Our Take

Ah, the swinging 60s! A time of great musical experimentation, where British bands took American icon Bob Dylan's songs and made them their own. Enter "Take What You Need: UK Covers of Bob Dylan Songs 1964-69," a delightful compilation that showcases the diverse range of interpretations these bands brought to Dylan's timeless classics.

From The Beatles' cheeky rendition of "Like a Rolling Stone" to The Kinks' gritty take on "I'm Not There," this album is a veritable smorgasbord of musical styles. Each track feels like a love letter to Dylan, with artists putting their own spin on his poetic lyrics and haunting melodies.

It's fascinating to hear how bands like The Animals and The Hollies transformed Dylan's folk anthems into gritty rock ‘n’ roll tracks. The energy and enthusiasm these bands bring to each cover is infectious, making you want to grab a tambourine and join in on the fun.

While some purists may argue that nothing can compare to the original recordings, there's no denying the creativity and passion that went into these covers. "Take What You Need" is a joyful celebration of Dylan's influence on British music, and a reminder of the endless possibilities when it comes to interpreting a great song.

So, grab a cup of tea, put on your dancing shoes, and give this album a spin. Who knows, you might just find yourself falling in love with Dylan's songs all over again. Cheers to the British Invasion!
