Awesome! The only thing better than Dylan is Paul doing Dylan. Thanks for the heads up.

Paul's covering 'It Takes a Lot To Laugh, it Takes a Train To Cry', my absolute favorite less important Dylan song. (I say less important because I rarely see it mentioned.)

I can scratch another fantasy cover off my list. Now if he'd just do 'Sunday Morning Coming Down.'

where does one acquire this cover?

It's free with Uncut magazine. It comes out in the UK this week, but the US version is usually two or three weeks behind.

Uncut Magazine

Any of you guys in the UK have it yet?

Is it in stores already, or do you subscribe? I asked a clerk at the record store that tends to get Uncut a bit earlier than Borders or Barnes and Noble, but they didn't have it yet; they told me to call back later in the week and they'd hold a copy for me.

ready access to uncut's one of the advantages adamapple enjoys from living in the big apple, i suppose

;D bought it at a local magazine store in nyc that gets all those mags almost always the day after they come out in the UK...and the song is still cool, the third time thru

i only listened to it once and wasn't intending to listen to it again! but i'll give it one more try.

I had a chance to pick up Uncut yesterday, thanks to an independent record store that tends to stock their magazines a few weeks earlier than Borders et.al. It wouldn't sound out of place on Dead Man Shake. And if your not a fan of his cover of 'Positively 4th Street', you probably won't be a fan of this one either.

I'm looking forward to getting it.

The Positively Fourth Street cover was cool the first time, but I'm not so crazy about his "My Dad" version.

[salparadise]

sounds VERY rough indeed, wish he would have speeded it up a bit, could have been a great rocker. the lead guitar is grandpaboy-ish to the bone. there's defintley a vocal overdub at the end of the song for the last verse or so, wish he would have sung the whole song like that.

still, its the best cover on the cd, and while i like the drive by truckers, richmond fontaine and the american music club a lot, the only interesting other version is by dave alvin. almost spoken word, but funny.

Well, it's roughly the same riff as "I'm So Lonesome I Can Cry", isn't it?

I dug the cover. Really raw, but with interesting production tricks (the double tracked vocals).

The rest of the covers ranged from good (DBT, Songdog) to so-so (American Music Club, a few others) to the rest.

I thought American Music Club's cover of 'Queen Jane Approximately' (yo, Indoor Boy) blew the others away.

ahh, but that's such a great song. Hard to screw it up I would imagine..
