Cat Power – Stuck inside of Mobile with the Memphis blues again – The Best Dylan Covers
Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again is written by Bob Dylan and appears on his 1966 album Blonde on Blonde. The album version also appears on 1971’s Bob Dylan’s Greatest Hits Vol. II. A live version of this song appears on the 1976 album Hard Rain, and was also released as a single with Rita May as the B-side. An early studio take, done in a faster cut-time, was released on The Bootleg Series Vol. 7: No Direction Home: The Soundtrack.
Cat Power covered the song on the soundtrack of the film I’m Not There. She sings in a Dylan-style that suits her voice great!

Great read, she sings from inside the M&M blues. Unlike the power of Patti Smith’s vocals which also strike straight through the sternum to the heart, you can hear the Cat caressing the words to get inside their soul. And man oh man oh woman, what a band. These musicians were HOT. There were enough tasty licks to keep you listening with a serious case of please “Play it again Sam.” Like a Beethoven string quartet, around each bend there’s another feast for your ears. JRW
Completely agree, a wonderful cover!
