The second in my Cover Project series had me looking in the direction of Dylan. The Beatles are a huge influence on me, but Dylan is not far behind. So I thought it'd be cool to ask offthewall to join me in this song. Actually I'm almost ashamed but he did much of the work, handling upright bass, harp and dobro. I had a hand in a couple of guitar tracks and mixing.

This is a nice change of pace from the machine music posted here. Warm and very human.
While listening in earbuds, I noticed the left and right channels had separate guitar tracks with quite different rhythms. It was a little disconcerting. It sounds fine on speakers. |

Thank you, Frantz. The guitars are different I suppose, one is strummed and the other finger picking. Disconcerting? hmm, I'll have to listen closer. |

The difference between strumming and finger picking would explain the different rhythms I am hearing. I am not a guitar guy. On third listen, I like this effect. Sorry, I take it back.  |

Lovely gentle song. Great collab guys.
@FrantzM This doubled up guitar - especially with a picked + strummed styles is something that offthewall has got off to a fine art. I find it works very well, and frequently ends up producing a third 'pseudo' rhythm that bounces nicely between the two. |

Very nicely done - terrific heartfelt performances all round, and very well put together.
Will there be more covers in this series? |

Great cover guys. Always great to hear Scarborough Fair in a new context. I always liked that S&G version too. I didn't realise that Dylan had recorded it. Before my time
FrantzM, If you want to hear some disconcerting concurrent strumming and picking, listen to Frame By Frame by King Crimson. |

How about a cover of "Across The Borderline" (Cooder/Hiatt/Dickinson)? Bet you could nail those harmonies  |
