80 Bob Dylan Covers Spotify Playlist

94

Legendary singer-songwriter Bob Dylan celebrated his 80th birthday last week. The Duluth, Minnesota native has amassed among the most impressive and revered bodies of work, creating an unparalleled catalog of original songs.

Among his accomplishments include receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom and induction into Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame and the Songwriters Hall Of Fame. Dylan’s songs also earned special recognition from the Pulitzer Prize Board, and in 2016 he was given the prestigious honor of the Nobel Prize In Literature, “for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition.”

Dylan’s songs have been, and will continue to be, played everywhere from bedrooms to the biggest stages around the world. Such has been the case since the 1960s when Dylan’s contemporaries started performing his songs both in concert and in the studio. In the decades that followed, more and more musicians looked to Dylan for inspiration, using his songs to help find voices of their own.

This edition of Saturday Stream presents a Spotify Playlist capturing covers of 80 different songs written by Bob Dylan. Included are well-known covers like Jimi Hendrix’s blistering version of “All Along The Watchtower,” George Harrison’s piercing “Isn’t It A Pity” and The Byrds shimmering take on “Mr. Tambourine Man,” alongside others of varying degrees of familiarity. An effort was made to not repeat performers of the covers, though some bands like the Grateful Dead have members appearing more than once.

A diverse range of genres are represented, bluegrass (Leftover Salmon, Greensky Bluegrass, The Infamous Stringdusters), country (Johny Cash & June Carter Cash), soul (Sam Cooke), jazz (Nina Simone, MMW, Hudson), gospel (The Blind Boys Of Alabama, Mavis Staples), Americana (Gillian Welch & David Rawlings, Wilco & Fleet Foxes) and more.

Additional covers featured on the playlist include performances by Phish, Dead & Company, Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir & Rob Wasserman, Widespread Panic, Gregg Allman, Bonnie Raitt, Taj Mahal, Lucinda Williams, Warren Zevon, Bruce Springsteen, Steve Earle, Bruce Hornsby, Los Lobos, Susan Tedeschi, The Derek Trucks Band, The White Stripes, My Morning Jacket, Eddie Vedder, Beck, The Wood Brothers, Yo La Tengo, Neal Casal, Sheryl Crow & Jason Isbell, Margo Price, Eric Krasno, Marco Benevento and Tea Leaf Green, among others.
