Comment:
The spark that ignited this mix was SammyG's comment on my Talent Borrows, Genius Steals mix. His reminder of the second Beck Them sample on Odelay set me thinking about all the different versions of It's All Over Now Baby Blue there are knocking about. #1 Is the original. #2 is the version The Byrds cut in 1965 that remained unreleased until the early 90s. #3 is the version Beck sampled on #4. #5 is a cover of Them's cover. #6 is a 2000 recording from a download only album that cropped up on an Uncut magazine Dylan tribute CD that falls halfway between the Dylan and Them/Elevators version. #7 is a late country style Byrds version. #8 is the song Donovan plays to Dylan in the film Don't Look Back before Bob plays It's All Over Now Baby Blue to Donovan. #9 is Dylan from the Manchester Free Trade Hall Bootleg Series CD. This, for me, is the greatest live album ever. The contrast between the silent rapt attention of the audience during the acoustic set and the hostility during the electric set, capped with the Judas moment is incredible. Mind you, I would love to hear a recording of the Neil Young Tonight's The Night tour where he played the whole, at that point, unreleased album to an indifferent/hostile response, came back for a second set, announced that he would now play 'some songs you've heard before' and played the Tonight's The Night set again. By the way, if anybody has any suggestions of further versions of It's All Over Now Baby Blue or related tracks to flesh out this mix I would be very interested to hear them.
Feedback:
One of my favourite tracks. Hope you can make use of the others I've sent you..
vwery interesting project
Apart from that Dylan geezer this looks tops.
Well Barb Jungr's got a version on her pretty excellent Dylan covers album, Every Grain of Sand... lots more later-period songs on that album too than most BD cover albums, which i'm quite glad for the existence of. actually it seems like pretty much everyone who makes a Dylan cover album is contractually obligated to cover this song: Richie Havens does it on Sings Beatles & Dylan, the G. Dead do it on the Masked & Anonymous soundtrack, Joan Baez gives it a whirl on Farewell Angelina (which isn't exactly a Dylan covers album, but is really almost halfway there). i love these things that are just variations on one song, plus branches on the family tree near and far. Dead Man has got a good one for instance on "Tomorrow Never Knows"... this song looks like a great pick for a thing like this, though. hope you succeed in fleshing it out!
