In this ongoing Monday Series we will be exploring various artists versions of Bob Dylan song's. Today's artists, The Yardbirds doing a cover of "Most Likely You Go Your Way And I'll Go Mine"
It's that thin, that wild mercury sound. It's metallic and bright gold, with whatever that conjures up. Those are the phrases that Dylan himself used to describe the sound that he wanted on Blonde on Blonde. Safe to say he got it and perhaps never more so than on "Most Likely You Go Your Way And I'll Go Mine". That whirling organ that sounds like it may actually take flight, the tempo, the cutting lyric, man this song is a joy. We actually got to see him open a show way back with this one and it was a hoot, not as good as the original, but a gem to see live and hear anytime.
The closest I ever got to the sound I hear in my mind was on individual bands in the Blonde on Blonde album. It's that thin, that wild mercury sound. It's metallic and bright gold, with whatever that conjures up.

Thoughts on Cover Artist:
We dip into 60's rock and roll for this cover with a spry Yardbird lineup. They were never our favorites from the era but their talent is undeniable.
Thoughts on Cover:
Wow this is a fun super fast version of the tune. It teeters on the edge of falling apart like the best garage rock does. A really dynamite cover to kick off this week.
