Nick Cave is a big favorite of ours here at alldylan, he gave us a very special concert at Bergenfest last year, and he’s clearly a Bob Dylan fan.
Today it’s his birthday, and we celebrate by looking at his interpretation of Dylan’s songs. We found three different tunes, if there are more, please tell us in the comment section.
Let us start.
Nick Cave talks about the song he wished he had written, I threw it all away:
Includes a second “When I Paint My Masterpiece,” which is not as impressive as at Basel, and an electric arrangement of “Desolation Row,” which is surprisingly effective, primarily because of some fine playing by Mike Campbell, whose guitar work throughout the rour is something of a revelation.
