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 the Bonker Brothers playing "When The Ship Comes In"

Thoughts on Original: From the first time we tackled a cover of this tune:
One of our favorite songs from the early days of Dylan. The purest Irish Folk we felt he ever got, Joan Baez was a fan of this one and told a cool story during No Direction Home, about him being pissed at a hotel attendant and then having this song just spiral out of him. Images of the sea, the salt, the song, raiding/pillaging; a pirate song at heart. When we are looking for pure folk Dylan this one usually finds it's way to our ears.

Thoughts on Cover Artist:
This is RtBE's first time hearing the Bonker Brothers and there is not much online about them.
Thoughts on Cover:
A cover played with the quickness and as we have highlighted before, it has a Gaelic vibe that really works well with this song. A great pub tune played by this mysterious bunch of players.
