Yes, the music isn't bad, but McGuinn's singing sounds so strained and contrived that it's almost humorous. It reminds me of the music teacher from Beavis & Butthead, singing the "Lesbian Seagull" song. |
| Tim_in_N_FL (Florida) | Posted: Apr 20, 2009 - 13:17 Man, this sure sounds a lot like this tune in some places...especially the CHORUS! LOST IN YOUR EYES (Debbie Gibson) I get lost, in your eyes (Chorus) I just felt (Repeat Chorus) I get weak in a glance |
| jcioban (Between NYC and Boston) | Posted: Apr 20, 2009 - 13:16 Following the Eliza Gilkyson cover of "Is It Like Today" this one is bone-chillingly bad. I really like the musical accents from Calexico, but this is one of those classic songs where the original is so perfectly toned and so perfectly arranged, that a cover like this has no chance. THis one may need a pass through the "bit scrambler" to help it disappear from the rotation. |
| More_Cowbell (North of Chicago, IL, USA) | Posted: Apr 20, 2009 - 13:16 Get going already! |
| hippiechick (Heaven, a place where nothing ever happens) | Posted: Apr 20, 2009 - 13:14 I like this version. Calexico's sound is perfect for this song. |

| bindi (North Carolina) | Posted: Mar 21, 2009 - 14:10 The drum gave this away as a Calexico Collaboration almost instantly. John C sure has a unique sound. |
| sissyolina | Posted: Mar 20, 2009 - 00:46 işte calexico!! |
| nigelr (Coffs Harbour, Australia) | Posted: Mar 20, 2009 - 00:46 A nice tribute to one of Bobs' greatest........................9 for the song.................. |
| ScopArch (Berlin, Baby) | Posted: Feb 18, 2009 - 01:30 This song is not there! |
| bobcat1963 (the netherlands) | Posted: Feb 18, 2009 - 01:30 Mcguinn sounds as if he had a full bladder but had no time to piss! |
| Tagish_girl (happily seeking hammock, Helsingborg, Sweden) | Posted: Feb 18, 2009 - 01:29 gee, what a disappointment. Rates an 'ugh'. |
| scocam | Posted: Feb 16, 2009 - 12:09 Ha! I agree with the Christopher Guest reference. This is straight from "A Mighty Wind". The song is awful and sounds contrived and forced. |

| JoBo | Posted: Feb 16, 2009 - 12:07 Noooooo  Bob's version only, if at all!! |
| Misterfixit (Nashville) | Posted: Feb 16, 2009 - 12:06 Somehow I don't that is Meg on the drums. |

| iggam (Chicago) | Posted: Feb 16, 2009 - 12:04 Sounds like a Christopher Guest parody. |
| top20 (Felixstowe (England)) | Posted: Feb 11, 2009 - 04:50 What truly amazes me is that some listeners have given this 9 or 10. I guess it takes all sorts ...  |
| bobcat1963 (the netherlands) | Posted: Feb 11, 2009 - 04:35 Sure do love the 'desire' version this one, i don't know, McGuinn ruined it IMHO, he sings it so complaining.... |
| arsenault (long beach cali US and A) | Posted: Jan 17, 2009 - 08:34 mcguinn sounds awful. music is ok, but not a great dylan song either. very repetitive. best forgotten. |

| Limpopoking (Limpopo) | Posted: Dec 09, 2008 - 22:09 I enjoyed this... as do I Bob's, and as do I Robert Plants. It's a great song. |
| ercasul (New Zealand) | Posted: Dec 09, 2008 - 22:05 Love that soaring trumpet |

| snowcat (Cold, Frozen Minnesota) | Posted: Nov 08, 2008 - 09:01 I'm Calexico'd out. |
| dctrpunda (the thin line of here) | Posted: Nov 08, 2008 - 08:59 I Desire the original |

| spiritual76 | Posted: Oct 12, 2008 - 23:56 nice  |
| janemilliman | Posted: Sep 15, 2008 - 20:49 The Bob version is definitely better than this. |
| NorthernLad (Doha, Qatar) | Posted: Sep 13, 2008 - 01:55 I need some tequila. I miss Mexico. God Bless The Plant  |
| Corinne (Finland) | Posted: Sep 13, 2008 - 01:48 Bad, bad BAD version!  Bring Bob's version back, please!  |
| Bleyfusz | Posted: Sep 11, 2008 - 09:22 Disappointing version, even more considering the fact that RMcG is involved. |
| Danny_G (Lima) | Posted: Sep 11, 2008 - 09:19 Nice, I like it. Más café y Calexico por favor  |
| Excelsior | Posted: Sep 11, 2008 - 09:19 And now, Joe Lieberman on lead vocals! |

Can we get a back to back to back to back . . . of every version of this song. I can listen to it for hours! I personally hate em all. |
