Jeff Tweedy looks a little bit like Bobby D, especially when scruffy. In fact, Tweedy looks more like the rock ‘n’ roll icon than Dylan’s own son, Jakob. Imho, if I may…

Maybe it’s me, or does every project Tweedy touches turn to gold? The Woody Guthrie records Wilco recorded with Billy Bragg were stellar. Not entirely polished, but raw and raucous and introspective and fun. The soundtrack to the Dylan flick “I’m Not There” is a compilation of some rather outstanding covers.

Tweedy turns in a rugged performance of Dylan’s classic song “Simple Twist of Fate.” I can even SEE Tweedy making Dylan faces as he sings this on-stage, solo in some seedy Chicago piano bar. Download the song below, buy the album at iTunes or amazon.com.
