Dylan Covers 4:Every Song 1967-71 by US artists by Moondance 
This chart is the 3rd in the series dedicated to all those USA artists who are either lesser known or completely unknown but have included a Dylan cover song on an album.
This particular chart covers the period April 1967 to November 1971, including unreleased songs or outtake songs which were later released on the Bootleg Series of albums. Thus, it begins in Woodstock, during Dylan's 16 months retreat following his motorcycle accident.
Once I have listed between 1- 3 cover versions of a particular song by lesser known/unknown USA artists, I will move onto the next song in Dylan's chronology for which a cover version(s) are available.

The Basement Tapes (recorded 1967; eventually released June 1975)
John Wesley Harding (December 1967)
Nashville Skyline (April 1969)
Self Portrait (June 1970)
