DYLAN COVER # 9 - Johnny Cash & Waylon Jennings - One too many mornings


JOHNNY CASH & WAYLON JENNINGS - One too Many Mornings
            
One too Many Mornings from the 'Times they are a Changin' album is not one of the most covered Dylan songs, but it is just great to hear two of 'the Outlaws' singing this duet. What fantastic voices they both have, I bet they sure must have lived a million miles between them.

I never really worked out what the song was about, until I read a quote:

"It's the sound of someone too smitten by love to harbor regrets, grown too independent to consider a reunion"

I suppose that sounds about right and we will leave it at that. Shame really, I thought it could be about going to Pat's Bar for a last 'one' on the way home and getting seriously  pissed and suffering the next day. It goes to show, what do I know? and that you don't have to be an 'intellectual' to appreciate Dylan .

Here is another one and a chaser for the road :
Johnny Cash - Girl from the North Country

Waylon Jenning - Don't think Twice its alright

Good work, as ever. I'll have to admit that, even though I'm a big Cash fan, I don't particularly like him covering Dylan. He tends to do something to Bob's songs that I just don't feel works. Still, that just me. Looking forward to hearing more Dylan covers from you soon.

SB I think I have to agree with you there, his 'biggy' Dylan Cover 'It aint me babe' did nothing for me...got a good one for you next week to make up for it.
Loved the Cash American recordings series

I love Dylan's version of this on his bootleg album Live 1966.
