Monday's Moment of "Like Wow!"

From 2007, please enjoy ex-Blaster Dave Alvin and his take on "Highway 61," which is my new favorite Dylan cover ever.




Alvin recorded this for a Dylan covers CD given away with an issue of UNCUT, a British music magazine which is to MOJO what CRACKED is to MAD, sort of. In any case, it's fucking fantastic is all I'm gonna say.

    Marvelous indeed!

    FYI, if you don't already watch the most excellent FX show Justified, Dave Alvin was featured playing a song ("Harlan County Line") off his latest release this past season. Good to see him getting some free publicity.

    Can anything top "I'm Shakin'"? (I love this: "UNCUT... which is to MOJO what CRACKED is to MAD." And I don't read UNCUT either!)

    I saw Dave play at a festival in Golden Gate Park, back when I lived in SF, and he knocked it out of the park.

    Great version. But favorite Dylan cover ever...have you heard Mavis Staples do "Gotta Serve Somebody?"

    Yes, but I still don't like the song.

    Love Mavis, obviously....

    There's a whole album of black gospel singers doing Dylan material. Lots of great moments....
