For me, I think Leon does a great job of interpreting Dylan with his Okie-soul styling on "Leon Russell and the Shelter People" album. His versions of "It's a Hard Rain" and "It takes a lot to laugh..." are very heartfelt and, well, funky. The bonus Dylan tunes on the CD reissue are also very well done. And the Dead do a very nice version of "It's all over now, Baby Blue" as found on Dick's Picks #9, though it can't compare to being there at the end of a long and winding second set when they'd break it out for an encore. Now that was bliss!
