365 Days of Dylan, Day 46: She's Your Lover Now

365 Days of Dylan, Day 46: She's Your Lover Now. Perhaps a post-Valentine's Day song?

But, I've already been kissed,

I'm not gonna get into this.

I couldn't make it, anyhow.

You do it for me,

You're her lover now.

She's Your Lover Now lyrics.

Bob Dylan and members of The Band recorded the song for Blonde on Blonde, but it wasn't released until 1991's The Booleg Series Vol. 1-3.

Another version was included on The Cutting Edge 1965-1966: The Bootleg Series Vol. 12.

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.

365 Days of Dylan, Day 25: 900 Miles from My Home

365 Days of Dylan, Day 25: 900 Miles from My Home from The Basement Tapes Sampler, The Bootleg Volume 11. Traditional song, arranged by Bob Dylan.

"900 Miles from My Home" is another of the many examples of Dylan as an artist whose outtakes and alternate versions hold up as well or better than songs that make up the tracks on his original albums.

365 Days of Dylan, Day 14: I Shall Be Released

365 Days of Dylan, Day 14: I Shall Be Released, first heard on The Band's Music from the Big Pink, with so many wonderful versions to follow, including two different ones on Bob Dylan's Official Bootleg releases and a number of live versions too. 

This allstar performance from The Last Waltz.

Of the many covers, I particularly love Nina Simone's...

And Jeff Buckley's.

And there are so many more wonderful versions.

Joe Cocker performed a powerful rendition at Woodstock.

Let's close with this version from Bob Dylan, the ultimate stylist of this and all his songs, from Sidetracks.

At the end of the day, with the setting of the sun, we are all looking for a little rest, a little redemption, a little release.

365 Days of Dylan, Day 7: Going, Going, Gone

365 Days of Dylan, Day 7: "Going, Going, Gone."

Like Day 6 ("Tough Mama"), "Going, Going, Gone appears on Planet Waves.

I like Dylan's plantive vocal and the sharp-edged Robbie Robertson guitar flourishes that stumble the song forward. The Band plays tight and strong on this entire album.

365 Days of Dylan, Day 2: When I Paint My Masterpiece

Start of a new year. The canvas is blank. Time to work on my masterpiece. Here's a little musical inspiration from Bob Dylan, with some great covers and versions by the likes of the Grateful Dead, John Prine and Greensky Bluegrass.

Really like this demo version off of Dylan's "Another Self Portrait."

Great bluegrass rave-up version by Greensky Bluegrass.

Levon Helm owns this song on the remastered "Cahoots."

Love to hear how other artists interpret Dylan's music, like the Grateful Dead from 1989,

John Prine and Garth Hudson on "Love for Levon,"

And this soulful rendition by Chris Whitley and Jeff Lang.
