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 Big Al and the Brothers of the Blues playing "Million Miles"
From the first time we tackled a cover of this tune:
From the barren blues of Time Out Of Mind comes "Million Miles". While not a standout on that album, the song was prophetic, hinting at the fantastic twelve bar blues variations that would dominate Dylan's next two releases. When first heard though it doesn't jump out, just feels like yet ANOTHER solid track from the bard and is ripe for covering.

Thoughts on Cover Artist:
This is the first time we are checking out Big Al and the Brothers of the Blues who are a Michigan based blues trio.
Thoughts on Cover:
Yet another reason why we continue this series, this cover kicks ass! The trio strip "Million Miles" down to raw blues essence. Singing with gorgeous passion, playing mean guitar, and keeping a engaged low end; this is a dynamite live version all around.
