Video: Bob Dylan Performs ‘House of the Rising Sun’ – April 12, 2007 – Newcastle, England

Dylan in Newcastle, 2007.

Bob Dylan performed “House of the Rising Sun,” a song off his debut album that he didn’t write, at the Metro Radio Arena in Newcastle, England on April 12, 2007.

It was a tribute of sorts to The Animals who had a huge hit with their electric version of the song and who came from Newcastle.

[In August of this year I’ll be publishing my rock ‘n’ roll/ coming-of-age novel, “True Love Scars,” which features a narrator who is obsessed with Bob Dylan. To read the first chapter, head here.

Or watch an arty video with audio of me reading from the novel here.

Audio: Many Versions of Bob Dylan’s ‘It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue’ – Dylan, The Byrds, Them, Echo & The Bunnymen, Joan Baez & More

An obscure British band that covered Dylan’s masterpiece in 1965.

One of Dylan’s many incredible songs is “It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue.”

Unlike “Fourth Time Around,” which I posted about the other day and which had few covers, many, many artists have covered “It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue.” The Byrds even covered it twice.

Below are some pretty incredible versions of the song including both of those versions by The Byrds.
