Thoughts on artist:
From the first time we tackled a cover of this song:
C'mon...really? Iconic, one of his best known songs. A poetic marvel, beautifully played etc etc...essays are written on this song. I won't say much more, but will note that I read somewhere this is the one song Dylan actually tried to work with again and create another version; a part two so to speak, and it just didn't work. Hard to recreate this gem.

Thoughts on artist:
This is RtBE's first time hearing Abbey Lincoln which is amazing, and proves to us how little we still know about music.
Thoughts on the cover:
Fantastic, one of the best jazz covers of Dylan we have ever heard and Lincoln and company deliver it on his biggest tune.
