Bob Dylan’s Don’t Think Twice It’s Alright has been covered by over a dozen artists. That says a lot about the quality of the song. It can be interpreted in many ways.
I think Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard’s version is exceptional. It was recorded about five years ago. Their voices are old and raspy, but that adds a lot to this gem of a song.
Oh thank you very much, peccavi, for this clip. Emmylou is even more angelic in this than usually, and I like her little baby fat . Was this from before or after she hooked up with Gram Parsons? The story I know (admittedly only very sketchy) is that Gram pushed her from folk to country, so I’m surprised that she sang a country song (though Dylan is always suitable and transcends the boundaries between genres anyway) on TV solo in 1972.
