DYLAN COVERS # 167 Garth Brooks/Mell Gibson - To Make You Feel My love

Bob Dylan Dylan Covers Elvis Presley Garth Brooks Mel Gibson Sid Vicious

And the whole world is on your case

GARTH BROOKS - To Make You feel My Love (1998)

Here are two covers of the great Adele song To Make You feel My Love. Well that is how the songs seems to be introduced these days. Many many people seem to think the song is written by Adele and it is hers.  The song has become an X-Factor staple and maybe it is an attempt at some sort of credibility, but what do I  know.

To me the song is taylor made for Sid Vicious and I think he would have done a perfect version.

The two versions I have chosen, I will not comment on too much because they may give a lot of pleasure to some folks and that is not a bad thing. It also spreads the gospel and that is good too.

Garth Brooks and Mel Gibson (not the Aussie actor),  for fuck sake, what are Dylan Covers coming to. Please for give me but I could not resist it.(and sorry about the language) But we do try to cover all types of artists here.

Brooksy's version can be found on the album Garth Brooks The Ultimate Hits (2014). It was originally recorded in 1998 and released as a CD single. Garth was nominated for a Grammy for best vocal performance and Bob got the nomination for best Country song.  There you go, I did not know that.

Braveheart's is on the album Weakness in a Man (2007). Quick, close your ears I think he is trying to imitate Elvis.

DYLAN COVERS #115 Elvis Presley **SPECIAL*** Don't Think Twice, it's Alright x 4

Bob Dylan Dylan Covers Elvis Presley

Elvis in Nashville RCA Studio B 1971

ELVIS PRESLEY - Dont't Think Twice, it's Alright - Short edit from 'Fool' (1973)

Here we have a very interesting one. I was aware for some time that Elvis had covered Don't Think Twice, it's Alright. But it came as a surprise to me that there was a long Jam version as well, which is widely available.

The more I looked into it, the more of a mystery I found. Firstly there is no doubt that the session took place in Nashville, RCA Studio B, on the 16th May 1971. Where, along with other tracks, Elvis was recorded doing a long Jam version of Don't Think Twice.

It was first released in 1973 on the album Fool and was an edit of 2.42mins.

It again surfaced on the album Our Memories of Elvis Vol 2 in 1979. This was a long edit of 8.36 mins and had a Guitar intro.  

ELVIS PRESLEY - Don't Think Twice it's Alright (Our Memories of Elvis Vol 2 - Long Edit with Guitar Intro)

There was a further 4 min edit released on the 1995 album Walk a Mile in My Shoes : The Essential 70's Masters. This also had the guitar intro which differed from the original 2.42mins release.

The plot thickens, when an apparently an unedited 9.18mins version of the Jam appeared on the FTD (Follow That Dream) release on the album Now (2010) which had many additional outtakes and various other versions of songs.

ELVIS PRESLEY - Don't Think Twice, it's Alright (FTD 'Now' 2010 Jam Unedited Version)

You might think that was the end of the story, but there was a further FTD release of the Fool album in 2012 and this contained a completely different Jam session of the song never heard before. To give you an idea of the impact of this version, I have quoted part of a review of the album.


FTD Collectors Release of  Fool  (2012)

Quote

The second disc ends sensationally, with a previously unreleased take of 'Don't Think Twice, It's All Right.' It's listed as take 2 of a version recorded on March 17, whereas the already released jam on Elvis Now (the unedited master clocking at 9:16 can be found on FTD's treatment of that album) was recorded on May 16, 1971. I think this is a spelling error, as Elvis didn't record anything at all on March 17 due to illness. My guess it's from May 16 as well, or the day after. With a running time of 11 minutes and 20 seconds it must be Elvis' longest recording released to date! It sounds a lot like the version we know, maybe not as driving, but including some great harmonica by Charlie McCoy not found on the original. A great way to end this classic album release. - See more at: http://www.elvis.com.au/presley/reviews/cd_review_elvis_fool_ftd_special_edition.shtml#sthash.GO4QNQc1.dpuf

The second disc ends sensationally, with a previously unreleased take of 'Don't Think Twice, It's All Right.' It's listed as take 2 of a version recorded on March 17, whereas the already released jam on Elvis Now (the unedited master clocking at 9:16 can be found on FTD's treatment of that album) was recorded on May 16, 1971. I think this is a spelling error, as Elvis didn't record anything at all on March 17 due to illness. My guess it's from May 16 as well, or the day after. With a running time of 11 minutes and 20 seconds it must be Elvis' longest recording released to date! It sounds a lot like the version we know, maybe not as driving, but including some great harmonica by Charlie McCoy not found on the original.

TWO FOR THE SHOW 2 of 2

Caught in a trap!

 

ELVIS PRESLEY - His Latest Flame

Up to the age of about 12, almost every year I would visit a place called Dufftown, it is the original one horse town,  my Aunt lived there. I hated the place and it still makes my skin crawl when I think about it. The main reason was that it was a large house and if you needed to go to the loo, you had to climb a long winding staircase. You also had to pass a door which was always closed. This door let to another third story.

What was even worse, was my Uncle was the local undertaker (he also had a wood business and furniture shop) there was very often coffins in the hallway and you had to pass this to go to the toilet. It was terrifying.

My younger sister and I always asked if we could sleep together, where we would huddle together shaking in fear at any odd sound or creak.

One day my Aunt asked me to go to the third level to collect something. I had to enter that closed door. We thought this was the awful place where he stored his coffins and dead bodies. I could not admit I was scared and just had to do it. I was literally trembling with fear and the whole thing became a slow motion blur, I was almost physically sick with the terror of it all.

The only good things I remember was that we were given threepence once a day (1.25 p in todays money) and could go to the sweet shop where we indulged ourselves with sherbet dips, lucky bags, penny dainties, halfpenny toppers and lucky tatties, my favourite. 

The other thing was a great treat which was a visit to the local cinema where I remember vividly seeing the two best Elvis films ever, Jail House Rock and King Creole.

That was before he got involved with a stream of banal movies which were churned out in the sixties.

Below is the performance which started all the fuss, it is a good watch, the host however is a little annoying, but Elvis stands his ground.

ONE FOR THE MONEY Part 1 of 2

 

ELVIS PRESLEY - Suspicion (1960)

Growing up in the 50's yes, the 50's (who are you calling and old fart?!!) you just had to be aware of the King. In those days Elvis was indeed the King and there was no one who came close. He had the lot, good looks, a great voice and most of all sex appeal which no other pop or rock star could even come close to. His songs were just magnificent examples of pure pop/rock brilliance. Even Dylan himself wanted to be Elvis as did I and every other young boy of that time.

He was responsible for my first musical performing experience and probably my last too. It was near the end of term when I was still in primary school and the teacher arranged for a concert for the whole class. Each person had to perform an act. It could be almost anything poetry, singing, magic trick etc.

My father made me a guitar out of wood and placed some plastic strings to make it look real. I combed my hair using my father's brylcream to look as near as Elvis as I could. I practised my snear to perfection.

It was finally my turn, I got on stage with my short trousers, swivelling my hips and singing my favourite song at that time Wooden Heart. I was a hit and all the girls in my class wanted to be my girlfriend. I had tasted stardom and I liked it. 

I am afraid to say, if I was doing an Elvis impression today it would be the great big fat version with the white suit and sequins.

Hey! I heard that, just remember, sex appeal is sex appeal, you can't hide it. 

I hope you like my first two Elvis choices.
