Losing John Prine and now Nanci Griffith within one year is pretty hard to take. RIP to the both of you.

I read where Nancy asked Dylan's permission to cover the song, and Dylan asked to hear it and sent it back with the harmonica part dubbed in and his blessings

Doubt Dylan ever wrote anything more beautiful or had any of his songs better interpreted. This is just stunningly lovely.

I fell in love with Nanci Griffith’s voice at the Newport Folk Festival in 1991, her beautiful, poignant voice will be sorely missed💜

MY FAVORITE VERSION OF THIS SONG. MISS YOU NANCI AND YOUR WONDERFUL VOICE.

RIP Nanci! Her voice is like a little bird that soars high above the clouds, where her spirit lives now~~

What a cover. Nanci has gathered together such a fine band, and she never sounded better. Such an easy relaxed presentation. She is so missed

The 303 Bob Dylan fans who gave this the thumbs down can rest assured that Bob thinks they are ridiculous. Rest easy Nanci. You were a true gem. X And every songle person involved in this performance is as good as any musican will ever be.

Her voice, but Jerry Douglas on Dobro. What a perfect match. He is the greatest ever.

The most beautiful rendition of this song I have ever heard. I play it every day, it never gets boring.

PASSING OF A LEGEND The great, beautiful soul that was Nanci Griffith has flown into the eternal. I fell in love with her when I first saw this video back in 1987. I loved the fragile grace of her voice. I have loved her music ever since. Like many artists, I didn't share her political views (she was very left wing), but she was passionate and articulate with her beliefs. I have no problem with someone's political views (right or left) if they ground them in philosophy, ethics and faith. She was incensed at those who would take advantage of others -- regardless of the reason. She was sometimes filled with righteous anger and still her grace and love for her fellow man bled through in her face and in her words. Rest in peace Ms. Griffith. your music, your spirit will be missed. And yes, there IS a light beyond these woods Ms. Griffith.

Nanci really treated this song by Dylan right. The stars aligned here.

Nanci is one of our true musical treasures.......her songs, her voice, her storytelling, just awesome. This version of Bob Dylan's song is priceless. Love her!

Nanci is in a class almost by herself. I love her songs, her voice, her personality. Jerry Douglas is marvellous here. Beautiful playing

The fact that it was written by a man gave it a lot of its original power. Remember the man was the one left behind. Who else was writing songs like that back then.

Her haunting voice has moved on to the next life at a too early time. One of the great songs from the Transatlantic Sessions. Jerry Douglas’s dobro adds so much. The rest of the players are also so good

As much as I adore Bob, I can listen to this version again and again no matter what mood I'm in and it's never less than lovely. Go Nancy!

A heavenly voice that still brings tears to my eyes every time I hear her.

Easily the best version I've ever heard. Nanci's voice is as bright as silver, and all the instrumentalists are spot on - perfection!

one thing we've got in common, is that we're all different. her voice is so piercing and true. i think danny on bass really carries this track. exquisite

I never heard a better band. Nanci sounds like an angel singing.

Close your eyes and just be THERE... Rest in peace Nanci, Thank you for all the magnific music

Beautiful performance. Everyone is great but Danny Thompson's bass is extra special.

I've been listening to Nanci Griffith since before I could walk, and have always loved her music. As a kid, this was my least favorite of her songs...I found it boring and didn't understand it. But now as an adult, I relate to every word of this song on such a deep level. I can't listen without crying. And now, I see this as her best song.

Nanci Griffith has been keeping me sane since...forever. In chemotherapy a quarter century ago, her music lulled me to sleep every night (on a disc-man--remember those?) in the hospital. When I got home, as the months of chemo ground on, preparing to go to her concert (at Wolf Trap, Virginia) kept me moving ahead. And I went to that concert. I was so thankful to be there (with my boyfriend -- he is my husband now), that I sat in my seat, and wept. Tears of gratitude and joy. Thanks for posting--this is one of my very favorites.

I love her voice. Sort of irish/Southern. My music spans the globe. I would rank her in the top three.

Can't imagine anyone not enjoying hear Nanci sing.

Real musicians playing real music. Bless you all.

Just one of the precious gems from the much missed transatlantic sessions broadcast on the UK BBC4 between 1996 and 2012. How I miss these. Today's pop garbage is a poor poor substitute. Nancy you are the sweetest singer I have ever heard.

Jerry Douglas on Dobro makes that instrument cry like a broken heart.

What's not to like? Worlds greatest dobro player and very original version of Bob Dylan's best song ever.

This is the best cover ever, from one all time favourite albums, heaven is wherever Nancy is.🙂

You'd think they had been playing together for decades. So good together!

Dylan may be great, but this is the best version of this song out there! No other has the combination of Nancy's voice and Jerry's dobro, either one of which I will seek to listen to by itself. Together is just gold, IMO.

Nanci Griffith RIP 13/08/2021 - her voice, this beauty.

Nobody sings Dylan like... ahh who am I kidding? This is great

This is about the best version. Her voice is so poignant and soft. Just spellbinding.

By far, the best version I have ever heard. What a incredible voice.

Beautiful.

