Bob Dylan > Someday Baby

The Allman Brothers Band introduced this song to the white rock audience, but the last person I expected to do a cover was Bob Dylan. And I expected to like it even less. But here it is, one of two blues covers on the only Dylan album I’ve liked for since 1975. Goes to show you there can be a surprise every day.

Composer credits on the blues are notoriously unreliable —it’s a tradition of oral history after all— but I’ve variably seen it listed as Sleepy John Estes, Mississippi Fred McDowell, McKinley Morganfield/Muddy Waters, even Dylan took credit.
