James Taylor puts such a wonderful touch in every tune he sings & plays. Man, his music pulled me through moments of despair & added warmth to the great times too ! What a joy.

Probably my favorite version of my favorite Dylan song.

James could make a rock melt. I saw this guy way back in Boston in the late sixties. Three people in a cafe. Us and James. He must of thought I was nuts copying fingers stylings and chords. James could make rocks melt.....

Sort of a cultural “Mountain”... Range. Well said James Taylor & lovely take on this early Bob Dylan classic.

His voice feels everything but is still a soothing touch. Beautiful sounding guitar. What lyrics

A great version of one of the great songs. Thank you.

James Taylor is a treasured and blessed troubadour for sure

That was a beautiful cover. His version has an undertone of heartbreak.

James Taylor, my first concert at The Hollywood Bowl when Mud, Slide Slim came out. AMAZING concert, especially for my first one.

I can't believe how motionless they remained throughout the entire performance.

Still resonates with me. Heard the original as a preteen and didn’t know what it meant till my mid 20s

Absolutely beautiful. Lifetime James Taylor guy. Have never heard this!!??!

James Taylor has a voice like melting chocolate. Dylan's words are running water and daily bread. Our lives need this.

the king of feelings sings the king of ideas

As North America, the 🌎 begins to come out of the darkness and strong hold of covid-19, 🇺🇸 and a few other countries are attempting to become creative as far as safety protocols and concerts go. I know May are left out of rescheduled concerts. Until my Canadian border opens up, live- streaming, and past performances we shall have to settle for here in 🇨🇦, and "ain't no use to sit and wonder why" nor "think twice about" what just is. We must pack a healthy dose of patience, respect for a process just now and a whole lot of thanks into our daily lives that we came out of this ordeal still intact So fortunate to tune up a James Taylor song or one he has covered. Feeling blessed.

Thank you so much, I am a big fan pf both. All the best from Ireland.

The Master at work...true greatness, he just adds so much to any song, even one of Dylan's.

Thanks James Taylor... and thanks for all your great songs ♥️

I loved it! I met James when I was 21 years old. He is as close to perfect as humans get. ❤️ Thanks for posting this.

beautiful version! good voice and good guitars!

It’s hard to top Dylan, but this rendition is an absolute tribute to Dylan! Well done!

Never heard this song by James Taylor very good thank sweet baby

played this song many times,James adds his usual and wonderful rendition, another inspiration for me - Barrie Styles

Wow! No one ever did this better than James Taylor.

His comedic timing in the intro is spot on! As is the song, of course...

A beautiful interpretation, thanks for posting...

My favorite song to hear covered, and this one is sweet. I love to hear the internal harmonies that different souls bring out of it. Thanks.

Thank you for posting fantastic. Best regards Steve in York. 🍺

You cover it like no other.......

One of Bobby's best and as for the delivery-the best too!

Best performence ever!!!!

Never heard James Taylor cover this song. Love his version of this incredibly great, great song. Really love his arrangement. Sometimes James gets into songs that are kind of pop but I truely enjoy when he is doing the very folkiest tunes.

Lovely rendition

JT with this rendition has won me over yet again.

Cultural mountain range is a great description of Bob's talent but even that seems inadequate. Great great cover.

Love the slide guitar (or Dobro) that someone is calling mandolin in the bridge....

Thanks for sharing these... You make my day. Hoyah!

Here the singer and the writer mutually tell how great both of them.

Where would we be if there had never been a Bob Dylan??

Very beautifully done James thank you so much. I’m sitting here in my heart shaped chair looking out the window at the boats and the sunshine and thinking how peaceful your voice and the memories of the past make me feel🥰

Beautiful ⚘️ 😍

James Taylor... a national treasure

Great writing, better singing, James brings a soul to the lyrics

❤ Awesome ❤ great version ❤

Great version 🤟

2 great musical influences... Bob Dylan and James Taylor

thanks for posting this...its somewhat of a rarity

Very cool!

