Dylan Cover #677 My Morning Jacket "The Man in Me"

In this ongoing Monday Series we will be exploring various artists versions of Bob Dylan song's. Today's artists, My Morning Jacket performing a live cover of "The Man In Me" 


All April (and the first week of May) RtBE focuses our Monday Dylan Cover Series on artists who are playing this years New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. Today is My Morning Jacket who will be playing the festival Sunday May 4th

Thoughts on Original:
From the first time we tackled a cover of this tune:
Almost a forgotten throw away track from Bob, which proves how great he really is, this peach of a song originally appeared on New Morning. The famous La-la-la's are so unlike Bob it instantly stands out as unique in his back catalog. "The Man In Me" is playful, loving, sincere yet deceptive. It took on an added life after showing up in the cult classic The Big Lebowski and now has a whole new generation digging its quirky sounds.

Thoughts on Cover Artist:
RtBE digs MMJ, and have reviewed/featured them on the site many times

Thoughts on Cover:
A straight-ahead acoustic live cover with nice backing vocals, that finds Jim James' voice soaring. Pleasant way to start the week.
