Mark Ronson has done a "re-version" of Bob Dylans Most Likely You'll Go Your Way, from Blonde On Blonde, The Dap Kings are all screeching horns instead of the ubiquitous Dylan Mouth Organ, it's pretty cool, although I think he may be in danger of completely overkilling on his style. Anyway, Kudos for taking the risk Mr. Ronson, there is a natural blues link between the Dap Kings and Blonde on Blonde so I think it actually works quite well.
It's all part of a DEFINITIVE BOB DYLAN RETROSPECTIVE set for release on Oct 1st. In terms of marketing Dylan for a new generation it looks like a neat package. Its called DYLAN and the tag line is Everything Except Compromise! (wow) The 3 CD set, 51 track "definitive collection" of Dylan tracks spanning 5 decades will be released concurrently with an "18 Song Best Of Collection" (no less definitive one imagines?)
One thing I will say is Dylan sounds a lot punchier on the re version than he does on my copy of Blonde On Blonde.

I don't know...I think that his version of "Stop Me.." was pretty awful.
Basically what he's doing nowadays is a critically acceptable version of those people who do dance versions of Journey.
At least his first album was somewhat original.
feel free to use the line!
i'll be expecting a big juicy plug for the blog live on air in return though!
