Found (with some help from Mr. Huddell and Mr. Berman) some fantastic versions of two songs from The Basement Tapes.
  • Joan Baez, "You Ain't Goin Nowhere"
  • The Byrds, "You Ain't Goin Nowhere"
  • The Byrds, "This Wheel's on Fire"
  • Dylan and the Band, "This Wheel's on Fire"
  • Dylan and the Band, "You Ain't Goin Nowhere"
  • The Rave-Ups, "You Ain't Goin Nowhere"
  • Robyn Hitchcock and the Venus 3, "Olé Tarantula"
  • Robyn Hitchcock, "You Ain't Goin Nowhere"
  • Julie Driscoll, "This Wheel's on Fire"
  • Julie Driscoll, "The Season of the Witch"
I compiled a video playlist of most of these songs on YouTube -- particularly recommend checking out the almost hallucinatory quality of the two The Byrds versions and the really striking fan video for the Rave-Ups' version. And the Venus 3 number, while it strays a bit from the theme of the playlist, fits in quite nicely and fits into a broader playlist theme of "Songs I would wish to cover". (Plus some bonus tracks added, if you listen to the end...)
