One thought on “Elvis Costello Sings Bob Dylan – Happy Birthday Elvis Costello”

  1. Egil: Being an old troubadour, (DOB April 13th, 1934) I enjoyed The Elvis Costello cover of “I Threw it all Away.” Here’s another for your list of interesting covers by old guys. One afternoon in the Shedd Studios here in Grand Junction, Colorado Jon James (the owner, videographer and multiple instrumentalist), and I were jamming and came up with an acoustical version of “Like a Rolling Stone.” It was a good take so we decided to fit it with lyrics on screen, some choice pictures of Bobby and turn it into a video. Jon added his musical skills playing tracks on piano, bass and drums, I sang and played guitar. When you listen keep your ears open for a great bass lick on the last verse. it was great fun for this elder fella’ and old friend of Bobby. I hope you enjoy it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_yz98VRaQY
