Not a cover - a re-invention. THIS is the way it had to be sung, and only Joe could do it, turning a nice folk tune into an anguished triumph of gospel styled R and B.
@rsflutterby They say that the woman was Edie Sedgwick and that Dylan wrote this song for her. She died very young. You can find more about her on Wikipedia.
My english isnt that good, may somebody tell me what this song is about? I guess it´s about an partnership, which the woman broke up, and about the pain the singer has now ?!
@brucetee88 Yes - and I think it is less to do with language than if you have had that experience yourself! Personally I prefer the original Dylan version.
From his 1st album in1968,with stevie winwood ,jimmy page and chris stainton .One of the most beautiful recordings of the century, a legend was born. Joe is now in his 5th decade as a recording artist/ blues singer ,still going strong!!!

Apart from Joe's amazing vocals and the gospel hammond, that piano lick does it for me. I wonder how they got that piano sound in those days..
