The newest offering from the legendary George Porter Jr.and Runnin' Pardners is a breezy nine song album of instrumentals that bump and shimmy. Porter's Pocket feels easy and natural, as if the band just started jamming and hit record.
In this ongoing Monday Series we will be exploring various artists versions of Bob Dylan song's. Today's it is Sophie Zelmani performing a live cover of "Most of the Time"
Thoughts on Dylan Original From our first cover take on this tune: One of the best songs in Dylan's repertoire from any of his era's and also one of the most important, "Most Of The Time" proved Dylan was far from done as an artist. Showing up on the return to form album Oh Mercy, "Most Of The Time" is a revelation with it's descending bass line and powerfully stark lyrics. There is a palpable sense of desperation, longing, sadness, a nervous sense of things are falling apart around singer; this tune touches a nerve and makes you stand up and take notice.

Thoughts on Cover Artist: This is the first time we have heard Sophie Zelmani who is a Swedish singer-songwriter
Thoughts on Cover:
A very cool understated cover that switches genders and works with Zelmani's quite vocals and subdued style.