Huge fan of Dylan and JT +have heard many singers try to cover Dylan that I wish I hadn't. NOT J.T. though JT does Dylan proud here as well as echoing --paraphrasing what Leonard Cohen stated about Dylan being awarded The Nobel Prize: "Giving Dylan The Nobel Prize is like pinning a Gold Medal on Mount Everest for being the largest mountain". Always amazing that James Taylor--an all time great himself--also looks to Dylan as a mountain...then corrects himself with a chuckle--a whole "cultural mountain range"!

Well old friend, you certainly did justice to that.

So good

Love JT.

“Gone to Carolina in my Mind” - 1971 Fall in Chapel Hill JT played Carmichael Auditorium (then UNC’s basketball facility) - I got 2 tickets but my sister, a HS senior, adored James - so I gave girlfriend Patty one ticket & sister the other - an hour before showtime I snuck into Carmichael via adjacent Woolen Gym - a guy in the tunnel asked me why was I there? - I told him I was with the stage crew - unexpectedly he assigned me to carry some co-axle cable up to the spotlights - Minutes later I moved down to floor level and laid Patty & sis’s blanket front row - I put a song request list on the piano - the week before event Patty & Sis had a screen printed t-shirt made with “Sweet Baby James” on front (green field with yellow letters) - I took the wrapped shirt to the dressing room but was stopped so I asked security to deliver it - the outside doors opened and Patty & sis joined me at floor level - within 10 feet of JT’s virtuosity - he played his first set - took a brief intermission - then started playing again - after a few more songs Patty pokes me & points toward the entry way from dressing room - leaning against the wall wearing the t-shirt was Carly Simon! No shit! - can’t wait to return to Chapter Hill - Class of ‘74

Awesome

JT sings BD.... great stuff

I can't believe she was standing there smiling

And We all sang along ... subconsciously fingering an air guitar. Soundtrack of our lives.

" Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right " … It ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe If'n you don't know by now And it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe It'll never do somehow When your rooster crows at the break of dawn Look out your window and I'll be gone You're the reason I'm a-traveling on But don't think twice, it's all right ___________________________ … And it ain't no use in turning on your light, babe That light I never knowed And it ain't no use in turning on your light, babe I'm on the dark side of the road But I wish there was somethin' you would do or say To try and make me change my mind and stay But we never did too much talking anyway But don't think twice, it's all right _____________________________ … So it ain't no use in calling out my name, gal Like you never done before And it ain't no use in calling out my name, gal I can't hear you anymore I'm a-thinking and a-wonderin' walking down the road I once loved a woman, a child, I'm told I give her my heart but she wanted my soul But don't think twice, it's all right ______________________________ … So long honey, babe Where I'm bound, I can't tell Goodbye's too good a word, babe So I'll just say, "Fare thee well" I ain't a-saying you treated me unkind You could've done better but I don't mind You just kinda wasted my precious time But don't think twice, it's all right _______________________________ Deusche Version „Überlegen Sie nicht zweimal, es ist alles in Ordnung“ … Es hat keinen Sinn, herumzusitzen und sich zu fragen, warum, Baby Wenn nicht, wissen Sie es noch nicht Und es hat keinen Sinn, herumzusitzen und sich zu fragen, warum, Baby Irgendwie wird es nie gehen Wenn Ihr Hahn im Morgengrauen kräht Schau aus deinem Fenster und ich bin weg Du bist der Grund, warum ich weiterreise Aber denken Sie nicht länger darüber nach, es ist alles in Ordnung ___________________________ … Und es hat keinen Sinn, das Licht anzuschalten, Baby Dieses Licht habe ich nie gekannt Und es hat keinen Sinn, das Licht anzuschalten, Baby Ich bin auf der dunklen Seite der Straße Aber ich wünschte, es gäbe etwas, das du tun oder sagen würdest Um zu versuchen, mich dazu zu bringen, meine Meinung zu ändern und zu bleiben Aber wir haben sowieso nie viel geredet Aber denken Sie nicht länger darüber nach, es ist alles in Ordnung _____________________________ … Es hat also keinen Sinn, meinen Namen zu rufen, Mädel So wie du es noch nie zuvor getan hast Und es hat keinen Sinn, meinen Namen zu rufen, Mädel Ich kann dich nicht mehr hören Ich denke nach und wundere mich, während ich die Straße entlang gehe Ich habe einst eine Frau geliebt, ein Kind, erzählt man mir Ich gebe ihr mein Herz, aber sie wollte meine Seele Aber denken Sie nicht länger darüber nach, es ist alles in Ordnung ______________________________ … Bis dann, Schatz, Baby Wohin ich gehe, kann ich nicht sagen Auf Wiedersehen ist ein zu gutes Wort, Baby Also sage ich einfach: „Lebe wohl“ Ich sage nicht, dass du mich unfreundlich behandelt hast Du hättest es besser machen können, aber das macht mir nichts aus Du hast einfach meine kostbare Zeit verschwendet Aber denken Sie nicht länger darüber nach, es ist alles in Ordnung ______________________________

