Bob’s Birthday Bash II – Part 2

Every artistic movement has its watershed moments and for rock music there were two biggies that occurred just months apart in 1965: the release of the Byrds’ version of Bob Dylan’s “Mr. Tambourine Man” followed a few months later by Dylan’s own “Like a Rolling Stone”. Simply put, these two songs blew minds and broke new ground for rock- mostly thanks to Dylan’s lyrics- and influenced every rock song and band that came after them. Here are some more of my favorite Bob Dylan covers (and one song co-written with his fellow Traveling Wilbury, Tom Petty). Happy Birthday, Bob! Enjoy!
