As Jimi does wonders with Watchtower, to the point where even Bob says that version is "the" version, Johnny Winter takes this song and makes it his own For amazing slide guitar work, and howling vocals, check out the version on "Second Winter".

I've read all your posts in the past few days, and plan to keep on reading.<BR/><BR/>Love the detail you've given to my favorites, such as "Mr. Tambourine Man", "It's Alright Ma", "The Times They Are a-Changin'", and "Ballad of a Thin Man." So much good stuff out there. <BR/><BR/>"Highway 61 Revisted" almost feels funny to me, though in a good way. It's weird to think of a lyric genius being so funny, like in "Bob Dylan 115th Dream". It makes him an even better lyricist, I guess, because he pulls it off so well. <BR/><BR/>TJAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448601238585270507.post-7749815594550719442008-12-07T20:12:00.000-08:002008-12-07T20:12:00.000-08:00I like the pause in the lyrics after he says "And ...I like the pause in the lyrics after he says "And Louie the King said let me think for a minute son" as if it is part of the speech of Louie.Nicolás Pérez Arcehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17683146258409404712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448601238585270507.post-41538662736965184992008-12-07T18:40:00.000-08:002008-12-07T18:40:00.000-08:00i wonder how many Hwy 61 road signs have been stol...i wonder how many Hwy 61 road signs have been stolen because of this song? more than Abbey Road, less?<BR/><BR/>i love Bob's delivery with this song--he sounds so delighted with his own genius, and for the moment, he's just enjoying the hell out of it.rob!https://www.blogger.com/profile/17556471244882205031noreply@blogger.com
