I like them equally, for their own sakes. That sounds like a copout, but each version stands alone IMO: there is no other Dylan, period, and Bryan Ferry isnât trying to emulate him at all (can you imagine?!).
To me, this version sounds quintessentially like Bryan Ferry, bolstered by that beautiful sophisticated orchestration. I like the album - I think it pays Bob Dylan elegant homage with the âold dinner shirtâ (as someone referred to him) being his suave self while still pouring out emotion and meaning.
The lyrics are brilliant, of course!
