Top 9 Covers: The Many Sounds of Dylan's 'You Ain't Goin Nowhere'

Just a top 10 in tribute to one of my favorite songs (so good, in fact, that it has its own wikipedia article) that happens to have inspired some pretty stellar covers - the Byrds & bluegrass legend Earl Scruggs, The Swell Season (the actors from the movie 'Once' who fell in love on-set), Counting Crows, the Desert Rose Band, so on and so forth. Also included is the original recording by Dylan & The Band on The Basement Tapes as well as the rerecording on his Greatest Hits Vol. II - guess they don't necessarily qualify as covers but the versions have different sounds nonetheless. Videos mashed up with Searchles TV. Go on...try it yourself.
