a classic by a classic performed by another classic

don't think twice it's all right is one of my favorite dylan songs. johnny cash did a nice job with it here:



but i'll be honest... i'm being a little unfair by including the original here... because by comparison, there is no comparison:

1. it ain't me babe & 2. tangled up in blue

1. fleet foxes version:



bob sings it with joan baez (ignore the title. they got it wrong - it's baez):



2. KT tunstall cover:


now go here for dylan's legendary performance

wagon wheel "by" bob dylan

so there're are all kinds of stories about how old crow medicine show "finished" this song. but whatever. good is good.

here's bob dylan's "demo"


and here is OCMS's version:

boots of spanish leather

it's another one of my favorites. ahhhhhhhhhh i have so many favorites. anyhow, i think nanci griffith has a lovely voice and it's nice to hear a woman sing this song.



i couldn't find a full version of the original online but here's a snippet.

i'm devoting the rest of this week to bob dylan covers

'cause he writes the best songs.

here's one you may know already:

new AiH album

From The Fox Is Black...

To kick off the new album they’ve released the first single, a song called Contact High which has such a totally weird music video to accompany it. The guy in the video looks really weird to me, like he looks oddly sexual. Eventually he starts getting felt up by phantom limbs, and yeah… it’s weird. But the song itself is really great.

The SONG is great. music video...WEIRD.

stripped

a few favorites stripped down to their simplest greatness:

phoenix (in the rain even!)


the national (drop your mic. drop most of your instruments. and get the whole audience to sing along!)


nirvana (can't do a stripped down list without one from this unplugged performance. just can't)


bon iver (ahhhhh i'm dying!)


AND a cover by...
the civil wars (maybe i love them too much but this is a seriously cool version of billy jean.)
