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 James Mercer & Robert Mercer of the Dylan tune "Spanish Harlem Incident"
Thoughts on Original:
From the first time we tackled a cover of this tune:
Easily one of my favorite early songs of Dylan's career, I love the sing-song playing of this tune and it's hints of his musical repertoire opening up. "OnTheCliffsOfYourWildCatCharmsI'mRiding" combined is such a sweet phrase and how he strung it out it is fantastic. You can see a young Bob becoming infatuated with a woman he saw, being inspired to write a tune that is filled with primal lust and sexiness. A song I have always wanted to learn to play and cover...but that is for another post...

A straight ahead solid cover of a dynamite little love/lust song from the Bard. Well, it is close to Valentines day....
