Dylan Cover #673 Van Morrison-"Just Like A Woman" Live

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 Van Morrison playing "Just Like A Woman"

Thoughts on Original:

From the first time we covered a cover of this song:

There are a lot of songs about the greatest muse known to man, woman. This one may top the 60's generation when it comes to dealing with Mars and Venus. Respectful in one breath and slightly mocking the next, Dylan can sense the pain, and I think there is a clear honesty in those words. Well maybe "clear" is the wrong term to use, nothing is ever clear with this subject matter. Treating the topic honestly Dylan tackles the differences between the sexes and the difficulties of relationships. Bob nailed this one making it one of his all-time greats.

Thoughts on Cover Artist:
Van Morrison has some amazing albums and some not so amazing. RtBE are big fans of the era of Morrison that this song was recorded during. 

Thoughts on Cover:

A slowed down dramatic live rendition that works with Broadway like hits and builds. Van the man always loved the drama. RtBE also had to pick an Irishman to cover Dylan today. Happy St. Patrick's Day.
