Neighborhood Bully.

Several songs on Joan Baez’s “Any Day Now” album. They were written by Dylan. Example: “Love is just a Four Letter Word”

That’s a good song. I have that vinyl album.

“ I was so much older then, I’m younger than that now”.

"I Shall Be Released" - Bob Dylan & The Band (& friends)

“Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door”

Warren Zevon’s version is my favorite cover of it.

"This Wheel's On Fire" - Bob Dylan & The Band

"Highway 61 Revisited"

[shadowlands1960]

Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen and Paul Simon are my favorite songwriters.. I find it curious that they are all three Jewish.

[Scrambler Bob]

Brownsville Girl. For now, anyway, there are so many more.

[shadowlands1960]

Blind Willie McTell is excellent.. I first heard it off the first bootleg collection. That was when I found out that Dylan isn’t necessarily the best judge of which songs of his are good.

"Things Have Changed"

[shadowlands1960]

Alvin Lee did ‘I’d Love to Change the World’ because his producer was pressuring Ten Years After to do a topical song. My understanding is that he hated it and never performed it live. Funny that it is their most recognizable song.

[shadowlands1960]

All the songs on ‘Any Day Now’ are Dylan covers.
