In this ongoing Monday Series we will be exploring various artists versions of Bob Dylan song's. Today's tune comes from the Jerry Garcia 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:
RtBE's are huge fans of Mr. Garcia, but not always huge fans of his solo Jerry Garcia Band outings...which....can...get....very....slow...some...times.
Thoughts on Cover:
There is no doubt that this version is super slow/sleepy and while in the past we would probably skip it, there is no denying the beauty in Garcia taking his time with this one. Today it works for us, other days it hasn't, but if you are in the mood for a relaxed, majestic Dylan cover, cue it up.
