chocolate watchband - baby blue

Has there ever been a bad version of "...Baby Blue" ?? I've not heard one

Several mentioned on this thread, and Bryan Ferry's is spectacular, too.

Bob doing "Lost Highway" with Joan Baez in Don't Look Back! (to go the opposite direction)

Sonny A.: I think Falco's version of "...Baby Blue" counts as bad, yes indeed.

Rod Stewart - Mama You Been On My Mind

(cos Fairport's Percy's Song's already been mentioned)

Chronicles would lead one to believe that Bob himself would pick Johnny Rivers's version of "Positively 4th Street."

Mayfly, "It Ain't Me Babe" From Duluth Does Dylan http://www.spinoutrecords.com/duluth

Reading this thread, I'm embarassed that I've heard very few of these covers, so I have to go with the boring (but brilliant) pick -- "Mr Tambourine Man" by the Byrds.

Faces - Wicked Messenger

thirteen years pass...

I saw a guy do an acapella cover of "Spanish Harlem Incident" three years ago at a very small (amazing) experimental/avant garde venue where I live. I was in the front row so he was like 3 feet away from me. He fucking belted it, stretched it out to 5 or 6 minutes. It was astonishing, I still think about it a lot and just the memory has brought me to tears. I have the poster somewhere, I've gotta find that guy's name and send him a note or something.

Nice! Lucky he chose that song from Another Side instead of Ballad in Plain D.

Nina Simone - I Shall Be Released

Hey, Kornrules — I have a question for you

Yes? I hope you're not some angry Ballad In Plain D fan.

My OPO from 13 years ago still stands, nothing can top Bryan Ferry's Hard Rain. But another excellent Dylan cover is the band 16 Horsepower who do a fantastic cover of Nobody 'Cept You

“Are birds free from the chains of the skyway?”

You'll have to ask my friends from the prison.
