Yesterday I posted a live recording of Leon Russell singing “Girl From the North Country” and it got me in the mood to hear more of Leon Russell singing Dylan.

So here’s a live cover of “It Takes a Lot To Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry” from an L.A. show in 1971.

Absolutely LOVE Leon. I was very happy when he toured with Bob on some gigs a couple of years ago.
