Elvis singing Bob Dylan's songs...

[Rover]

I know only 2 songs written by Dylan that Elvis sang: Tomorrow is a long time, and Don't think twice it's alright. Both are really amazing...I wanted to know if he covered more Dylan songs?

He did play around with Blowin' In the Wind, available on the Platinum boxed set. It is not a formal recording.

And remember, Don't Think Twice was only an informal jam as well; they never set out to officially record it.

I love the way he sings Tomorrow Is A Long Time . And I must say he did it better then Dylan.
But, I give all the credit to Dylan for the wonderful lyrics!!!!!!
Elvis' voice and Dylan's lyrics are a great combination!

Really? I came across it on youtube, and I thought it was an official release

Like Marija said, Dylan is really great when it comes to writing lyrics...and Elvis' voice singing them is wonderful material

That's not what I said. I said RCA never set out to officially record it.

It was never originally slated as part of the recording session. It was a one-off jam session that, thankfully, someone had the wherewithall to record.

But, after so many years, we still haven't heard the whole thing ...

He also sang a snippet of I shall be released by dylan. I can't remember for the life of me what cd it was off of. Maybe Walk a mile in my shoes?

You are correct. If I'm not mistaken, I also read in "Elvis: His Life From A To Z" that he also sang Dylan's "She Belongs To Me" in concert...

If he did, it would have only been a one-liner.

And, aside from the notoriously out of date A-Z book, there is no other reference for this.

You're correct, Getlo. And yes, "Elvis: His Life From A To Z" is badly out of date and needs revamping....
