The Everly Brothers - Abandoned Love ( Bob Dylan )

[seattleape]

You got me at "I can see the turning of the key." Thx for posting this. "We sat in an empty theater and we kissed.'

[gasmeter1947]

This version is without a doubt THE BEST

The uileann pipes are beautiful in this, being very slightly out of pitch contrasts perfectly with the Everlys sweet (as usual) harmonies. love this song.

[gasmeter1947]

The uileann pipes sound beautiful here ,being very slightly out of pitch helps to contrast the pureness of the Everlys sweet harmonies, love this song.

[brendanseanbarry]

The uileann pipes ruin it.

I saw Phil and Don at Newcastle City Hall around the time this album came out (1986). It was a great show and I never thought I'd get to see them again. Moving on 18 years, they showed up at Hyde Park with Simon and Garfunkel. Yes!!

[tickyreal]

There have been many Brothers and Sisters groups over the years, but none had the impact of these two boys from Kentucky..

.......Let's STAY DEVOTED To The Everly Brothers.....

[ElDanoLectro]

Dylan's rendition of their song 'Let It Be Me' is also fantastic.

[JohnPaulRingoGeorges]

The George Harrison's Version is so far better !!!! And Bob's version is The BEST !! :D The original :) <3

[byebyelove1944]

[byebyelove1944]

THnks ! vERY NICE eVERLY SONG. (KEEPITEVERLY)

[headalphafemale]

This is the oddest sound I've heard and it really had me surprised. Pulling on Nessie's tail like that.

[justmusicandme]

Brilliant version - thanks for posting!

[Anima3333]

Bit of Dylan trivia – The Every Brothers are among the artists Bob Dylan played the most often on his radio show.

[edoggio]

isnt it supposed to be "i thought that he was righteous, but hes vain" ? not "i thought that he was right, but hes afraid"

[paleyoungman]

@edoggio

You're right. They probably heard it wrong and didn't have a published copy in front of them. Happens sometimes.

[Anima3333]

Dylan + Everly Brothers - couldn't ask for more ♥

[suedeheadist]

Beautiful.

[NEDERLANDADDICT]

EVERLY BROS harmonies Forever !

[surfcottage]

exquisite!

[peerman2006]

Why is Dylan covered so much? Because his songs come from deep inside his heart. His voice is not pretty, but so real.

[diodewatch11]

so calming

[H1234567890]

What a great cover

[justmusicandme]

Thanks again for this excellent post!

[cjthemusicman]

@justmusicandme - Thank you, my friend, for sharing this again. It's wonderful, isn't it. :) I hope you had a wonderful Summer!

[aynatn]

I love Dylan singing his songs...and Kristofferson singing his, but as far as excellent interpretation and beauty of voice and harmony, no one can beat the Everlys.

[tickyreal]

wow

[flemishaardvark]

Lots of good covers of this song but the one I really like is by Pat Guadagno and Tired Horses from the "That's a Bob Dylan Song" album...awesome!

[belovia50]

Isn't this pretty? Thanks for sending, Angel. This is one of those "catchy" songs that will be in your mind for hours. Thanks for posting. *****.

[NikaziO14]

I like every single version of this song

[BC25citizen]

Oh, I love this song! Never knew Dylan wrote it - figures. It's too good to have been written by some ordinary hack. So the album is called "Born Yesterday"? Right-o, Amazon, here I go again...

ps I cracked up at your comment about WB "throwing their toys out of the pram"! LOL

[AGibsonJ]

In an interview, Dylan said this is his favorite cover. Thanks for posting such a gorgeous song!!!

[Nonebound1]

so good - so irish

god bless

bj

[begbieboy]

LOL, I never thought they'd o a song like this. Sounds strange to me... they wore the ball and chain.

[topboss]

Boring and predictable. Cant hold a candle to Dylan.

[dtlusk]

these men have given the most exquisite rendition ever possible,

[justmusicandme]

Best version, imho.

[ElevenMileRecords]

I'm sorry, but this version is downright boring. Lacks excitement and enthusiasm. And the drums are downright horrible. Sounds like a drum machine. How can such great vocalists like the Everly's have no passion with such a great song? If you want to hear how this song is supposed to sound listen to Dylan's live version at The Other End club in 1975. No lack of passion in his vocals. But, of course, nobody sings 'em like Dylan.

[blogward]

Dave Edmunds producing can't have helped.

[begbieboy]

George Harrison also did a cover of this one, and sound lots better.

[nhienphan2808]

They sure can make anyone's song their own XD Love this AND them !

[koogala]

I am sure that Bob enjoys this rendition, IT IS GREAT!!!!!!!

[justmusicandme]

I agree with MyGrayGhost, I would love to hear that one, too!!

[MyGrayGhost]

I love this song so much. Was one of my late mom's favorites. If you could post Arms of Mary by the Everly's, itd be even better. Thanks again so much.

[TheOmegaSolution]

I really love this song. I want to download it for my MP3 player any help please?

I have Dylans most excellent original but this is it's only equal and I neeeed it!!!

[justmusicandme]

,,,,and again.....

[justmusicandme]

...here I am listening to this again.....

[musicmaker1999]

wow how long have i been searching for this and here it is bravo for the posting

[justmusicandme]

I LOVE THIS!

[justmusicandme]

Another lovely video!

[Swan1947]

Thank you for posting....love the Everly Brothers.

[pteradac]

I absolutely love this! I have the cd -- wonderful!

[justmusicandme]

I'm going to try to get this cd. It seems to have a lot of my favorite late EB songs on it!

[sunnskyy]

Uilleann pipes, what a brilliant arrangement choice to evoke Dylan's harmonica part. Some Dylan songs are so personal, that other artists can't perform them with honesty, but the brothers pulled it off here. They must have felt the pain. Awesome harmonies, as always. Other genetic linked singers: Wilsons, Gibbs, Carters and the Andrews Sisters.

[justmusicandme]

@sunnskyy Excellent comment - Wish I had said that!

[Shabannie]

@justmusicandme Thank you for sharing this old Dylan tune with me. I enjoyed it too.

[mysticmaverick1]

That's Liam O'Flynn on the Irish pipes and tin whistle.

[alberthug]

[mrdee11091]
