In this ongoing Monday Series we will be exploring various artists versions of Bob Dylan song's. Today's tune comes from the Levon Helm Band and is a live cover of "Simple Twist of Fate"
Thoughts On Original:
From the first time we talked about a cover version of this song:
Well the classics just keep coming in this series, now here is "Simple Twist of Fate" what a gem of a song. Impeccable lyrics, gorgeous phrasing, just a great great song that is hard not to enjoy even if people are not fans of Dylan.

Thoughts on Cover Artist:
Love Levon and company. We caught them live a bunch when Levon came back out after cancer and think he is an all-time great.
Thoughts on Cover:
A cool, slightly different take on Bob, with a slow country waltzing, focused on piano and mandolin before shifting to great horn work as it builds. I am not sure who is singing on this version, if anyone knows feel free to comment below.
