Not my finest hour, but it was certainly fun making - Not a song I immediately associate with Bob Dylan, but more with "The Band" and Julie Driscoll and Brian Auger- but as he's on the credits with Rick Denko, I suppose it's true :D
Tried to make it close to a live performance as I could, so many versions, all so different, and here is mine.

I like it. Nice loose groove, just like the band would have done. Great choice for a song to cover. I dearly love those old Band songs. They had a spook about them, and you have a spook about this cover. Fine, fine job Leigh.

Great feel to this...really well played. It does have that loose Band feel. I can't make out any of the vocals though. I'd love to hear them louder in the mix.

Thanks Dave and Sandy, It was a blast doing this - so much so I got a bit carried way and managed to crash Garage Band while adding bits and mixing, and stupidly I hadn't saved often enough and found I had managed to corrupt the master*?! when I thought I was working on a copy. so this is probably the best I can do with this without redoing the whole again.

Nice guitar jammin vibe, long fade, and cool vocals & chord progression! Not familiar with the original, but this got a cool cowboy live feel!

Great cover Gu.
I've never heard the original, but this one was very well performed.

Thanks all for the listen. I must admit I was surprised that a few of you hadn't heard "The Band"s version.
So here's a tube, sorry its audio only.
