There are lots of great Dylan covers out there, and this is one of my favorites. Got to hear it in person in back in 2001.
A dramatic segway from Bob's version. Now I can imagine people are thinking I'm being disrespectful and that is not the case. It's just different. Richard Betts has thrilled us with his music and style for a whole lot of years. I do believe this tune is one we should embrace.
I bought "Let's All Get Together" in 2001 and enjoyed it but the Collectors album the next year is one of Dickey's greatest solo albums. It should have had a major label release. And Tangled Up In Blue is wonderful.
Dickey Betts is a great treasure for anyone who is a fan of the Allman Brothers.

I think the best Dylan covers depart dramatically from his versions. Nothing against Dylan’s own recordings, just that his often skeletal arrangements provides a clean slate for other artists to build upon and interpret.
Actually I really like Bob's original. It is real nice. Of course when someone with the press asked Bob about Jimi's cover he said " Oh that is Jimi's song! I only wrote it".
This one is the best one! Do you think ?
If you like covers of Bob Dylan songs be sure to check out ... BOB DYLAN! His voice has certainly changed over the years and he performs re-worked versions of his classic tunes - often in entirely new keys.
Though it probably resonated more with the die-hard Dylan fans (like myself) - you should (or should have) check(ed) out the recent "Shadow Kingdom" webcast. This was not a live concert (as many thought it might be), but was a "staged" performance on a studio set that resembled something between an old western saloon and a Paris nightclub. If you DO like Bob Dylan - this was just mesmerizing!
I'm amazed that I've never heard Dickey's version on Sirius Deep Tracks.
Doesn't mean that they haven't played it, however.
