FabSwingers.com forum: your favourite Bob Dylan Cover version

By (user no longer on site) OP

Good evening Fabbers , Friends and Forumites.

Golly gosh, what beautiful spring weather we have been having recently.

The new lambs are frolicking in the fields , gentle blossom on the trees and pastel coloured wild flowers are carpeting the woodland floor where Pooch and I walk.

I do love to see the spring lambs , I have helped with lambing many times. The miracle of new birth always fills me with awe .

Heaven is truly a place called North Wales . Pooch and I are two jolly lucky fellows to live in such a splendid place.

Whilst out wandering today we shared the new. Jeff Buckley album. An early set of recordings from the Columbia back catalogues. What a beautiful talent and man he was. A great loss to music .

The opening track is a cover of Bob Dylan's Just Like A Woman. And a great version too.

So this evenings question is this .

What is your favourite cover version of a Bob Dylan song ?

Have fun chums .

Pooch and I both adore Dylan

Huge Dylan fan here. I could probably list loads but for starters...

Not a huge Adele fan but I do like her version on Make You Feel My Love.

Sufjan Stevens does a nice version of Ring Them Bells that I like.

And even though I'm not religious in the slightest, I do love this version of Pressing On by Regina McCrary & The Chicago Mass Choir. Seriously uplifting...

I saw him live a few years back at Glastonbury.

He played new stuff, couldn't really sing and there was a rights altercation that meant they didn't use the screens. Disappointing.

Then Tony Bennett came on and wiped the floor with him

Jeff Buckley- I Shall Be Released, is gorgeous.

KT Tunstall does a really good version of Tangled Up In Blue.

This is pretty much my night now.

Marion Williams's gospel version of I Shall be Released is amazing.

I also love Kurt Wagner (from Lambchop)'s version of You're a Big Girl Now from the NPR Tiny Desk series on YouTube.

Make you feel my love by Adele, she doesn't just sing it, she sort if acts it, and conveys the emotion if the story if the song, very hard to do with someone else's material, this and hurt by johnny cash are my two favorite covers
