Dylan Covers 4:Every Song 1979-89 by US Artists
by Moondance

This chart is the 5th 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 May 1979 until September 1989, including unreleased songs or outtake songs which were later released on the Bootleg Series of albums.
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.
Albums recorded &/or released during this period are:

Slow Train Coming (1979)
(Note 1: Track 2 - Precious Angel - has not been covered by a US artist)
(Note 2: Two outtakes 'Trouble In Mind' (released as a b-side single) & 'Ye Shall be Changed' have not been covered by any artists)

(Note 4: Track 8 - Saving Grace - has only been performed by 2 US artists - Aaron Neville (but only on the 'Gotta Serve Somebody - Gospel Songs of Bob Dylan' compilation tribute album) & Chastity Brown (but only on the 'Bob Dylan In The 80's Vol1' compilation album. Both compilation albums appear elsewhere in this chart.
(Note 5: Track 9 - Are You Ready - has only been covered by one US artist (Fairfield Four), but only on the 'Gotta Serve Somebody - Gospel Songs Of Bob Dylan' compilation tribute album - which also features several tracks from the 'Slow Train Coming' album entered earlier in the chart).