Jerry Douglas' dobro shows how wonderful a musician he is.

beautiful song, beautiful beautiful voice, beautiful beautiful beautiful dobro playing

She is not only Texas's brightest star, she is a magnificent guitarist! All rolled up and tied with a silk bow...

Love this version the bass work in this is flawless

I'm sad to say I've only just discovered Nanci via a duet with John Prine. Wow, what a loss they both are, I'm so glad I've discovered her music albeit rather late. RIP

This is one of the most beautiful things on KZfaq and it will haunt my memory forever. Exquisite performances by all involved.

RIP Nanci Griffith, you brought me closer to my heart and God with your soulful voice

Danny Thompson's bass is so essential to the structure of this presentation . His rhythm is flawless . The others are excellent also . GL, Sr

Without a doubt, one of the best renditions of any Dylan song by any artist. One of my top favorites.

Don't feel bad, John. I was brought upright by a souvenir seller in Bar Harbor about 20 years ago who, when I asked, "who's that on the in-house?" She answered with a sneer Nanci Griffith of course. I bought whatever she had on hand and have never looked back. She rarely tours in our area but I was able to catch her on the Vietnam LP tour in South Fl - I'm a vet and it meant a lot to me.

Her voice is like an angel.I will listen for it when I get there.RIP Nancy

A very beautiful , authentic and deserving version of this timeless Dylan song.

Brilliant song

beautiful childlike innocence in this voice .

Godspeed, Nanci. I saw her in Austin, then in San Francisco, then in Austin again. An absolute American icon and a real genre- melder. Cannot believe she has left us.

Heavenly! God Bless! Nancy

JD 's touch just kills on Dobro, this just a beautiful cover of this Dylan tune.

"I didn't think this song could get any better, then I was introduced to this version." I agree.

I remember her on austin city limits when she was a skinny young gun with a guitar and voice to match. Thank you Nanci for the joy you have provided all of us who love your music and your spirit. Folk rock on baby!!!

Mr Dylan has a big 😊 on his face!

I believe every word they say, Nanci and Bob.

Love her gentle voice full of innocence and beauty.

Such a lovely version of this intriguing song.

She is lovely, and the group is great!

So sad she left us. She represented such purity, innocents and the good simpler times in America that sadly are harder to find and unfortunately rare these days. RIP Sweet Angel

Her smile at the end of the song is priceless!

A moment just listening to Nanci, brings peace and a calm, beautiful voice, beautiful Lady, keep singing Nanci.xxxxx

something about Nanci s voice that sounds so immature and childish, pure and beautiful at the same time. Love some of her music.

The sort of voice that sends a shiver up the spine. A wonderful shiver indeed!

A beautiful Beautiful song, sung beautifully by a beautiful artist....thanks

Man, Jerry Douglas is a monster guitarist.

I have loved Nanci for a very long time.....she is fabulous!

This is chillingly good. The song's brilliance is in its simplicity and Nanci nails it in this version. Also, perfect accompaniment by Jerry Douglas (et al).

Love this song. My Daughter sent it to me before a trip

She just kills this song...most excellent. She is the best! Love u Nanci!

At my advanced age it is wonderful to find an interpretation as good as this.

Who would ever have expected singing to be so effortlessly note perfect and entrancing?

my favorite Dylan song...and she does it perfectly

Sensational. .. tone and pace...spot on...and the way she says Barcelona with her Texas twang....jasus love Nancy Greetings from IRELAND 😉 salamat for the memories,.....

Danny Thompson's amazing , warm and strong bass give wonderful structure to this lovely song performed by all of these fine performers . George Lewis, Sr

Gawd damn Jerry Douglas he never hits a wrong note and is always so sweet!

lovely

I've been a music fan for over 60 years, and I can not believe I'd never heard of Nanci until recently. She is FANTASTIC -- I now have over a dozen of her albums, from her first to her newest.

Masterful, as good as a Dylan cover can get. RIP magnificent Texas songbird.

Great post-great version of great cover-she has great phrasing/articulation..tyvm!!

My heart is heavy tonight... love this. So glad to find it tonight.

Never thought I'd like anyone else covering a Dylan song. Bob's version breaks my heart. Nanci's melts it...

this song brings me to tears everything i listen to it.

Just a wonderful version, brilliant.

2 thumbs way up! ! !....EXCELLENT!!!!

Dobro picking is so masterful

Should be a "love" button...

A great version of Bob Dylan song...all full sensibility rithm....all instrumetation next to expresive words in the heart voice of Nancy Griffith...

Always loved Nancy but this is outstanding! The accompaniment is so tasteful,,,,, beautiful seems like an inadequate word,,,,

Beautiful!

I really loved her-RIP dear Nanci.

Nice performance. The best performance of this Dylan hit, I think.

beautiful version of a beautiful dylan song

RIP Nanci Griffith. Heard her the first time at Bob Dylan's 30th anniversary celebration in 1992, singing this song. My favorite version. This...my second favorite.

The muisc world and the world in general lost a little piece of its soul when Nanci passed. She was a gentle voice in a world of too many bombastic or narcissist individuals. Yes, she will be missed. "And acquired taste"? Perhaps, but once you have embarced it, it haunts you and comforts you. . .Rest in Peace, gentle songbird.

I'm a fan of Dylan's lyrics, and this is my favorite song by him. She covers it with grace. Just, wow.
