him. Hendrix excepted. Most Dylan covers remove both the mean and the funny. |
Have you heard "A Nod to Bob", a collection of Dylan covers, most of which are quite good? Highlights include Guy Davis doing "Sweetheart Like You" and Lucy Kaplansky's version of "It Ain't Me, Babe". It also features Suzzy and Maggie Roche performing "Clothesline Saga", with the immortal lines | Quote | "Have you heard the news?" he said, with a grin,
"The Vice-President's gone mad!"
"Where?" "Downtown." "When?" "Last night."
"Hmm, say, that's too bad!"
"Well, there's nothin' we can do about it," said the neighbor,
"It's just somethin' we're gonna have to forget." |
