Happy Birthday Mr. Dylan!

Today is Bob Dylan’s 70th birthday and Shady Groove would like to celebrate.  Let’s take today to celebrate his life, his music, his influence.  It’s funny that almost every radio station you turn the dial to today is playing either a Dylan song or a cover of one of his.  Makes me wonder what Bob is doing today.  Imagine your birthday is a worldwide celebration of your life’s work.  Do you listen and celebrate too? Do you try to get away from it all?  I’d have to say that its most likely the latter.

Regardless, let play some Dylan tunes, listen to some Dylan covers, break out your old records, watch some video’s.  Here’s one of my favorite vids:

Ya’ll are lucky to be getting a double dose of the Groove this week. There was a certain Bob Dylan theme surrounding the day that definately had me doing some intense research.

Early in the day I heard a great cover of “I Was Young When I Left Home”, which didn’t even make it onto any Dylan albums; it probably would have been on his first. Interesting to mention that out of 13 tracks on his first album, “Bob Dylan”, only 2 were written by the great poet himself. Regardless, the cover of that great tune can be found on a brand new album called “Dark Was the Night”, produced by The National’s Aaron and Bryce Dessner, just released. The original can be found on Martin Scorcese’s soundrack to the documentary, “No Direction Home”.

That got me searching for some old school Dylan. A little bit of Highway 61 Revisited ensued. Later I heard another great Dylan cover done by Phish. Always one to nail a great cover, during a live performance in Washington, circa 1994, the band ripped into a killer, rockin’ “Fixin to Die”.

So continuing with the theme of the day, here is one of my favorite Dylan tracks. Widely considered as being the origins of rap, its definately a rhyme-flowing, rollicking, energetic, playful track…From Bringing All Back Home, this track is awesome! check it
