DYLAN COVERS #121 B.B. King/Buddy Guy - Fur Slippers/Lay Lady Lay


She took my Fur Slippers away!

 
BUDDY GUY - Lay Lady Lay (2005)

Here we have two of the great Blues Legend covering Bob. The first one by Buddy Guy is a straight cover of  Lay Lady Lay and comes from his 2005 album  Bring 'Em In.

The second cut is by B.B.King and is a little more interesting. It is a song Dylan co-wrote with Tim Drummond  who has been part of Dylan's backing band, he co-wrote the song as well as contributing to Saved. The song was written in 1981.

It was released by B.B. King on the soundtrack of the CBS TV mini-series "Shake Rattle And Roll" (1999). There are a couple of other version around by Greg Lake and  Michel Montecrossa.

Dylan recorded the song during the  Shot of Love  sessions but it has so far not seen the light of day (officially).

DYLAN COVERS #88 Greg Lake - I Love You too Much x 2

I wrote this song with Bob Dylan?


 
GREG LAKE - Love You Too Much (Live) 

Well here you are, direct from the horses mouth  Greg  wrote the song with Mr D. However, I have quoted the following how he appeared to have come by the track :

"I wanted to do a Bob Dylan song on an album because I respect him a lot as a writer and as a performer, and I had a friend who used to be his tour manager," Greg explained. "I didn't want to do one of the regular songs of Bob's that  people cover. I wanted to see if I could get something unusual to sing, maybe something that he had not released."

"He gave me a half-finished song, and he said, 'If you can finish it, then that might be the best solution,' so that's what happened." 

Greg Lake first released the song with amended lyrics on his album "Greg" (1981), and also on a 7" single, below. Wow! it has all the hallmarks of  'ELP'.
