54: Every Grain of Sand: Emmylou Harris. Suggested by Fred Muller. (I am becoming completely overawed by the way people can think of transforming Dylan songs in ways like this. It is not so much whether I like them or not, but the sheer inventiveness of the musicians that is extraordinary).

57: It Ain’t Me, Babe by Jesse Cook. Suggested by Fred Muller. (What a total contrast from #56. How beautiful is that! – Tony.)

Hi again Tony – it wasn’t me who suggested the covers by Yul Anderson and Jesse Cook.
It ’s too late to stop now,without having mentioned:
Elvis Costello License to kill
Patty Smith Drifter ’s escape
Sertab One more cup of coffee

Richie Havens Tombstone blues
Caetano Veloso Jokerman (best version sais Bobhimself)
Howard Fishman Open the door Homer (for the tuba)
Jewels and Binoculars all 3 cds but take Dark eyes or Spirit on the water
Tom Verlaine Cold irons bound
So where are The Byrds with for example:
Mr. Tambourine Man, Spanish Harlem Incident, Chimes Of Freedom
‘Abandoned Love’ by The Everly Brothers. Oh, and all of Willie Nile’s ‘Positively Bob’ album
Lasse, I’m just putting up what people suggest – and for the most part I think readers have been suggesting some of the less well known cover versions. But I’ll add these to the list certainly.
Tomorrow is a Long Time – Jimmy LaFave; and
Red River Shore – Jimmy LaFave.
Both are on ‘Depending on the Distance’.
You need more British cover versions:
Luxuria – She’s Your Lover Now (1988)
