i also find it odd you all find it so horrible that he is "copying" dylan, but if you knew anything about dylan you would know that when he was young (60,61) he mimicted woody guthrie in everyway, not just music, accent, clothes, so its nit that odd
i find it funny some say hes impersinating dylan and thats bad, and some say he sounds to different.....i think its great doesnt sound anything like dylan, and its awesome, the only notable simerality is the long hold on the G note coming from the C ( i dont have the strength to get up and take another shoooooooooot), thats about it
It doesnt sound like he's impersonating dylan to me? do you guys who criticize this wright your own songs or play music? the songwriters performers I know would definately think this is great, and I do too.
What really killed any enjoyment I could have had from this, is the build-up. Can't stand unwarranted hype. I will allow that it's still better than 97% of the rest of Dylan impersonations on youtube. Whatever that's worth.
Soul is ...relative. I took the time to listen to some of is originals..and, while they don't measure up much past mediocre in my book still, I don't deny than he has some talent (always a relative thing.)
As to not being a wannabe -- maybe not 24/7, but he sure as shit was giving an embarrassingly slavish imitation of the Zimmer man.
@FungusMossGnosis I like the fact you take time and think about music, I'm just the same. Maybe you are right, maybe you're not. But I can understand what you mean, though I still find this a good preformance. As long as he is enjoying his 'copy' I don't mind, He does a bloody good job. But as everybody here will know, nobody can even compare himself to Dylan, the man is a living legend.
Far from it. I tend to prefer the real thing, that's why I criticizing ersatz-Dylan. On the other hand, there are a score of artists who 'cover' Dylan who I think are excellent.
Saying "this kid has the spirit" doesn't convince me. I can only go by what I hear.
Who gives a damn what his voice sounds like? I mean, this is Bob Dylan we're talking about. The guy is probably the most brilliant contemporary pop songwriter still living today. Everyone knows he was never the greatest singer. This kid does a great job, and his band is outstanding. The song itself carries its own weight, and I think it's great that someone can do it justice with a REAL band.
i have watched this once a day everyday since i found it a week ago. Great Great cover! You manage to capture all the power and majesty of this, Dylan´s finest blues tune. Great job! nice piano boy!!!
I´ve listened to countless covers of this song, and somehow they manage to be all great. Maybe it´s just that the song is so brilliant that it´s impossible to make a mess of it . . .
Amazing cover. Easily one of the best Dylan covers I have heard. Its as good, if not better, than your cover of 'boots of spanish leather' which is also spot on. Really great energy and a true and visceral sound. Well done
sounds really good....cool version man...lots of energy and emotion

Why do you lie? Why don't you try to be yourself? Even Bob was himself... Nobody's Bob Dylan! Nothing's Bob Dylan. Bob Dylan killed Bob Dylan.
It doesn't exist nothing called Bob Dylan! There are just a white sheet and some red blood!

@FungusMossGnosis I don't really know the guy, but I know for sure he isn't a wannabe. he puts soul in his music, and yes, he writes his own music.
