Thread Name: Playin' Dylan songs in Public
Subject: RE: BS: Playin' Dylan songs in Public
Oh yes, back to the topic. I think that Bob has written so many great songs that it would be difficult to do an acoustic gig without playing some of his material. I have heard some people cover his material very well. I have also heard some trying to sound exactly like him, which irks me, and others who go to far the other way and try to make it sound sickly sweet which also bothers me.

My advice is to have enough faith in your ability as a performer to do it in your own voice, and enough faith in the strength of Bob's songs that they will be well received.
