October 14, 201014 yr Bob Dylan is one of the best lyricists and artists of our time and this is a great song both the original and the cover. But Alas, Hendrix prevails.Original: 8Cover: 9.2Original x1Cover x4
October 15, 201014 yr ^Ah, I figured as much. This song was actually from a really interesting album released a few years ago called No Man's Woman, which features a bunch of Australian male artists covering songs originally perfomed by females. There's some pretty cool stuff on there.. you might like it If it's on Spotify I'll be sure to give it a go. Original 8 Cover 9 Dylan x2 Hendrix x3

October 18, 201014 yr Author If it's on Spotify I'll be sure to give it a go. Hmm, that Spotify looks pretty awesome. Not available in Australia yet though Oh, I didn't know that. Is it going to be? I hope so.. seems they're trying to expand it. Right now it's only available in Finland, France, Norway, Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom. To us, music is everything. Our dream is to have all the music in the world available instantly to everyone, wherever they are.But for the time being, we’re not able to launch in every country. We’re really sorry about this, but it takes time to arrange licensing agreements with record labels and local publishing rights societies. Rest assured we’re doing everything we can to resolve this, and hope to offer Spotify in many more countries as soon as possible.
