The Tom Robinson Band does a "Radio Paradise friendly" version of this Dylan Classic!
Give it a whirl

Sorry Bill, but that is G.E. Smith on lead guitar with Steve Cropper on rhythm, Donald "Duck" Dunn on bass. also a little known fact Sheryl Crow is one of the back-up singer's. Oh Yea Booker T on Key's

>>>>Helpful to know. Makes me appreciate it even more.

Oh, this is wonderful. I've never heard it before. Chrissie brings it home and keeps it real.

There's another great version of this on The Band's The Last Waltz. Classic--and classy--tune.

I kind of like Bob Dylan's original. Or maybe it was a cover of the Band's rendition of his tune. With the band.

Either way, its a great tune.


Dylan, yes. Yep, great tune. Beaten to death, which is why I fling the headphones away whenever this comes on.

Richard Manuel's version can't be topped in my mind. I'm not trying to sound sexist but this song sounds better sung by a man. Know what I mean?

Using the "lots of folks like it" argument is dangerous and doesn't really mean much. Lots of folks like Britney Spears for example.

This song is nice, but it is a pretty mediocre rendition of this song and a poor sample of Chrissy Hynde's repertoire.

I think the original by the Band is far superior to this overblown version. Oh well, tribute stuff usually doesn't measure up....

Never heard this version before...it's nice.

Although you can't beat The Band's version, IMHO. Richard Manuel's voice was perfect.

Why call this a Dylan 'cover?' This song is 100% The Band off Music From Big Pink. Sure Dylan sang it, after giving it to them.

fisherking thinks there are two main categories of music listeners. One group only hears music and voice with no regard to lyrics. The other actually listens to the words and more importantly the intent of the artist as expressed by inflection, tone, etc. I understand the first category of people wouldn't like an artist like Dylan. They can't help it, they only have a cursory interest in music at best. Those enlightened listeners who pay attention to other aspects of music cannot help liking artists such as Dylan, Leonard Cohen, Neil Young, etc. Artists who are not blessed with a purely beautiful voice, but who, because of the lyrics they write and the emotion poured into them, reach a state of beauty when all parts are taken as a whole.


there are also some of us who acknowledge folks like dylan as excellent song writers, excellent musicians, but terrible singers. there's nothing lacking in enlightenment there, sir. i don't think that someone preferring a cover of dylan makes them any less quality in terms of intellect or musical taste. some of us have sensitive ears, you see. :)
