Genre: Rock & Roll, Country, Folk
Lyrics: @ lyrics.time
This has got to be one of my most favorite covers ever, if not just my flat out favorite. Of course this is originally a song by Bob Dylan released in 1963 on his album The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan.
I know a ton of people who cringe at just the thought of Mike Ness "butchering" a Bob Dylan classic. Whatever. I think he did a fantastic job.
This was a song I'd listen to after a break-up here and there and yet, I never get sad listening to it. The good times I've had with this song far outweigh the bad. Besides, this is not a "sad song" by nature. It's... "empowering". Ugh, I hate that word, empowering. Empowerment. It sounds so cheesy.
Regardless, if you've never heard this song, or its original, you owe it to yourself to do so.
