On a mobile so links are too slow to find and paste but Johnny Cash and Bob Dylan's beautiful slaughter of 'Girl From The North Country', itself a rip-off of 'Scarborough Fair', always amazes and amuses in equal measure.
The cover itself is not eccentric. But the execution definitely is! They've clearly not worked out an arrangement, Dylan just croaks along, melodies are a vague abstract notion, they're in different keys at times, sometimes even singing different words. In fact, claiming that they sang the song together is true only in that they were probably in the same room. It's only held together by Cash's flawless phrasing and diction. It's a riot!
And yet, it's somehow magical. Depending on my mood it can have me in raptures or in peals of laughter.
