Bob Dylan Dylan Covers Eric Bibb

ERIC BIBB - The Times They are a Changin' (2012)

I had never heard of Eric Bibb when a great friend of mine who is no longer with us said he had a spare ticket for an concert in Reading at a very small venue. I was knocked out by Eric and immediately bought several of his albums after the concert. He was there selling them as you left the venue. Well a guys got to make a living.

I have followed him ever since and I am still amazed that he has not gained the recognition that he richly deserves.

Here is Eric doing three great covers of Bob in his relaxed laid back style. Great stuff.

Just Like a Woman is taken from the album Blues on Blonde on Blonde (2003) and the take of The Times They are a Changin' is from his album Deeper in the Well (2012). Finally we have Buckets of Rain which is just about perfect for Mr Bibb and this is taken from his Diamomd Days album 2006.

Check Eric out if you are not familiar. You will spend your time well.

DYLAN COVERS # 81 - 3 from 2012 - Jimmy Lafave/Mariachi El bronx/Eric Bibb

Bob Dylan Chimes of Freedom Dylan Covers Eric Bibb Jimmy Lafave Mariachi El Bronx

Its a tough call picking the 3 best Dylan Covers from 2012 especially when you have had such a high volume of great releases, think the 78 track.Chimes of Freedom: Songs of Bob Dylan  for starters. I had to pick one from there, didn't I, it would have been rude not to.

 So here are 3 from 2012, maybe not your best, but I liked them  :

 

JIMMY LA FAVE - Red River Shore

I love Jimmy Lafave's voice and he is one of the top interpreters of Dylan songs and in fact any other song he puts his mind too. I would say Red River Shore is probably my favourite Dylan Cover of the Year. It is just a great song. It is amazing it did not get a release and we had to wait until a Genuine Bootleg (well most of us). It can be found on Jimmy's album 'Depending on the Distance'. A cover of  'Tomrrow is a Long Time' can also be found on this album. Great stuff!

The Mariachis

 

MARIACHI EL BRONX - Love Sick

This is from the amazing project for Amnesty,  Chimes of Freedom: Songs of Bob Dylan, 78 bleeding covers. Christmas came early this year. There are of course many more gems here, but I have chosen this one simply because I like it. Well that's my excuse.

Eric Bibb

 

ERIC BIBB - The Times They are a Changin'

The Eric Bibb cover I chose as he is kind of personal. I was introduced to a Bibb concert by a dear friend, two weeks later we also went together to see Bob himself in London Docklands.  Sadly within 6 month my friend had succumbed to  the dreaded Big C.

This exellent cover can be found on Bibb's album 'Deeper in the Well'

It has been a great year for Dylan Covers, I keep discovering gems all the time and as long as I am still keen, I  will share them with you. Too late to stop now.....oh no! that's Van.


What is your best 3 Dylan Covers this year. Let me know! I am always looking for ones I have missed. I have now gathered quite a large catalogue of Bobby covers (MP3 etc). If I have it I will share.
