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 The Isley Brothers playing "Lay Lady Lay"
All April RtBE focuses our Monday Dylan Cover Series on artists who are playing this years New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. Today is The Isley Brothers who played the festival Sunday April 26th
Thoughts on Original:
From the first time we addressed a cover of this tune:
Excellent track and the first time the world heard Dylan's new singing style, which would only last for Nashville Skyline. This song is the standout track from this album, it is a classic and so simple, yet sweet and timeless. One of Dylan's best tracks, this phase was the the closest to "country" he ever got and "Lay Lady Lay" is an overall fantastic piece of music.

Thoughts on Cover Artist:
RtBE has always dug the Isley Brothers.
Thoughts on Cover:
This easy flowing getting down vibe is all sexed up by The Isley's during this live cover from The Isley's Live record. Recorded at The Bitter End in NYC, the small club must have been in awe of this version.
Warm percussion, piano, guitars and especially vocals, this is a dynamite version, and another reason why we continue this series.
