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 Sheryl Crow & Bonnie Raitt playing "Everything is Broken"

From the first time we tackled a cover of this tune:
If Bob wasn't the Bard "Everything Is Broken" would just be another tossed off song. However, is anything with Dylan just simply tossed off? Well..yeah...this song certainly feels tossed off to me...sorry. Oh Mercy is a hell of an album, one of Dylan's classics, and this song is fine, it just can't even stand close to any of his all-time gems, not remotely close. One of the reasons I started this cover series was to show how amazing The Bard's songs are in just about anyone's hands, but if the original of this tune was written by Joe Schmo would people think it was great, or is it just the Dylan name that gives it clout?

Thoughts on Cover Artist:
RtBE enjoy both artists and have seen both (I think) at Jazzfest over the years.
Thoughts on Cover:
The duo miss a few lyrics but it doesn't matter as they rock out hard with the band. Crow's harmonica is pretty spot on as well as the blues get motoring this Monday morning with a live wire rendition of this tune.
