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 Todd Snider playing "The Man In Me"
Thoughts on Original:
From the first time we tackled a cover of this tune:
Almost a forgotten throw away track from Bob, which proves how great he really is, this peach of a song originally appeared on New Morning. The famous La-la-la's are so unlike Bob it instantly stands out as unique in his back catalog. "The Man In Me" is playful, loving, sincere yet deceptive. It took on an added life after showing up in the cult classic The Big Lebowski and now has a whole new generation digging its quirky sounds.

Thoughts on Cover Artist:
RtBE did a special focus on Todd Snider covering Dylan back in December for a month, but we didn't get to this full band live gem. So it enters the Dylan Cover Series now instead.
Thoughts on Cover:
A shaggy, rollicking full band cover from Snider and crew that is a bit wooly and unkept. Strong vocals, guitar bass and drum. A fun ramble through a fun tune.
