Best Covers

There was a poster on the dimeadozen torrent site several years ago who was a huge Dylan fan and he put together a compilation series of various artists performing live versions of Dylan covers.

@ezwind  , that made me think of Bob Dylan covering I Can't Get You Off Of My Mind on the Hank Williams Tribute CD.

I actually bought that CD for the Lucinda Williams cover of Cold Cold Heart.

Not related to either cover:  but back in the early/mid '90s when I first started buying "better quality/better sounding" CDs, I bought The Raven by Rebecca Pidgeon with a delightful cover of Spanish Harlem.

. . . and on that note, I will recognize Bob Dylan's cover of Mr. Bojangles.

Janis Joplin covering Me And Bobby McGee, maybe?

 

Dylan did a slew of covers when he played a famous 4 hour show at Toad's Place in New Haven in 1990 including:

Help Me Make It Through The Night

Key to the Highway

Lonesome Whistle

Dancing in the Dark

Across the Borderline

Oh Babe It Ain't No Lie

Trouble No More

Walk a Mile in My Shoes
