Dylan Cover #430 Kappa Danielson "Senor (Tales of Yankee Power)" Live
In this ongoing Monday Series we will be exploring various artists versions of Bob Dylan song's. Today's tune is a live cover by the Kappa Danielson of the Dylan tune "Senor (Tales of Yankee Power)"
Thoughts on Original:
From the first time we talked about this tune:
A layered and moving song, the real highlight on a mixed up Dylan album (Street Legal), "Senor (Tales of Yankee Power)" is musically riveting and lyrically haunting. Acoustic plucking, rolling drums and a forlorn trumpet color the tune musically while some straight ahead lyrics mix with the surreal and backup singers add "Oooh and Aaaah" behind the nasal delivery of the Bard. Looking at the "Painted Wagon" and smelling the "Tail of the Dragon" are just two examples of bizarre lyrics that could pertain to nuclear war or something else entirely making it all even more enchanting. A gorgeous music background with perplexing lyrics and a strong vocal performance...yup, I dig this one a ton.

Thoughts on Cover Artist:
RtBE is new to Kappa Danielson. Will check her out more in the future.
Thoughts on Cover:
A fantastic acoustic cover version with extremely powerful singing and delicate playing. Daielson does a great job with this straight ahead live cover.
