In this ongoing Monday Series we will be exploring various artists versions of Bob Dylan song's. Today's tune is a cover by Andy Hill & Renee Safier 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 Andy and Renee but it probably won't be the last as these Los Angeles based artists are big Bob Dylan fans.
Thoughts on Cover:
A fun duet that gets shifts gears midway through into country twang with different guitars and harmonica, expanding the scope of the song. A cool cover.
