This is one of the best covers of a Dylan song I've ever heard and I must confess I've been listening to Dylan for the better part of the last 50 years. Thank you so much for doing this one, Dave.

Been a faithful fan of Johnny's Winter's version of this for as long as it's been out. A couple of weeks ago, You Tube's algorithm spit this in my path. This is now front and center. I can't stop listening to it.
I grew up near US Route (Hwy) 61 in Arkansas. It begins in Minnesota and follows the Mississippi River South on its West side down through my hometown in Northeast Arkansas. It then crosses over to the East side of the river at Memphis, TN. It becomes the Blues Highway as it travels South through the Mississippi Delta and ends in New Orleans, LA. It was a heavily traveled main artery in the middle of the country until the late 1960s when Interstate 55 replaced it as the main route from the North to the South in the Midwest. I was raised on many stories about the infamous Highway 61 and Dylan immortalized it in this song.
An incredible piece of art. Dave Alvin's brilliant talent, playing one of Dylan's best about a topic close to many of us topped with this video. It's equal parts nostalgia for the 50's, searing images that punch home the song : An homage to Stevie Ray, to Dylan but most of all the man himself. I too can't stop listening to this.

Dave Alvin can do no musical wrong! I’ve heard this version before and it is a great take on Dylan’s classic. The video syncs the story perfectly as well. Rock on Dave. Think I’ll go back the the Ashgrove now

@@davealvinofficial No worries Dave.. I sussed that one out.. knew it wasn't you; hence my reply..I genuinely do think it is the best cover.. I have heard many covers and the majority keep within the Dylan track.. Johnny Winters is great, but you put your own slant on it which makes it unique
The bass and drums propel the guitar and vocals into a rhythm and groove that settles deep, deep down. This song is felt and experienced in your gut. It is like a roller coaster that excites and scares, and it leaves you wanting more.
First released on the LP version of "Ashgrove". That album kicks such amounts of butt, that it got kinda lost on side four. Glad to get a second taste. Yep Roc offering free world wide shipping on this pre-order is one classy gesture.

Great storytelling, putting the words up front with such clarity; Dave chooses wisely, making it the "Talkin' Abraham's Sacrifice Blues." And the video is pure biblical noir. I kind of love it.
Dave Alvin (deeply underrated) did a great job here. This versione in simply outstanding: it's flaming and powerful, rocky and steep; it shoot you up in the sky
T.O.M.B.(The Overcomer Ministry Broadcast)is on Hwy 61 in South Carolina. It got worse when the Prophet passed. This song here prophesied about what the ministry would become this day beginning two to three years back from today!

This "Highway 61" cover is total garbage. It is completely uninspiring and really anyone could have done it. Alvin is creatively bankrupt and nothing proves it as convincingly as this waste of vinyl. It's a total joke.
Dave is outstanding. How can you be ominous humourous and ambiguous at the same time? The mark of a great artist.

I know, huh. I collect music 50 years. Dylan afficianado. Big fan of john bazz. Wild about alvins. Never heard this
Pity but grateful
Love JW!! But you're right. This version is a little more solid, coherent even?? Not that Johnny's was incoherent...just a lot more going on.
I hope you didn’t get spit on it can be nasty
I agree, a real masterpiece that should get more air play.
I feel like you're forgetting about the literal one and only version of this classic by the man who wrote it. But that's just my opinion.

Still love this version.
Spectacular video to accompany this great rendition by Alvin ...and the Blasters?

Brilliant. I bet Bob likes it too.
Great cover of a classic...
great version of a great song
Originally Bob Dylan, done well by Johnny Winter and Dave Alvin's version is great too. A great composition done by talented musicians. I really like Dave Alvin.
Dave Alvin is dynamite.
best version!!!

Many covers surpass the orginals. There are fewer great songwriters than great performers.

Dave, you really communicated the lyrics to this song much better than Dylan... The video kicked ass also... Great recording...
You can do what you want, but the next time you see me coming you betta run.
Excellent
Damn this guy's got a great voice
Like Chris Smither, both of them remind me in a good way of John Lee Hooker. Great song, great voice.
never knew the lyrics were that involved, gonna need a cheat sheet for that verse about the family affair,
Can a cover be better than the original? Maybe...
Johnny Winter does the best cover by far.
Depends on your personal taste man.
But yeah, you're right, JW was the best by far,
not that this isn't super cool, no one beats JW on
hwy 61, we all know where to find him too..
You can not beat that!👹
I can't wait till the Trumpvirus leaves town and we can go and listen to Dave again! Hang in there everybody Dave Alvin will be back!

I don't... let's just get Dave back out on the road....
