yeah, agree that the Staples "John Brown" is awesome -- though I might prefer Jim Dickinson's version more! (Obviously based on the Staples' arrangement).

That is great, so many specific gestures in there hark back to the original, it must have followed from an insane number of repeat viewings.
Never heard this one before, going unmiked by the end is pretty badass:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUa0qGnpIbM

Freddie Scott does a nice 'I Shall be Released'

The computer I'm on has YouTube links disabled, so this may be redundant, but Roberta Flack does a very nice "Just Like A Woman" on her Chapter Two album.

She does a really great Leonard Cohen cover on that one too, I think.

that nina simone just like a woman cover is, frankly, awful.

How many deaths will it take to be shown too many people have died? How many times can a man turn his head pretending that he just doesn't see? Thank you Sam, and Love you Trayvon.

Heard him doing a Van Morrison cover the other day. It wasn't actually that much different from the original. "Crazy Love," I think.

Well this one's pretty amazing---check the range of material in the track list, and the sequence---thee songs they are a-chain-jin'. The Brothers And Sisters handle it well, if *almost* having trouble with a few of the moec word-laden lines, but totally totally understandably so. More info and audio samples too:http://lightintheattic.net/releases/1007-dylan-s-gospel

Much later, the Persuasions did a whole album of Dylan, but here's their 1971 acappella classic---if it doesn't show up, it's "The Man In Me," frequently on YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bsx9YBV9EnM
― dow, Friday, 25 March 2016 16:44 (eight years ago) link
Also: Buddy Guy, Anthony Hamilton, and steel guitar wizard Robert Randolph (a whole story in himself, originally from Florida's sacred steel community, later covering Hendrix, Coltrane etc), with "Lay Lady Lay"--was thinking Al Green was on here too, oh well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZHi3blsNYw

i like that dylans gospel LP -- their "mighty quinn" kinda emphasizes its second-coming qualities
― tylerw, Friday, 25 March 2016 16:52 (eight years ago) link
Yeah, and speaking of "Just Like A Woman," Richie Havens started performing it soon after the original was released; always sounded good to me.

Con-funk-shun, "Mr. Tambourine Man"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmlUDAL_xU0Love the way they hit "followin' you!"
I THINK they may have added the line "bump some booty with your tambourine."

If we're gonna count Van, he (as lead singer of Them) did an ace "It's All Over Now Baby Blue" (various posts, but I'll go with this) Seems like they did a faster version too?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9L50OJ3iIkw
― dow, Tuesday, 2 January 2018 15:51 (six years ago) link
Staples Singers, "Hard Rain"---best version I've heard (well next to Ferry's, but this is really different, equally suitable) Call and response:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDscNMz0QVU
― dow, Tuesday, 2 January 2018 15:58 (six years ago) link
the Them version of Baby Blue is all time, what is that organ/glockenspiel kinda sound in the background? too beautiful - it's like Van discovered a melodic part to the song that Bob hadn't seen
― niels, Wednesday, 3 January 2018 17:04 (six years ago) link
clicked on this thread just to see if anyone had posted that version of Van's Just Like A Woman. Indeed the whole Pacific High Studio concert is awesome.

Elvis's version of "Tomorrow Is A Long Time" is soulful. Plenty of r&b and other elements (swamp pop? Tex Mex backing vocals at one point?) in Jerry Lee's studio version of "Rita May" or "Rita Mae," I've seen diff spellings; live version is faster and purely impure JLL; "Stepchild," from a few years ago, also great and demonstrates compatibilty and maybe relatedness of his and Dylan's phrasing: all of these were on youtube when I recently posted links on other threads.

Animals' House of the Rising Sun was picked up from the first Dylan lp and then fed into him becoming interested in electrifying didn't it? Interesting feedback loop.
Wonder what Otis Redding was going to get into if he'd lived beyond the plane crash era. Like if teh accident didn't happen. I heard he was picking up on both Dylan and the Beatles.

xp a lot of teleprompting in that clip but what really bugs me is the use of autotune
