I've been obsessing over covers, interpretations and remakes lately

[The Polack MSgt]

I think it's safe to say that Bob Dylan has the most covers - and not by a slim margin either.

Jack and Meg had a go at "Isis" and I think it's pretty damn good

[brewens]

1. Here's another great one.

[The Polack MSgt]

2. 1st listen. It's very damn good. As I would expect from Chrissy Hines

Thanks!

[brewens]

4. That's Booker T and the MG's backing her up at the Dylan 25th celebration. :)

[vanlassie]

5. And GE Smith and Paul Schaffer

[Docreed2003]

3. Here's another nice Dylan cover from WS

[The Polack MSgt]

6. Damn Doc. This is cool. I forgot this was a thing that existed

Jack does a great job with the phrasing/structure of these verse to chorus transitions.

I suspect musicians cover Bob because of the way his songs can be manipulated to fit you style - but remain strong and well made...

I wish I had the vocabulary to explain what I mean - - -

But I never took any music theory, and my AAS is in RF Communications Systems.

So, not many electives were required is what I'm getting at...

10. You said it well.

[Docreed2003]

22. I think you're spot on bro

You described it perfectly. The depth of the lyrics and the the music allows for an artist to create their own playground and Jack does an incredible job with that.

7. I think one of the first was the best

Jimi's interpretation of "All Along the Watchtower" comes immediately to mind. Dylan loved it too.

[YorkRd]

8. I like this one a lot.

[The Polack MSgt]

15. These guys are so solid. I really feel optimistic about the direction Bluegrass is going

So many great young artists

[sprinkleeninow]

18. Very, very nice.

"Got to be NC." 🤍

[YorkRd]

9. Then there's this

[The Polack MSgt]

13. Nice find cousin.

Miss Warren quite a bit.

Such a great songwriter.

I was gonna post Boom Boom Mancini, but I listened to your post 1st, and heard that Bob did that one.

So let's hear about a headless Thompson Gunner instead

[YorkRd]

16. This is quirky as it gets. Basically Warren replacing Michael Stipe in REM doing Prince

[The Polack MSgt]

17. HINDU LOVE GODS!

Loved that EP!

Good night YorkRd. It's bedtime for me

[Bristlecone]

11. That's a great cover. Jack White is awesome. I like how he grinds the guitar licks.

This has been posted here several times, probably by you, but it’s one of my favorite Dylan covers.

[The Polack MSgt]

12. Billy is such an amazing guitarist

And yes, I posted this before, several other people have as well. Can't blame us, it's fucking great

As good as Billy's picking is, Danielle Nicole's voice is just as impressive.

[Bristlecone]

14. Yeah, that voice starts at the bottom of her feet and channels all the way up.

The gravel reminds me a little of Beth Hart, but she’s all her own. That is a solid save to the Favorites list. Thx.

19. Well you have me thinking about them

Here is one in honor of David Bowie.

Apocalyptica feat. Till Lindemann - HELDEN

https://m.

I think this is the best cover of the Scorpion classic from the Uli Jon Roth era.

Testament - The Sails of Charon (Scorpions)

https://m.

[The Polack MSgt]

23. It takes brass to cover a Bowie song. His voice and style were so singular, iconic

I had never listened to Apocalyptica before.
I'm gonna have to listen a few more times to give it a fair shot - because it's a pretty in your face arrangement. and I think I need to get acclimated to it. (Edited to add - I like how they picked the German version of Heroes to cover)

The Ugly Kings covered Lazarus from David's last record "Black Star", but they didn't modify the arrangement as much as Apcalyptica did.
They just beefed up the drums and cranked the guitars

The Testament take on "Sails of Charon" is also new to me, but I dig it.

[ornotna]

20. Not a Bob Dylan song but still pretty good

Daddy's Little Pumpkin - Drive-By Truckers

[The Polack MSgt]

[NBachers]

21. Hawkwind AND Samantha Fox: Gimme Shelter. This will charge up the old battery!

I like this take. Thanks man
