I`m not really a fan of Dylan covers. A lot of the ones I`ve heard never seem to struggle out from under the giant shadow cast by Dylan`s own originals: IMO most of his songs are so permeated with his personality that it`s difficult for another artist`s interpretation to take.
So the cover versions I like are generally of Dylan`s less epic songs, where he has left a bit of room for someone else to add something to the song. Most of the ones I`m thinking of are on
Il Duce`s list :
