Dylan Cover #644 Bolt Hill Band "Tangled Up In Blue" 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 Bolt Hill Band performing "Tangled Up In Blue" 

Thoughts on Original:
From the first time we tackled a cover of this track:
Wow. The song that never ends, the tune that might just best sum up Dylan, if that is remotely possible. Dylan constantly toyed with this song (check out the Rolling Thunder and Real Live version's if you haven't yet) and even he knows it can't stay stagnant in one form for long, so covering it is a good bet.  Needless to say it is in the top 5 greatest songs he ever wrote if we were ranking them...hmm.

Thoughts on Cover Artist:
RtBE have never come across the Bolt Hill Band before, they are a bluegrass band from New England. 

Thoughts on Cover:

The bluegrass twist is a nice touch, but this song is so great, any version would be pleasurable. That said, this is well done, with slight tempo shifts, solid singing and excellent musicianship.
