Hi friends,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first time I heard, “Mr. Tambourine Man” by The Byrds, I’m telling you I was hooked. I think I was around the age 12 and was newly discovering other artists as I first got “accidentally<\/em>” hook on The Beatles at age 10 (you can read all about that story here<\/a>). I was also teaching myself guitar around this time and was determined to learn McGuinn\u2019s 12-string riff even if it took me hours (and I did – until my fingers felt like they’d fall off). <\/p>\n\n\n\n But soon to my surprise (as I was the type of girl who needed to Google and learn all about a person), I soon realized that “Mr. Tambourine Man” belonged to Bob Dylan, along with many of other of my favorite folk songs sung by all my favorite artists and groups. Listen, I know half of you are shocked thinking, “Maddie?! How did you not know?!<\/em>” Listen, the thing was, as I entered into the world of 60’s, classic rock music in my pre-teens, I discovered I wasn’t the biggest fan of Bob Dylan, or let me say, that he didn’t really grow on me til much later (Classic Rock lovers, please, spare me!). <\/p>\n\n\n\n I truly love Dylan’s poetic lyrics along with his some-what enchanting and catchy melodies (his voice continues to grow on me). Honestly, Bob Dylan reminds me of the fall; orange & red leaves on the trees, a slight breeze in the air, and the smell of Apple Cinnamon (Like the Air Wick wall plug in<\/a> fresheners?!) That’s what his music reminds me of! <\/p>\n\n\n\n Anyways, Today I wanted to share with you all my favorite<\/em><\/strong> Bob Dylan covers and see if we happen to share any favorites! <\/p>\n\n\n\n 10. “The Times They Are A-Changin'” – Simon & Garfunkel<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Not only are they in the Top 3 of my “Favorite Artists” but their album “Wednesday Morning 3 AM” is one of my all-time favorites. Their cover of Dylan’s “The Times They Are A-Changin'” is a truly classic with it’s classic folky-sounding vibe to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
