I mean, Mad Dogs & Englishmen is only one of the best rock record/concert/projects, ever. Cocker is definitely fire, but it was Leon's band.

More Leon!

Many many moons ago I liked this a lot. Now it seems kinda awful. It completely fails to capture the tone of the song, robbing it of its meaning.

To each their own...this cover of a CLASSIC is a 9 (Leon was (IS!!) the shit....Long Live RP and keep on playing Leon!!

If you enjoy this song, the lyrics, and the genesis of the lyrics, check out my friend Lloyd Timberlake's web site on creating a sustainable environment:

 Hard Rain Project   https://www.hardrainproject.com/no_shelter 

....and his beautiful book of the same name. (all done with Dylan's permission)

That Dos Equis "Most Interesting Man in the World" guy has nothing on Lloyd. He is an incredibly well-travelled and accomplished individual!

I think Dylan wrote this on the assumption that the Cuban Missile crisis would cause military conflict that would end the World.

My overall preference is for his Bobness's version, then Ferry's, with this version a distant third. This sounds unremarkable and disposable and adds nothing to the original. Why bother?
It's interesting though, how each of these versions of the song reflect the political and social climate in which they were released. Dylan's tense, the-end-is-nigh stance, then this drug use hippie version followed by Bryan Ferry's upbeat interpretation, anticipating the pop-filled 80s. They are all interesting, but Dylan's original will probably always remain the definitive. A least you can dance to Bryan Ferry!

 
great that we are offered Dylan, Ferry and strong Leon Russell in fabulous mixed batches here on RP  : )

Love

I think Leon had one of the most distinctive voices in Rock & Roll. This whole album is classic.  Miss you, Leon.

He ain't got no voice, but he uses what what he's got to perfection. Keep this one in rotation, sez me.

It's been a long, long time since I last heard this tune.  We listened to Leon Russell almost nonstop during my sophomore year in college.  He was playing the college circuit around that time.

Never heard this one before, much to my discredit. Blistering cover. Nice work.

In that case, this is more proof that Americans don't understand irony. macolyte wrote:

I love Leon. From producing \"This Diamond Ring\" by Gary Lewis and the Playboys, to all his great covers and originals. How about playing \"Elvis and Marilyn\" from Americana.
Posted 22 years ago by Draxcy    [ Reply ]
Differnt than Dylan for sure but still a good version. Leon Russell is a musical genious. From Frank Sinatra to Joe Cocker to George Harrison to the Stones to his own work.

I agree. Leon's style just doesn't seem to fit this song.

Haven\'t heard Leon for awhile, I enjoyed this song, Maybe more is in order.

I like hearing almost any Leon. This is good but there are many better.

This one is a yawn for me. A song in search of a more interesting melody.
