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 Jeremy Mayle 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 that is ripe for covering.

Thoughts on Cover Artist:
We featured Jeremy Mayle, a folk singer from Parkersburg, West Virginia once before in our Monday cover series, and yes Jeremy, we were giving you props.
Thoughts on Cover:
A very cool take on this tune that Mayle kicks up in exciting, solo acoustic, fashion. While the original was a slow meditative take on love, loss and life, Mayle delivers the song at wits end, frantic and disturbed. An excellent rendition of a malleable Dylan tune that feels unique as Mayle sings with gusto and soul.
