Bob Dylan is one of the most covered artists in rock history. It almost seems as if a band hasn’t “earned their stripes” until they cover Bobby D. Dylan is the king of simple but effective tunes that are ripe for interpretation. One of those tunes is You Ain’t Goin’ Nowhere, a beautiful little ditty that was actually released by The Byrds before Dylan got his version out.
You Ain’t Goin’ Nowhere was first recorded by Dylan and The Band in 1967 during the legendary Basement Sessions. The Basement Sessions weren’t released to the public until 1975, but bootleg copies made the rounds among artists. The Byrds recorded their own version of the song for Sweetheart of the Rodeo in 1968, starting a trend of bands covering You Ain’t Goin’ Nowhere. This week the B List compiles 20 great versions of one of our favorite Dylan tunes.
