Thread Name: Favorite Versions of Dylan Songs
Subject: RE: Favorite Versions of Dylan Songs
Some great ones here. I always liked Joe Cocker's "Just Like A Woman". I really liked Sophie B. Hawkins' version of "I Want You" from the 30th Anniversary Concert. The Band doing "When I Paint My Masterpiece" from the same show was amazing. The Earl Scruggs Review doing "Song To Woody". Jimi did a pretty good cover of Like A Rolling Stone. I think that Lou Reed did a great job with Foot of Pride and of course Johnny Winter made Hwy 61 Revisited as much his signature songs as Jimi did with All Along The Watchtower. I'm biased, but Susan Latimer does a powerful, sped up arrangement of "Million Miles" in most of her live performances.

Most of these are such great songs that they are bulletproof.
