Nobody Sings Dylan Like Dylan Goes Acoustic Again (Volume 14) - Various Artists

Welcome back, friends, for our fourteenth heaping serving of Dylan covers. This week's specials include George Harrison's delicious 1970 demo recording of "I Don't Want to Do It," a song he would officially record and release nearly 20 years later on the soundtrack to "Porky's Revenge"; and the David Rawlings Machine, featuring Gillian Welch, with a down home recipe for "Wicked Messenger." Also on the menu are such old favorites as Bruce Springsteen, Jerry Garcia, and the Byrds, and new treats like Nick Drake, Lucy Kaplansky and Chris Smither, all cooked up with a refreshing acoustic flavor.

Speaking of Rawlings and Welch, they covered "Idiot Wind" at the PEN/New Yorker Tribute to Bob Dylan a few years back, under the nom du jour The Esquires. If anyone has a copy, I'd love to include it in a future volume of this series, so please PM me.

Big shout-outs are in order to Mark Persic, who streamed "Oh Merci" last week in as much of its entirety as our hosts permit, and also to my new friend Brian in England, who sent me the "Merci-ful" tracks I've not yet included in this series in somewhat better quality than the version that was streamed. I'll include them in the next volume of this series.

As usual, thanks to the tapers, the original uploaders, the folks who've sent me recordings, the fine artists who've created cover artwork, and especially the performers and composer. Due to the many different sources, I am not including lineages. I have done nothing to the original files but normalize the levels and fade in and out on each track (using Cool Edit). Please keep the suggestions and files coming, and by the way I'm still searching for live versions of Waylon Jennings doing "Things Have Changed" and Roger McGuinn doing "Golden Loom" live (there are soundboards from Apr 30, 1977 and May 2, 1977 in existence, perhaps listed as Byrds reunion shows), so if you have 'em, please PM me.

Bon appetit!

18. Every Grain of Sand - George Harrison (2-10-88, Rockline, KLOS Studios, Los Angeles, w/Bob "BC" Coburn)

A few notes:

1) Sheryl Crow's studio version of "Mississippi" predated Dylan's release on "Love and Theft" by a few years, and it made this major song sound minor. Here, stripped down at the 1999 Bridge show, she redeems herself.

2) Ron Sexsmith's melancholy version of "To Ramona" is the best performance I've ever heard of this song--the composer's versions included.

3) Dervish is an Irish folk band--I'd never heard of them before I started this project, but what a lovely rendition of "Boots of Spanish Leather"!

4) John Doe and Jennifer Jason Leigh were promoting the movie "Georgia," in which she played a would-be singer and he was a member of her band. Here, she wisely lets him take the lead.

5) "The Times They are a-Changin'" is probably as familiar as Shakespeare's "To Be or Not To Be." Only a performer of Springsteen's stature can bring something new to it at this point.

6) George Harrison was goofing around when he played "Every Grain of Sand" as part of a medley on the syndicated radio show Rockline, but he still brought a deep affection to the performance. I suspect their spirituality--though very different--was part of the bond these two Wilbury brothers shared. Stick around to the end of this one for a surprise!

09 From the Bill Graham Memorial Concert. I guess Dylan couldn't make it.
