The stuff Dylan doesn't release would put most artists to shame

[carolines]

This is my father's favorite Dylan song. He told me to take a listen and I'm sure glad I did 💕

[WhenAllsSaidnDone]

Holy smokes this is off-the-scale magnificent. Thank you for your thoughtfulness in 2013! Still making peeps happy in 2024

And you know, no one can sing the blues, like our old Zimmy will...a vastly underrated masterpiece.

I saw Dylan and Knopfler in concert together. Rare event. Truly memorable.

Seen the arrow on the doorpost
Saying, “This land is condemned
All the way from New Orleans
To Jerusalem”
I traveled through East Texas
Where many martyrs fell
And I know no one can sing the blues
Like Blind Willie McTell

Well, I heard that hoot owl singing
As they were taking down the tents
The stars above the barren trees
Were his only audience
Them charcoal gypsy maidens
Can strut their feathers well
But nobody can sing the blues
Like Blind Willie McTell

See them big plantations burning
Hear the cracking of the whips
Smell that sweet magnolia blooming
See the ghosts of slavery ships
I can hear them tribes a-moaning
Hear that undertaker’s bell
Nobody can sing the blues
Like Blind Willie McTell

There’s a woman by the river
With some fine young handsome man
He’s dressed up like a squire
Bootlegged whiskey in his hand
There’s a chain gang on the highway
I can hear them rebels yell
And I know no one can sing the blues
Like Blind Willie McTell

Well, God is in His heaven
And we all want what’s his
But power and greed and corruptible seed
Seem to be all that there is
I’m gazing out the window
Of the St. James Hotel
And I know no one can sing the blues
Like Blind Willie McTell

yeah, What a Song, a Masterpiece that stand along with his long record of time..

[leeannhansen]

This is one of Dylan's finest songs, IMO, and not well known. A wonderful recording.

[johansterk]

This version is just as good as the acoustic one featuring Mark Knopfler on guitar, for the slide guitar on this version is played by Mick Taylor, credit where it's due. It's such a gem, I cannot stop listening. The lyrics, the atmosphere, it's a timeless gem.

[johansterk]

Any singer-songwriter worth his/her salt would have sacrificed his/her right arm to be able to write such a masterpiece!! Haunting, mesmerising and all that stuff.

[AngMoKio]

Wow... My favorite Dylan song for so many years and I never heard this great version.

[otee]

Oh that where would the world be without it! Grand!.. Hounting the Blues🌺 I smell the magnolia🌹🌺🌷🌻🌞
Thanks so much Mark and Dylan🌺❤️🌹

[biancapickett]

unbelievably good. There is a slower piano only version, And they say Bob can't sing? No-one could sing this amazing song better

[dombrunelli]

Who can write the lyrics like Bob Dylan? Nobody!

[johnmeza]

One very mystical song listen to the story bobs telling if you dont feel this song your DEAD!!!! Im sorry but this is a great time to be on this earth with him!!!!

[SusanWF]

A match made in heaven...that voice and that guitar...I'd recognize both anywhere.

[detweilcny]

One of my favorite Dylan songs. The Band did a great cover but Dylan gives me chills.

[derekbone]

I've heard a handful versions of this track .this by far the best of them..

[fisherman]

So strange that there are some thumbs down! Blinder than Willie Mc Tell!

[AmitAbhijit]

This is an amazing piece! Bob Dylan you are Greatest
