Bob Dylan: Top 10 covers

Bob Dylan turns 66 years old today. The staffers at Rolling Stone magazine threw a big bash for him and, along with help from folks like Tracy Bonham, covered a bunch of his tunes. Which got me thinking ... Of all the Dylan covers (we're talking thousands) which are the 10 best? Here are my picks:

Top 10 Bob Dylan covers

1. "All Along the Watchtower," Jimi Hendrix

2. "Every Grain of Sand," Emmylou Harris

3. "Senor (Tales of Yankee Powder)," Jerry Garcia Band

4. "I Shall be Released," The Band

5. "Mr. Tambourine Man," The Byrds

6. "Shelter from the Storm," Cassandra Wilson

7. "Just Like a Woman," Richie Havens

8. "Highway 61 Revisited," Johnny Winter
