You Ain't Goin' Nowhere (Bob Dylan) Cover

[jhankri]

You've got one of the best channels.. Could you do a tutorial on this song sometime?

[Spectic]

I've just discovered you but you're my favourite Bob Dylan cover artist. When I want to listen to a song I don't have and can't find on youtube, I'll look up your version.

[Gitt69]

What a great sound...love it!

[Lowdenjim]

@Gitt69 Thank you very much!

[fridrikur]

Sounds very good. I like the tone of your voice

[lazylazyshark]

I deeply love this song and you're making an excellent rendition! really many thumbs up!!

[Lowdenjim]

@lazylazyshark Thank you very much for listening in!

[hanghang71]

[Lowdenjim]

@hanghang71 Thank you - so many great songs to choose from!

[ichingiching]

i knew there was something missing .. a rocking chair.. ! really great version.. enjoyed that.. cheers

[lazylazyshark]

@ichingiching yes the rocking chair is perfect for this song.. ;)

[cljsk]

Very nice.....Thumbs up !!!

[cjoey39]

Fantastic song pal!! I know you are just rocking there but you really do make it look too easy!! Joey Vaughan "World Blues Attack"

[Lowdenjim]

@cjoey39 Cheers Joey - keep attacking those World Blues man!

[AnnaJohnsonMusic]

Great instrumentation and vocals! Love the rocking chair - perfect way to set the mood! :) Enjoyed listening ~Anna P.S. Thumbs up!

Nice version Jim -very easy on the ear too. The guitar in the song is not the one in the video though I suspect. The fact that you are fingerpicking in the video and the song is strummed kind of gives it away. The sound seems rather too full and resonant to be from a little parlour guitar like that. Artistic licence maybe and why not indeed.

[Lowdenjim]

You're right - I recorded it ages ago with a strummed track, overlayed with a finger-picked track and 2nd vocal on the chorus, then added the harmonica. It got lost in the archives and found by accident, so now I have a video camera I added the visuals. Thanks for listening.

love it, cheers The Makem Folk Singer

I'm running out of superlatives for you Jim. So poignant. I think you've come to us through haunted frightened trees and ancient empty streets just to deliver diamond studded tunes with vague traces of skippin’ reels of rhyme. Ethereal genius my friend. 

[Hickmann]

Keep on rockin', Lowdenjim, on that chair and elsewhere.

Great recording - what tuning is it that you play it in and what are the chord shapes?

Kind regards,

Michael

[Lowdenjim]

Thanks Michael - tuning is "Dropped D" (DADGBE) using chords D (000232) Em (222000) and G (550400).

It's played here with a capo on the 3rd fret (key F) and I use a Low "F" harmonica (Lee Oskar by Tombo). The key feature in the song is the simple slide up to the 5th fret G from the 2nd fret Em - good luck with it!

[Hickmann]

@Lowdenjim Thank you so much for these details. Doesn't sound too difficult and I'll sure give it a try...By the way, I got such a kick out of learning "Buckets of Rain" following your great teaching video...Cheers, Michael

[Lowdenjim]

You're right Michael - it's quite straightforward; let me know how you get on; I'd like to hear you sing it, and "Buckets" too

[Hickmann]

@Lowdenjim Thanks for your kind offer an encouragement, Jim! I will let you hear my versions as soon as I've gained enough confidence. At the moment, I'm just too humbled by what you do with these songs.

[ericfrostic]

love it!

[Lowdenjim]

Thank you for listening in, and very glad you like it!

[ericfrostic]

@Lowdenjim I´m a huge Dylan Fan and i listened to the basement tapes a lot, a few years ago and i didn´t notice this song much (to be true, i can´t remember it at all right now) and now, after i heard your version, it´s stucked in my head and i really like it! i also found this song on the soundtrack "i´m not there" with a nice performence by glen hansard and marketa irglova. it´s great to be captured by a dylan song after many years...it just happens now and then. thanks for that moment! :)

[goreedy]

A really great sound Jim - lovely and mellow. Enjoyed it very much. Simon.

[Lowdenjim]

Cheers Simon!

[jherr5150]

very nice Jim!

[Lowdenjim]

Thanks Jason - great to hear from you again...

[eastsidesteve]

I love all your videos, but this and Tomorrow's Such a Long Time are my favourites.

[Lowdenjim]

Thanks very much Steve

[tony59able]

I think all the cowboy references have been used up so I will just say that that was just fabulous and lovely to see you performing in between your teaching sessions that we all appreciate so much. Thanks Jim for the great music.

[Lowdenjim]

Thanks again Tony for your continued support - try to get along to the Royal sometime and say "hello" (bring your guitar)

[avantlalettre]

excellent Jim! you have been blessed with a talent

[razvanilin]

Beautiful as always , Jim :D

[raffaport]

Hee hee, love that rocker, V---, oops, nearly said Val D. then. Great job, Jim, especially on the little extras - harp and backing vocals in both ears. Thumbs and regards.

[Lowdenjim]

Cheers Raffa - an old recording I did a long time ago and forgot about (cropped up by accident on Minidisk) so had to put a vid to it after long after the event!

[thomassneade]

Great cover ! Makes me wanna do our attempt again...a bit rough around the edges to say the least !

[Lowdenjim]

Thanks very much - rough round the edges; that's me these days!!!

[Pfunky2007]

Nice job! This is GREAT!! ...not just the cover of one of my favorite songs from Pat Garrett but the cowboy hat too! haha. I need one of those big time! I'm tellin' you, I gotta fix these here wrists, get me a hat, some boots, saddle up, & head out west! :)

[gorby9POD]

@Pfunky2007 This song wasn't from Pat Garrett it was from the Basement Tapes. Great song though and a great cover. Yee haa!

[Pfunky2007]

@gorby9POD Woops! haha. ;)

[Lowdenjim]

OK Cowboy - but just remember if you ride on over to the good ole UK you need to hit the trail East....

[Pfunky2007]

@Lowdenjim That's true, I'll need to go east....horses can swim afterall. haha

[TheMakemFolksinger]

top cover of a great song, cheers Dave

[babs4TLove]
