Subject: Wild Horses (was: Re: [RS] Richard covers Dave.)

About ten years ago RS mentioned that hearing the all-star bluegrass 
band and eponymous album, Old & In The Way, saved him from a life of 
listening to prog rock.  He said this by way of introducing a cover from 
that record.  I know it wasn't Wild Horses but I forget which tune he 
did -- maybe one of the Peter Rowan tunes?  I bet he's played every cut tho.

............Oh, you call THAT mainstream????  :-)  As the kids would say,
"My bad!"

And I blew it on Senor (Tales of Yankee Power).  But Dylan is SO prolific, I
let myself off on that one.  Also IMHO Dylan falls into the Randy
Newman/Warren Zevon/John Prine/Tom Waits school of songwriters.  Their pens
are much mightier than their voices and often it is the covers of their
tunes that see daylight instead of the originals.

Three people heard Waits' "Downtown Train" until Rod Stewart covered it.
(Ron, I hear you wretching all the way down here in Florida <g>!!)   Of
course, that was back when Rod could do a cover.  I won't defend any of his
21st Century releases.  Sigh.

I heard him tell that story as an introduction to "The Hobo Song," from that record.


In addition to the covers he's officially released on his own?CDs or with Cry Cry Cry, he sure has covered some great (and varied) stuff.

Here's just a short list of some of the songs I've heard him do:

Love Hurts (Felice and Boudleaux Bryant)
Four Green Fields (Tommy Makem)
Sin City (Gram Parsons/Chris Hillman)
Louisiana 1927 (Randy Newman)
Friend of the Devil (Grateful Dead)
Making Plans (Dolly Parton)
Once in a Very Blue Moon (Patrick Alger)
I Got Mine (Roy Bookbinder)
Bleecker Street (Paul Simon)
America (Paul Simon)
Farewelll to Saint Dolores (Dave Carter)
Famous Blue Raincoat (Leonard Cohen)
Hard Times Come Again No More (Stephen Foster)
Banks of the Pontchartrain (Traditional)
Paddys Green Shamrock Shore (Traditional)

Feel free to add to the list.

Oh, I forgot "Making Plans"!!  That was soooooo good and as I recall
he included a rather witty intro before it was played.

Oh, I love Dolly Parton! I didn't know he covered her. My favorite covers are Paul Simon's America and Leonard Cohen's Famous Blue Raincoat.

A Good Year for the Roses (by Jerry Chesnut). 

Heard him do it at McCabe's in Santa Monica a few years back. Also recorded by George Jones, Elvis Costello, etc.
