THANKS TO mAGGIE'S bd DESK'S POSTING IT, IM IN THE MIDST OF ONE OF THOSE FOGGY-MINDED BREAKDOWNS

ohhhhhh, do i haaaate capslock

where the thitherto half-forgotten mid-90s cut from "Time out of Mind" hit me upside the head with the enchanted baseball bat and the ensuing fugue state is the energizer bunny earworm who wants three hots and a cot every day the breakdown is brokedown.

Bob's best studio Not Dark Yet

plus these three covers (i listened to all i could find, these are standing out in the field):

(beautifully rendered & remarkably gutsy dylanesque-voiced by Robyn Hitchcock accompanied by Zeppelin's John Paul Jones)

Tanja Maritsa angelic soprano lights the lyrics and girls the song into a new place, sad the more for the very loveliness.

Severa Gjurin --another young east European (guessing that by names and spellings) woman, also knows how to cast the spell of this song. This one is especially savvy in the instrumental arrangement --repeating the tones until your face surrenders and gets the throat lump and wet eyes.

all four of 'em instantly recognized as the same song, but each metamorphosed to a very unusual degree by the singer's art it pulls up out of the performer.

I guess that's why he's Bob Dylan.
