Song challenge day 13_

A song from the 70s you like

Ok. This one is cheatin', and I absolutely do not mean any disrespect to the big Bob.

It's just... 70s for me is either choosing a punk song or Joy Division. The former is to easy, and Joy Division were ahead of their time, they WERE the vanguard of the 80s.

So, Bob Dylan it basically is for me because I simply do not like most of the 70s stuff.

But then, this is a recent cover version of the actual track. It was made for the Dylan biopic, I believe. It is cheatin', and it kinda isn`t? What it is, though, is a collaboration between the singer of My Morning Jacket, friggin' Calexico and ultimately a beautiful, simple song with the kind of brilliant songwriting Dylan is known for.

It's awesome, and if you don't like it: I respect your opinion but your opinion is wrong. It is as easy as that.

(posting this song now also eliminates one of the choices for favourite cover version coming up later in the song challenge)
