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 Bjørn & Henrik playing "Sweetheart Like You"

From the first time we tackled a cover of this song:
All of the songs on Infidels stuck around to long in the Bards brain (which we talked about before). While "Jokerman" overwhelms as a rambling waterfall of a song the first time you hear it, "Sweetheart Like You" is clear evidence of that fact that things were left to simmer on the stove longer then needed. It is a mix of condescension, sexy, sexist, insecure and scattered. In fact those things make for an amazing Dylan tune, but in this case I don't feel it really adds up to a classic or much of a very good song at all.

Thoughts on Cover Artist:
This is our first time coming across Bjørn Sigshøj & Henrik Kristensen.
Thoughts on Cover:
A live cover that is a bit shaky, but interesting with just a warbling electric guitar and vocals with a harmonica showing up later. Unique for sure.
It needs to be mentioned that with the USA's current political climate (and we will see how it shakes out tomorrow), more than ever this couplet from the song hits home:
