Bob Dylan's "Blowin' In the Wind" has been covered by hundreds of artists and is probably most remembered as an anthem for the 60s civil rights movement. Sam Cooke used to sing it live and wrote "A Change Is Gonna Come" as a response to it.
This mix from four years ago has three live versions by Dylan, another late period studio snippet from a rehearsal session as well as covers by Odetta, Stevie Wonder, Bobby Bare and Marlene Dietrich singing in German.
Also repeating on this mix: Roy Orbison's "Blue Bayou", the original and the hit cover by Linda Ronstadt.
Other stuff: a live version of "Thunder Road" by Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band, Terry Reid's frenzied "Bang Bang", Donovan's chipper "There Is A Mountain", Barbara Acklin's sweet "Am I The Same Girl", the "dance" version of "Miss You" by The Rolling Stones, Ol' Dirty Bastard's profane "Pussy Keep Calling", Carol Douglas' bubbly "Doctor's Orders", the dramatic "Here Comes The Rain Again" by The Eurythmics, GZA's fierce "4th Chamber" and the peaceful "I'm Set Free" by The Velvet Underground.