For the person responsible for the subtitles it’s wandered down the road not wondered down the road , words have meanings ! Great interpretation as usual by James et al .

Few artists can sing a Bob Dylan's song and sound good. He's one of them.

Dang. I wish I could see the visuals. Is there a video? This is just the audio. TYreasure though it is. Never heard James pick like that. Very cool.

J.T. brings some sweet and kindness to a song that doesn't have so much originally. But, I still prefer the Dylan's version.

I am a strong fan of JT & of Dylan. Though a unique cover, I much prefer they stay true to themselves. There are many covers of each other's songs. These two are like water & oil. They do not mix well. Both are great, not shaken or stirred. Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed it.

Nothing to talk about!!!❤❤❤

Pretty cool.

You think it starts too slow and soft. Then James starts playing. Ahh, that's right. Then the song goes on. Nice accompaniment.... but, that guitar.... it really ties the room together nicely.

❤❤❤

The "mandolin" is a resonator guitar.

What mandolin are you talking about?

That’s nick forester on the left of jt a fine musician

That's Irma Thomas on the left! Hi Irma!

Guitar sounds...... sure it is Baby James.....

bravo. même Dylan aurait apprécier.

Nick Forster of Hot Rize in thumbnail on right.

Fantastic shame no video.

ディランのぶっきらぼうな　歌い方に比べ、ジェームスは　一語一語を　とても　大切そうに　歌っている。どちらも　美声ではないが　味わい深い歌だ。

play 1.25...

My chance for my health.. l am always here.

w o w

Go Red Sox

I like this version much more than the Dylan version.

We should have . 😊

Very nice. Is that Jerry Douglas on the dobro?

I have seen JT three times. I recently saw the JT/ Jàckson Browne tour. Terrible. If he can't do better than that, he should retire. As a fellow Carolina boy, I've been a huge fan siñce 74. Hope that the future treats him kindly. I at a loss to figure out wth has happened...

Bridge is dobro, btw.

Great job Solo is on the dobro not mandolin

Love JT but Bob is the master

Sort of a cultural mountain...range. I spit my coffee out, that was funny...

How you doing

Range. 😂😂😂 what a humble genius.

😊😅😅😅✌️✌️🤞

How come you don't have a red heart❤❤❤???

As good as Dylan's original version.

That bridge was a dobro, not a mandolin..

Here's another cover I like a lot, by two talented women: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mJugdsRjtMnVeXU.html

I may not have long to live,but it will be treated decently for the time. Thank-you , Lana for getting rid of Hauser. 🐮🐮🐮🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐉🐉🐠🥀

What a has been.

Stay calm

James Taylor’s line: Where I’m bound, I can’t tell. Goodbye is too good of a word babe. I’ll just say fare the well. Jerry Reed’s version: Where I’m bound, I can’t tell. Goodbye is too good of a word babe. I’ll just say go to hell. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/raiTftV-nM2adqM.html

I know why...I won't.....I know. ...your words not mine. you went to North Carolina.....I don't want your soul I just wanted to know you....it hurts too much...gone like the wound...it great coffee....
