Thoughts on Original:
From the first time we tackled a cover of this tune:
A excellent Dylan tune from any era but one that in particular screamed "I'm Still Alive And Kickin'!" on Time Out Of Mind at a phase when Dylan was simply an after thought on the current popular music scene. One of Dylan's most haunting tracks; it is hard not to feel his emotions and finality of the coming darkness as Dylan sings this lyric set. An all-time great that is mysterious, foreboding, honest and powerful. First class Bob.

Thoughts on Cover Artist:
This is the first time RtBE has encountered Rasmus Söderberg a Stockholm Sweden based singer songwriter.
Thoughts on Cover:
An excellent rendition that has passionate singing strong playing and while the tune is a downer all around, Söderberg injects it with a touch of hope, which does work. Great cover.
