During the week of Bob Dylan's birthday, which was May 24, I celebrated by posting 16 covers of Dylan's work by various artists (17 covers when you figure that Eric Clapton did two). Onething I tried to do was to show the range of Bob Dylan's appeal, from Black Gospel choir, to folk, to rock, to country; from tender love songs to biting social commentary to sheer celebration.
Below is the list of songs, with a hyperlink to each post:
- Pressing On (Chicago Mass Choir)
- A quoi ça sert de chercher à comprendre (French translation of “Don’t Think Twice, It’s Alright by Hugues Aufray)
- Blowin in the Wind (Peter, Paul & Mary)
- Mr. Tambourine Man (The Byrds)
- The Times They Are a-Changin' (Tracy Chapman)
- Lay Down Your Weary Tune (Marley's Ghost)
- Mississippi (Sheryl Crow)
- What Was It You Wanted? (Willie Nelson)
- I'll Remember You (Grayson Hughes)
- A Hard Rain's a-Gonna Fall (Jason Mraz)
- Love Minus Zero/No Limit, and Don't Think Twice, It's Alright (Eric Clapton)
- If Not for You (George Harrison)
- Make You Feel My Love (Adele)
- Boots of Spanish Leather (Nanci Griffith)
- Every Grain of Sand (Emmylou Harris)
