FIRST SHOW: Watching The Covers Flow - Dylan's Empire Burlesque

Listen to the new Ray Padgett Podcast on Dylan Cover Songs
5

This is the first episode of Watching The Cover Flow a podcast that dives deep into covers of, and by, the most covered songwriter in rock and roll: Bob Dylan.

Empire Burlesque gets a lot of grief from Dylan fans for its oh-so-'80s production. Can the songs be redeemed when delivered in other styles by other artists?

Songs covered include:

  • Tight Connection To My Heart (Jon Carrol & Love Returns)

  • Seeing The Real You At Last (Betty LaVette)

  • I’ll Remember You (Amy LaVere)

  • Clean Cut Kid (Carla Olson)

  • Never Gonna Be The Same Again (Ron Sexsmith)

  • Trust Yourself (Carlene Carter)

  • Emotionally Yours (The O’Jays)

  • When The Night Comes Falling From The Sky (Lucius)

  • Something’s Burning Baby (Scott B. Sympathy)

  • Dark Eyes (Iron & Wine / Calexico)
