In this ongoing Monday Series we will be exploring various artists versions of Bob Dylan song's. Today's artists, Love Minus Zero & Friends doing a live cover of "Most Likely You Go Your Way And I'll Go Mine"
Thoughts on Original:From the first time we tackled a cover of this song:
It's that thin, that wild mercury sound. It's metallic and bright gold, with whatever that conjures up. Those are the phrases that Dylan himself used to describe the sound that he wanted on Blonde on Blonde. Safe to say he got it and perhaps never more so than on "Most Likely You Go Your Way And I'll Go Mine". That whirling organ that sounds like it may actually take flight, the tempo, the cutting lyric, hot damn this song is a joy. RtBE actually got to see him open a show way back with this one and it was a hoot, not as good as the original, but a gem to see live and hear anytime.
The closest I ever got to the sound I hear in my mind was on individual bands in the Blonde on Blonde album. It's that thin, that wild mercury sound. It's metallic and bright gold, with whatever that conjures up.Cover:

Love Minus Zero & Friends Play Dylan with a great rendition of Bob Dylan's "Most Likely You Go Your Way (And I'll Go Mine)" with Michael Davis singing lead vocal. "Most Likely You Go Your Way (And I'll Go Mine)" is the first track of the second disc of the 1966 album Blonde on Blonde. In this video is Michael Davis also of the Bullets, Betty and the Bullets, and Origami For Addicts (guitar, vocals), David Poland (fiddle), Steve Hobson also of The Porch Chops and Sin City Band (guitar), Jim Ficca (drums), Scott Birney also of Sin City Band (guitar), Dave Berry (keyboard), Tony Cappella (bass). — at World Cafe Live at The Queen - May 11, 2012.Thoughts on Cover:
A more folk rock rendition of the tune with acousitc guitars, violin and country picking. Strong lead vocals to start and some piano but not the organ work the tune is known for, which is perfectly fine. A cool hoedown focused take on the tune, different, and a fun live time.
