Best Bluegrass Dylan Covers?

[Patrick Melly]

I like Seldom Scene's cover of "Baby Blue":

Where would be be without John Duffey's influence!? He had a way with.....style!

Not exactly bluegrass, but I'm fond of the version of "Farewell Angelina" that my band, Wake the Dead, does.

Gorgeous, really lovely.

Jaycat, I keep trying to find a Bogart reference but, I'm coming up dry!

For about 50 years, I've enjoyed the Dillards' take on Walkin' Down the Line from the Live -- Almost album (1964):



And, of course, didn't Dylan co-write Wagon Wheel? So is Old Crow's version a "Dylan cover?"

[Rex Hart]

Great choices. some I've heard and some not. The Copper Kettle chord structure is quite a bit different than Dylan's version. I heard Gillian Welch and David Rawlings do it and they play it fairly close to Dylan's version. On a side note, I recently purchased Dylan's Another Self Portrait Bootleg series. It is my favorite of all his bootlegs. David Bromberg backs him up on quite a few.A lot of the tunes have a Bluegrass feel to them. If you haven't listened to his version of Pretty Saro, you need to.

Quinn the eskimo covered by Old Crow MC
also saw the String Cheese Incident do a great newgrass cover of it and hot buttered Rum if my memory serves me but it could have been someone else
