365 Days of Dylan, Day 26: This Wheel's On Fire

365 Days of Dylan, Day 26: This Wheel's On Fire from 1967's The Basement Tapes, written by Bob Dylan and Rich Danko. Lyrics.


    

"This Wheel's on Fire" is another well-covered Dylan tune.

The Band kicks off its rendition from Music from the Big Pink with a cracking, static organ riff.

  

From The Last Waltz, The Band's farewell concert.



The Byrds' Cover from Dr. Byrds & Mr. Hyde.


Lovely version by Ian & Sylvia from the All American Songs collection.
Their cover also appears on the album The Best of Vanguard Years and Nashville.
