Inspite of the serious context, I prefer Bryan Ferry's version to Leon Russell's, as the poppy coverage and driving beat of Ferry's version create a 'sweet and sour' blend of the bleakness of the lyrics juxtaposed with the upbeat treatment. My overall preference is for his Bobness's version, then Ferry's, with this version a distant third. This sounds unremarkable and disposable and adds nothing to the original. Why bother? It's interesting though, how each of these versions of the song reflect the political and social climate in which they were released. Dylan's tense, the-end-is-nigh stance, then this drug use hippie version followed by Bryan Ferry's upbeat interpretation, anticipating the pop-filled 80s. They are all interesting, but Dylan's original will probably always remain the definitive. A least you can dance to Bryan Ferry! [ Reply ]
