Thread Name: Dylan Covers YOU Do
Subject: RE: Dylan Covers YOU Do
Just arrived here from the other thread about Dylan covers.....only 12 years late!

'North Country Blues' and 'Eternal Circle' are the ones I sing most often. Apart from that I've also been known, in recent years, to do versions of 'It ain't me, babe' and 'The Ballad of Donald White'. For Donald White, since I learnt it from a book of Dylan texts I had to make a tune for it, the Blind Boy Grunt recording being very obscure. I'd been singing my own version for at least 5 years before I found Dylan's original recording. I still use my own tune since I feel that 'Tramps and Hawkers', which Dylan uses, doesn't really fit the story!
