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.

Leigh

Guild Starfire 5, Fender Telecaster, Fender Stratocaster, K Yairi and Walden and a 12 Stagg string acoustic guitar and other music making boxes - including mandolin, bouzouki and 5 string banjo, uke and acoustic bass - a few M-Audio keyboards and a flute - all played and treated with equal love and attention - zoom ut 2 pedal and Logic Pro X

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.

Stupid Stupid Stupid.

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.
It ain't pretty being easy.

Okay to Cover

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.
