How's it hanging? Just a flying visit for now I'm afraid, but I did this one last weekend and I wanted to get in on the Dylan action. It's a fest that definitely gets my vote. I hope to get on a bit more in the coming weeks - I have started a new job, and to say it's hectic is an understatement. It's even eaten up a lot of guitar time.

Looks like there's hell of a lot of catching up to do  :D

This is one of my favourite Dylan tracks - I was surprised that no-one else has done it yet (I think). I'm a big fan of the Highway 61 Revisited Album (and Bringing it all back Home). I'm also a bit partial to Nashville Skyline come to think of it.

Anyway... here it is. Les Paul, Bass, Harmonica and Vocals all on the trusty MBR.

Sounds great!  I gotta figure out how to do this with the rhythm tracks.

Good song.

Nice seeing you on here.

Welcome back Tim, and congratulations on the new job!

Don't know the original song but I liked this one very much. I can truthfully say I usually enjoy Dylan covers more than the originals themselves (sorry, Bob!).

Hey Great Tim!
Great to hey something new from you, and great to hear you are working!
Those 3 Bob Dylan Albums you mentioned are my favorites as well,
Along with Blonde on Blonde!
I have always felt that The big three [ Lennon-McCartney, Bob Dylan & Paul Simon ]
were the greatest thing since the Classical Greats [ Bach, Beethoven, etc...]

nothing is real... So theres nothing to get hung about!

Good to hear from you Tim.  Congrats on the new job, hope its good for you.

This is a favorite Dylan song for me, and this is a wonderful cover.  You definitely brought your own style into it, while keeping a Dylan flavour.... "up on housing project hill, its either fortune or fame".

Excellent!  Thanks for posting.    ;D ;D
