Covers # 35 Johnny Rivers


And here's a snapshot of how he went with the times. Also from Realization, (which contains a number of covers, including Whiter Shade of Pale and Hey Joe),  by which point Rivers has gone all beads and patchouli. Here he brings out and supplements the melody of Dylan's original, (as happened so often when other artists covered his work), while downplaying some of the venom. Someone else to investigate.
