Bob Dylan is no stranger to the art of cover songs. Frequently cited as one of the most covered artists of all time, his unique talent for songwriting led to his songs being adopted by civil rights movements and other musicians alike. From Jimi Hendrix to Nina Simone to Joan Baez, the number of artists to pay tribute to Dylan is unmatched. Even George Harrison covered ‘If Not For You’ on his first post-Beatles solo release, All Things Must Pass. But Dylan is well-acquainted with covering songs himself – his 2015 album Shadows in the Night takes on the works of Frank Sinatra. Although, Dylan retains that they’re not covers, telling Rolling Stone, “I don’t see myself as covering these songs in any way. They’ve been covered enough. Buried, as a matter of fact. What me and my band are basically doing is uncovering them. Lifting them out of the grave and bringing them into the light of day.”Just a year before, in 2014, Dylan was to “uncover” a Beatles B-side when he covered ‘Things We Said Today.’ The 1964 song featured on the other side of ‘A Hard Day’s Night’ as well as on their third studio album of the same name. The track was featured on the soundtrack for the film A Hard Day’s Night.
