365 Days of Dylan, Day 37: One Too Many Mornings

365 Days of Dylan, Day 37: One Too Many Mornings from Bob Dylan's third album The Times They Are a-Changin' released in 1964. 

Like many of Dylan's songs, One Too Many Mornings had multiple lives, with various live and outtake versions released by Dylan, not to mention a slew of covers from Johnny Cash, Joan Baez, Jerry Jeff Walker, Dion and even the Association.

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.

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.
