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
