Billy Bragg Bob Dylan Dylan Covers Henry Thomas Johnny Cash Martin Carthy Muddy Waters Rab Noakes Richie Havens

Here is the second side of  'The Freewheelin'  covered, to celebrate #100 'Dylan Covers'

I'm still bleeding freezing!

JOHNNY CASH - Don't think twice its Alright

Yet another classic, I have gone for this version by Johnny Cash recorded at the 1964 Newport Folk Festival a year before the historical electric entrance by Dylan. Johnny gets the nod due to his close assosiation with Bob during the sixties.

Martin Carthy 2nd from left

MARTIN CARTHY - Bob Dylan's Dream

There are several good versions of this fabulous song of nostagia. But I just had to go for Martin Carthy who had I suppose, had as much a contibution as anybody on the many brilliant songs which had been the result of Dylan's vist to the U.K. in 1962. Martin had taught Bob many of the old traditional British ballads.

Dylan adapted these traditional tunes in his own way to be the classics they are recognised now to be. Some might say he copied the tunes. I say he he used what was available and what had been his influences to come up with somthing magic and wonderful. What do you think?.

This is another track from that superb 'The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan - A Folk Tribute concert, highlighted in side 1 . I have also taken, Talkin World 3 Blues and I Shall be Free from that same concert. These are about the best I can find of these rarely covered songs

  RICHIE HAVENS - Oxford Town

Here is another song which is not covered too often. I like this take by the great late Mr Richie Havens. It can be found on his album My Own Way.

BILLY BRAGG - Talking World War 3 Blues

This is a nice cover by the Bard and again from the fabulous Freewheelin' Concert. I wish I was there. It sounded like a great evening.

 'I wana be in your dream Billy!!'

MUDDY WATERS - Corrina Corrina

This is an old traditional song which Dylan adapted and I have gone for a Muddy Waters live rendition. Take it Muddy. 


HENRY THOMAS - Honey, just (won't you) allow me one more Chance (1928)

I choose this as really it does not take too much to work out where Bob got the idea from. OK he changed the title around a bit and added some more lyrics but basically the song is much the same. Old Henry gets the nod!

RAB NOAKES - I shall be free

This is an excellent version by one of my old folk day heroes Rab Noakes, he is accompanied by another folk ledgend Fraser Spiers who plays harmonica.  For a great Rab rendition of Mississippi  just click.

DYLAN COVERS # 54 ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL - Blonde on Blonde 3 of 3

Bob Dylan Calexico Dylan Covers Flaming Groovies Joan Baez Rab Noakes Sean Costello Steve Howe. Toni Price Yo La Tengo

FLAMING GROOVIES - Absolutely Sweet Marie

This is taken from their album 'Jumpin' in the Night'(1979). Other contenders were the versions by George Harrison and Rab Noakes 

YO LA TENGO - 4th Time Round

Here is another one from that fabulous Soundtrack  'I'm not there' (2007) and it just pipped Calexico for that honour.

TONI PRICE - Obviously 5 Believers

This is from her album 'Hey' (1995) and apart from some some live poor quality versions, it was a choice between this one and a version by Sean Costello, both are equally good.

JOAN BAEZ - Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands

I just love Joan Baez covering Dylan especially her 60's output. This is taken from her album exclusively of Dylan Covers 'Any Day Now' (1968). There are some real gems there,  Second in the list was the version by  Steve Howe (Formally of Yes) which is really quite good as well.

With your mecury mouth

So here you have it, the 14 tracks from 'Blonde on Blonde' covered,  hope you like my choices

For more Dylan Covers

DYLAN COVER # 13 - Rab Noakes - Mississippi

DYLAN COVER # 13 - Rab Noakes - Mississippi

Dylan Covers Rab Noakes

Rab Noakes - Mississippi (2011)
 
Not that widely know but in my Folk Club days in late sixties early seventies, Rab Noakes was our 'Our Golden Boy' and was always our favourite when he appeared at the Club we frequented in East Kilbride in Scotland.  When he released his first album 'Do You Seen The Lights' we rushed out to buy it on the day of release. We always imagined he would become a Scottish superstar.  Although over the years he has released several excellent albums he did not reach the 'popular' heights we expected. Check out his work, you will be pleasantly surprised.

This is a tremendous version from one of Dylan's '3rd coming' Albums 'Love and Theft' (2001) and is taken from a live radio broadcast by people more or less in the Folk scene, the broadcast was called 'Forever Young' and was to celebrate Dylan's 70th Birthday. It really was a great tribute Concert. 

 

This is Rab, he was cute in those days

As a foot note, if you don't already know, 'Love and Theft' was released on the 11th September 2001.So I dedicate this Post to all the Souls lost on that tragic tragic day.
