An entire album of Elvis covering Dylan songs would have been a dream come true; the man with the perfect voice covering songs by one of the greatest lyric writers of all time. It is a shame we don't have more, but I love the little bit we do have. Elvis obviously found a lot of meaning and feeling in the song--you can hear it in his voice even in the little bit we have. I wouldn't mind if someone recorded some backing--the way David Briggs did with Twelfth of Never--as long as they employed a very light touch.
