Bob Dylan covers

[Zincubus]

Now to be honest I don't like Bob Dylan or his voice so I'm not great on his songs BUT I do love Adele's version of one of his songs, in fact I loved it . Just wondering if there are any other great Dylan covers out there ?

Too many to mention, but two of my favourites are You Ain't Goin' Nowhere by the Byrds & Roy Harper's Girl From The North Country.

Chrissie Hynde - "I Shall Be Released"
Neil Young - "Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues"
Rage Against the Machine - "Maggie's Farm"
Norah Jones - "I'll Be Your Baby Tonight"
George Harrison - "If Not For You"
Jerry Garcia Band - “Simple Twist of Fate”
Lou Reed "Foot of Pride"
Doc and Merle Watson “Don't Think Twice, It's Alright”
Van Morrison and Them - "It's All Over Now Baby Blue"
Mitch Ryder - "Like a Rolling Stone"
Nina Simone "The Ballad of Hollis Brown"
Sam Cooke - "Blowing in the Wind"
Pearl Jam - "Masters of War"
Tracy Chapman "The Times They Are A-Changin'"
Indigo Girls - "Tangled Up in Blue"
Patti LaBelle "Forever Young"
The White Stripes - "One More Cup of Coffee"
Antony & The Johnsons - "Knockin' On Heaven's Door"
Jimi Hendrix - "All Along the Watchtower"

Now although i think there are some really good cover versions in the list, I will always prefer to hear Dylan sing his songs........he is the master

Re: Bob Dylan covers

I enjoyed Emerson Lake & Palmer's very dark and moody version of The Man in the Long Black Coat.

Rod Stewart's cover of Girl From the North Country.

And I love Bryan Ferry's Dylanesque album.

The album "Dylanesque" by Bryan Ferry

[the fox]

Guns n roses did 'knockin' on heavens door' some real justice.

And a current folk band called "show of hands" do a good version of "señor". Worth a look on YouTube.

As a Dylan fan (and definitely not a fan of Adele) I get irrationally irritated when people say 'make you feel my love' is an Adele song !

Re: Bob Dylan covers

I wish people would stop raving about Adele's (whom I think is the most overrated talent currently) version of 'Make You Feel My Love'. Bryan Ferry's version is far superior.

Re: Bob Dylan covers

Some great picks in this thread. My favourite is Jim James (of My Morning Jacket) and Calexico's version of Going To Acapulco.
