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 Jeremy Fisher playing "Seven Curses"
Thoughts on Original:
From the first time we tackled a cover of this tune
An early tune from Dylan that lives and embodies the European folk song tradition as breathed through his lungs. The distrust of authority, the bleakness/unfairness of life, the anger and retribution all feel so natural. Dylan's harshness here seems connected to "Masters of War" as the pain and suffering flows through the end of the bitter tale.
Also this is a great read about the song.

Thoughts on Cover Artist:
This is the first time RtBE has come across Jeremy Fisher who is a Canadian singer and guitar teacher. He has a lot of videos where he teaches Bob Dylan songs that are worth checking out if you want to play some of these tunes.

Thoughts on Cover:
A fairly straight ahead live acoustic cover that dos a proper job of telling the story through song and conveying the harsh emotions. Good cover.
