      Here is THE DRUIDS OF STONEHENGE doing a cover of It's all over now, baby blue in 1966.

      They also did other covers including a smokin' version of Bo Diddley's "Who do you love".

      Grass Roots - Mr. Jones (Ballad of a Thin Man).

      Joe Christ appropriated the song , with different words , as "Your Daughter Died a Virgin." (Nice , I know. But , he was nice , actually.).

      Link Wray did a pretty good version of "Girl From The North County" and "Baby Blue", too.

      Not really garage but Duane Eddy did some cool fuzz guitar Dylan covers on his Duane Does Dylan album. Couldn't find anything on YouTube but here's a short mp3 sample of "All I Really Want To Do".

      "Weeeeeellll , A lotta people say Bob Dylan exists. I like Dylan's stuff , you know. He's a little alien , he lives here with me ! He has that song , "And God gave names to all the animals....". Roky Erickson , 1984. He was so much older , then , he's younger than that , now.

      With all these idiot tribute albums TO albums going around (Oh , I'm sure SOME are good.) , some REALLY inept Garage Punk bands ought to do one to "Pat Garrett and Billy The Kid" , which sounds like one one acknowledged classic short of Dylan sleeping.

I hate the Dead but they did a few cool singles before shitting out a bunch of lame albums and It's All Over Now Baby Blue was one of 'em. It ain't garage but Elvis's version of Tomorrow Is a Long Time, tacked onto the Spinout soundtrack, is a beauty.

      Johnny Thunders & Wayne Kramer do "Like a Rolling Stone" on their Gang Warfare album.

      It's not technically "garage" but Mike Ness of Social Distortion does a cool cowpunky version of "Don't Think Twice" on his Cheating at Solitaire solo album.
