Thoughts on Original:
From our first time tackling a cover of this song:
An absolutely crushing anti-war song, that is a monster from Dylan and should be more famous. While "Masters of War" breakdown the war machine, "John Brown" addresses the human toll expertly. Musically it takes from the folk tradition, as lots of Dylan's early tunes do, but lyrical it expands upon the topic with passion and pain. A chilling tale of hurt and the cost of war, "John Brown" is an all-time great Dylan tune.

Thoughts on Cover Artist:
This is the first time RtBE has heard of Adam Jarrett before.
Thoughts on Cover:
The acoustic cover is straight ahead with anger and venom coming through singing these tough words. Solid cover.
