In this ongoing Monday Series we will be exploring various artists versions of Bob Dylan song's. Today's artist is Cæcilie Norby performing a cover of "Like A Rolling Stone"
From the first time we tackled a cover:
The song that launched a true revolution, with an opening snare drum like a dead man's last pistol shot baby. "Like A Rolling Stone" is mega in all fashions, Dylan is accusatory, mad, feed up, zoned out, poetic, rambling and always moving with the sound as the track is large and in charge even today. One of the Bard's top 3 songs any which way you break them down, "Like A Rolling Stone" has been covered by a ton of people and it (usually) always kicks ass.

Thoughts on Cover Artist:
This is the first time we have heard Cæcilie Norby who is a Danish jazz singer. Also playing on this track is Bass, Cello, Lars Danielsson Piano, Leszek Możdżer , Electric Guitar: Nguyên Lê.
Thoughts on Cover:
A unique version, miles away from the original, that has a lot of instrumentation and cuts out lots of verses and choruses. A unique, breezy cover and a fun addition to Jazzy January.
