WILLIN' / BOB DYLAN (LOWELL GEORGE COVER)

[MrOdd4kelly]

bobby? im ashamed of you. whites? how does that mix with heroin?

[SFCBenny57]

I think that just the fact that Dylan chose to do the song would have pleased Lowell beyond belief.

[me637363]

How sweet! Good one.

[GRobb62]

i thins is the 1st time ive heard Dylan cover anort writer's music, & look who it is, Lowell George.

[wingseclipsed]

@GRobb62 I'm not surprised that Dylan liked this song well enough to cover it. He did cover Woody Guthrie's songs which puts Lowell in excellent company. Wish Lowell was still alive to keep appreciating it.

[venicesurfer73]

This sucks. Huge fan of Dylan, huge fan of Little Feat and Lowell George...but this just plain sucks.

[jlambert321]

listened to this cover because i wanted to hear how the folksinging legend wouldtreat this tune(anyone remember howfolks were burning BDylan records because he started playing an ELECTRIC guitar?.claimed he was a sell out,)that was about 1966?i wanted to hear his xpression of Lowell's song , and while i listend i read the comment's,..and i'm thinkin damn!if lowell or dylan were playin in a club and ya'll started that carp, they'd probably packandbail/a good feelin outdonebythenegativity

[ejgiv]

Sorry man, legend or no legend, Bob Dylan is a complete phoney. There is nothing of the richness and from the heart sincerity with which Lowell George sang this song. No wonder all the people are talking in the background and not listening.

[TD1878]

@ejgiv & naturally your comment intimates your ignorance on the subject matter - which, for your edification is that Bob & Lowell were about to collaborate on a project as Lowell passed away. So, instead of finding a way to criticise all concerned you might reconsider your criticism & understand how much Bob obviously admired Lowell as an artist (one that too few people give sufficient recognition for the body of work (he left behind). OK?

LIVE  AUSTIN TExAS Sepyember 9th 1990

[GRobb62]

i never knew dylan coverd this great song by Lowell George.....

[willy2067]

max creek does a killer version of this tune!

[mtrenchfan]

My music instructor showed me this one and we couldn't stop laughing. We paly this in our class and, I don't want to sound cocky (I have huge amounts of respect for Bob Dylan), our vocals sound better. I wish we had a steel guitar to go along with our vocals though.

[wc4dblues]

@mtrenchfan How many albums do you, or your music teacher have out? how many grammy's?gold records,

are you in the hall of fame, how about your teacher? But I'm sure you sound better.

[mtrenchfan]

@wc4dblues wow, you're an over reactive jerk. It's astounding how one person can completely miss another's meaning. I guess that's what happens when you mix freedom of speech, internet, and the socially un-evolved.

[wc4dblues]

@wc4dblues OK what grade are you in the 7th? Don't write a letter calling me an over reactive jerk, I was poking fun at you, It takes a faulty ego to come out saying that you sound better than one of THE GREATEST singers of all time. If your really that good, where are all your awards? Dylan is a stylistic singer, his voice sounds like that because the voice itself is making a statement. Check out Tom Waits, or stay with Miely Cryus I don't care. You're most likely better than her too? Fool.

[dogman1947]

just the fact of who is doing who's song is a mindfuck

[hanghang71]

@dogman1947 thats a fact

[robinidiot]

Whoa... that's a butchering of a sweet sweet song... nothing against Dylan, but he phoned this one in. Go listen to the live WHFS version with Linda... PLEASE!

[mavis41558]

Go listen to the live WHFS version with Linda

robinidiot

I did and you're right.

Thanks.

[thenameisryan]

timothyxmcveigh you're an idiot. You know nothing.

[ApocalypseKurtz]

I'm sure this version is 9/23/95 Ft. Lauderdale. I will post the 1990 version. Check the Semi-Precious Memories Compilation.

[SHAKEDOWN72]

terrible!...I love both Dylan and The Feat's.....The Feat's more like.....but this is piss poor............

[timothyxmcveigh]

I think I just threw up in my mouth a little. He went so damn corporate after "like a rolling stone" it's disgusting. And his voice sounded more and more retarded, and he started wearing clothes like Prince haha...The basement recordings where he was a woody guthrie rip off were by far better...Hippie + Electric guitars = Laaaame.

[timothyxmcveigh]

Anything Dylan did after the 60s is pretty much bullshit...One or two exceptions maybe...

[owenjay04]

You have lost your mind, dude...Desire, Blood On The Tracks, Time Out Of Mind, Love and Theft all masterful...

[chiidang]

hi NibsMingMingDylinn :

you are only 14 !?

Bob dylan is a good teacher for  you

[little420sis]

curtrocks says no such thing as a bad version of this song.

[NibsMingMingDylinn]

Sounds like a bar band playing in front of thousands of kids...

Oh yeah...that's what it IS!

and great for it, too...

[jwmulvaney]
