Randogs Daily Pick-10/23/2014 Where Have You Gone, My Blue Eyed Young Son? In spite of an almost complete lack of clamor (well, there IS this one guy) for this, Ive decided to list my ten favorite recordings of Bob Dylan songs; some are by Bob, some by other artists, and needless to say, I like each of them for different reasons. Here goes. 1. Tomorrow Is A Long Time-Elvis Presley-Bob told Jann Wenner that it was his favorite recording of a song hed written. Elvis reportedly learned it from Odettas version; he probably got her album of Dylans songs free, since they were both on RCA at the time. Odettas album is really good as well. 2. Dont Think Twice, Thats All Right-The Wonder Who--Really Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons--Sucks really bad, everybody knew who it was at the time...still, probably better than Eve Of Destruction, the only more naked attempt at exploitation of the folk song movement. 3.The Walls Of Redwing-Joan Baez-A song about a Minnesota reformatory for wayward boys from Joans all Dylan album, this is a very moving song. Jack Elliott recorded it as well, within the last ten years. 4.Walkin Down The Line-The Dillards 5.Walk Out In The Rain-The Del McCoury Band. 6.One Two Many Mornings-Jerry Jeff Walker &.Girl From The North Country-The Hutchison Brothers-From a very entertaining Takoma lp from the famous Winfield, Kansas festival--a unique interpretation, to say the least. 9.This Wheels On Fire- A co-write with Rick Danko of The Band, and one of their best recordings. 10.I Dont Believe You-(You Act Like We Never Have Met)-Glen Campbell-A quite powerful reading of this under rated classic. 10 A.John Brown-The Staples Singesrs-most powerful anti-war statement Ive ever heard, and this is the most powerful version...I was made aware of this song by Maria Muldaur, who played it on one of those These Are My Favorite Records radio shows back when I lived in the bay area, twenty or more years ago...Thank you very much for your kind attention .Hmmm...turns out none of these are by Bob after all...sorry, Bob.
