song covers

["Gart, Mitchell" <MGart>]

The mention of Privilege, and also Bob Dylan's new album, made me think of
song covers and Patti's rumored album.  It was more than a year ago that she
and the guys were said to be in the studio making a covers album.

Bob's new album isn't really that good IMHO, but I LOVE his cover of the old
Muddy Waters blues song Rollin and Tumblin.  Bob takes the chorus and the
melody from that song, but writes 100% new words in all the middle verses.
The result is incredibly great.  That would be a great approach for Patti to
take on some old songs.

Anybody know recent info about the covers album?

 Well, if the river was whiskey,
And I was a divin duck.
Well, if the river was whiskey,
And I was a divin duck.
Well, I would dive to the bottom,
Never would I come up.

(Bob's version)
I'm flat out spent, this woman been drivin' me to tears
I'm flat out spent, this woman she been drivin' me to tears
This woman so crazy, I swear I ain't gonna touch another one for years
