Continuing our ongoing Monday's Dylan Cover Series, this week we present Eliza Gilkyson performing a cover of "Chimes of Freedom" .
From the first time we tackled a cover of this song:
This song is a giant one in Bob's catalog, but it has always been one of the classic Dylan anthems that never really struck a chord with RtBE. For some reason when we talk about Dylan moving from protest singer to full on poetic songwriter, this is the tune that comes to mind. It seems to be stuck between those two worlds and the version on Another Side Of Bob Dylan just doesn't connect on many personal levels. I may be in the minority but this has never been a great Dylan song in my eyes...which in-turn does make it ripe to cover...

Thoughts on Cover Artist:
This is the second time we are featuring Eliza Gilkyson who is a Taos, New Mexico-based folk musician, in our Monday Dylan Cover series. Check out her live version of "Love Minus Zero/No Limit".
Thoughts on Cover:
A very 90's alt-rock-folk take on the tune sung as a duet, marching forward into the unknown with electric/acoustic guitar strums, drums and a protest spirit.
