Is there a Dylan cover more beautiful than Fairport Convention's 'I'll Keep It With Mine'?

I've never seen it mentioned - we are led to believe that the only people in Britain who liked VU were Bowie & Eno etc

i like nico a lot but the fairport "i'll keep it with mine" is the keeper

fairport one is one of the best songs ever

No love for the Turtles' "It Ain't Me Babe"? or the Burritos' "If You Gotta Go..."?

No Julie Driscoll's "This Wheel's on Fire"? No Peter, Paul, & Mary's "Too Much of Nothing"? No NEIL YOUNG??!!??! This thread is broken.

13th Floor Elevators - "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue"

I'd like to second Amateurist from waaaay earlier on Elvis' version of "Tomorrow Is A Long Time". It's hazy, the aural equivalent of a mid 80s Penthouse photoshoot, with soft lighting and a quaalude glow. This song is Exhibit #1 for the value of prescription drug abuse by musicians.

ELVIS DOING DON'T THINK TWICE, ferry doing don't think twice, indigo girls(with baez) doing don't think twice, magnet doing lay lady lay.

there's more.

robyn hitchcock's "tryin to get to heaven before they close the door"

<i>No Julie Driscoll's "This Wheel's on Fire"?</i>

^^^no diggity.

sexyd otm.
though the charley d & milo version is "i'll keep it with mine" is awesome too. borrows fairly heavily from the fairport version, i think.

Robyn H kind of owns Not Dark Yet for me.

Emmylou Harris doing "Every Grain of Sand" is quite nice.

Re: Nico. I can never get over how out of tune she is. Was.

I actually had a pretty hard time deciding which version of "I'll Keep It With Mine" was better - Dylan's, Fairport's or Nico's. It's a hypnotic and haunting song regardless.

Johnny Rivers' take on "positively 4th street" is grand. and i reckon i'd call it beautiful. in its own way

Olivia Newton-John's "If Not For You" is beautiful in much the same way that Olivia Newton-John's hair is beautiful.

Nina Simone's "Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues" is beautiful in much the same way that blood trickling down a drain can be beautiful.

How do folks feel about "Eastern Rain", the Joni cover on WWDOOH? Having pulled out the album for the first time in a while, I'm just mesmerized by this one. Don't feel I've paid it the proper attention before on an album with "I'll Keep it With Mine" and "Meet on the Ledge", etc.. Denny in full-throated mode, but still her singing (and the instrumentation, too) manages lovely delicacy at the same time.

the guitar solo in "Eastern Rain" is unfortunate.

I've always loved it fwiw.

haha, i like the solo, but think i understand where you're coming from. xp
