Kelly Hogan vs. Dan Wilson
space
Kelly Hogan:
Kelly Hogan is a recipient of CMI’s universally coveted title of Uni Victor Melodious Maximus in Adversarial Replication. Among the title’s myriad of rewards and benefits, perhaps most desirous is that it bestows upon the recipient the eminently yearned for privilege of having one’s name appear in print media in bold yellow.
Kelly Hogan’s triumphal performance in CMI’s THE CLASH of Cover Tunes competition is detailed below:
12/13/2013 – “It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue” (Bob Dylan) – Kelly Hogan (88%) thrashes Echo & The Bunnymen (12%)
Dan Wilson:
Oh the disharmony! Much like Harlan County there are no neutrals here. Only one cover tune will live to play another day and it is your solemn responsibility to decide which one prevails. So tell me … Which Side Are You On?!!?

I don’t like this song. Rubs me the wrong way for some reason. But I like how Dan Wilson does it musically.
This is a rare occasion where I find myself in disagreement with Cuspid above. I had never heard the song before. I like it. Very poignant. I really liked the way Kelly Hogan performed it. I had never heard of her before, but the cover versions you’ve presented by her are all pretty well done.
I’ve loved this song from the first time I heard it. I didn’t realize it was a cover until a few months after purchasing Kelly’s excellent “The Whistle Only Dogs Can Hear”. Her version remains the standard in my mind.

Dubbs, you’re a much bigger fan of Kelly Hogan than I, but I was able to send a vote her way on this occasion.
