Thoughts on Cover:
Arriving just after "Idiot Wind" the breezy "You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go" acts as a breather on Blood on the Tracks, but on it's own it is a gorgeous little number. A poetic love song that feels fresh every time it slips into the ear as the protagonist is in a world of bliss and doesn't want it to end, but knows it always will. Miles away from "Idiot Wind", but just as vital, showing off Dylan's easy charm and flowing word play/vocal style, I mean how cool is the "I’ll look for you in old Honolulu San Francisco or Ashtabula" run through?

Thoughts on Cover Artist:
The Los Angeles based duo Elle and Toni are indie folk musicians who write and cover americana, folk, traditional folk, and folk rock music
Thoughts on Cover:
Another gorgeous live acoustic cover. December has been full of them on RtBE. Top notch vocals, guitar playing, harmonizing, this is a great Dylan cover. Breezy yet still affecting. Very enjoyable.
