Don't Think Twice, It's Alright
[A little more info about the album cover on The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan, and the James Dean photo , pictured above]I had no idea how covered this song was until I actually started looking. I have about 25 to go, and I'm pretty impressed. I did just listen to dozens of other shit-ass, pretentious piano versions of this great song... but you don't want to hear them.
That's what I do for you. I am your musical Jesus. I listened to these songs so you wouldn't have to.
Take a listen to this Dylan classic. Twice, and then one more time from The Gaslight in NYC ('62).
And then these really nice tributes to Bob:
Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons (best arrangement... hands down)
The Small Stars (esp. lead guitar)
Johnny Cash
The Derek Trucks Band (w Susan Tedeschi)
Elvis Presley
Odetta
Ivy League ('65, folksie)
Duane Eddy ('65, country-folk instrumental)
A lot of people make it sort of a love song - slow and easygoing. But it isn't a love song. It's a statement that maybe you can say something to make yourself feel better. It's as if you were talking to yourself. - bob dylan
