Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Hattie Carroll

[@kaneda081]

you guys R the best!!! thanks to have been in Chile.

[@thumpinrascal]

Wow dylan looks so young in this vid thanx!!!!

[@FWNiightmare]

BRMC did a great cover of Dylan song. Irreverent today or not, old songs cant still be important ones. There is a reason Dylan is legend.

[@MagnificentFiend]

All absolutely correct, no-one seems to get this rght ever. Well done!

[@gordomcc]

its amazing how remakes of Dylan songs are always so good...

[@leesystems]

"Their own sound" as an electric trio is really good. He's just paying tribute to a forefather of popular music. Their own sound includes vintage Gibsons. The bass is a wonderful bass and it gets many great tones. I know. I have a 1968 2 pickup model. Keep on!

[@pipicanopo]

think this version is full of feeling. just look at him! I've listened it live...it melted me.

[@onkelbuke]

wow, that was excellent. Really awesome. °°°°° thanks Art for took this great tune on his channel. Cheers, CHris

[@helux81]

Unbelievable!! great sound, excellent video quality for 1963!!

[@mcclendonreport]

This is a nice reading of the song. Usually, the simpler the better. Lots of covers miss the essence of a song. This fellow has captured it well.

[@shadowplay29]

this was absolutely beautiful!

[@philoluna33]

One of my favorite Dylan songs. Excellent tribute!

[@cpt.meowstache]

this is amazing, i lover b.r.m.c and dylan. he plays and sings it so well, great stuff! thank you for posting this!

[@teltronics]

no one sings dylan like dylan... but this is something else. It's such an great version, I just love Robs voice and it fits the song in an amazing way

Lyrics: William Zanzinger killed poor Hattie Carroll With a cane that he twirled around his diamond ring finger At a Baltimore hotel society gathering And the cops were called in and his weapon took from him As they rode him in custody down to the station And booked William Zanzinger for first-degree murder But you who philosophize disgrace and criticize all fears Take the rag away from your face Now ain't the time for your tears William Zanzinger, who at twenty-four years Owns a tobacco farm of six hundred acres With rich wealthy parents who provide and protect him And high office relations in the politics of Maryland Reacted to his deed with a shrug of his shoulders And swear words and sneering, and his tongue it was snarling In a matter of minutes, on bail was out walking But you who philosophize disgrace and criticize fears Take the rag away from your face Now ain't the time for your tears Hattie Carroll was a maid in the kitchen She was fifty-one years old and gave birth to ten children Who carried the dishes and took out the garbage And never sat once at the head of the table And didn't even talk to the people at the table Who just cleaned up all the food from the table And emptied the ashtrays on a whole other level Got killed by a blow, lay slain by a cane That sailed through the air and came down through the room Doomed and determined to destroy all the gentle And she never done nothing to William Zanzinger And you who philosophize disgrace and criticize all fears Take the rag away from your face Now ain't the time for your tears In the courtroom of honor, the judge pounded his gavel To show that all's equal and that the courts are on the level And that the strings in the books ain't pulled and persuaded And that even the nobles get properly handled Once that the cops have chased after and caught 'em And that the ladder of law has no top and no bottom Stared at the person who killed for no reason Who just happened to be feelin' that way without warnin' And he spoke through his cloak, most deep and distinguished And handed out strongly, for penalty and repentance William Zanzinger with a six-month sentence Oh, but you who philosophize disgrace and criticize all fears Bury the rag deep in your face For now's the time for your tears

[@TheDeadVictim]

this is a wonderful cover thank you

[@dillie1b]

wow awesome job

[@theoretically1112]

There's just something so sweet about a guitar played in tune.

[@arkidpui]

robert is amazing

[@BlackRoseRocket]

i love them so much @--^---

[@oasis210972]

incredible....

[@Schadenfreude24]

To me, in BRMC's other songs, his voice has a similar quality to it, but I never really noticed it until I listened to this cover and then put on some of their music.

[@christianbikes]

this is awesome

[@Edgey89]

(sheds one single tear)

[@salinferno]

Ive always thought that its super hard to pull off a dylan cover. Not only is BRMC the best band Ive seen live, but this cover is beautiful.

[@mikenorris125]

Everyone sings like Dylan when they sing Dylan

[@oscaarghs]

William Zanzinger killed poor Hattie Carroll With a cane that he twirled around his diamond ring finger At a Baltimore hotel society gath’rin’ And the cops were called in and his weapon took from him As they rode him in custody down to the station And booked William Zanzinger for first-degree murder But you who philosophize disgrace and criticize all fears Take the rag away from your face Now ain’t the time for your tears William Zanzinger, who at twenty-four years Owns a tobacco farm of six hundred acres With rich wealthy parents who provide and protect him And high office relations in the politics of Maryland Reacted to his deed with a shrug of his shoulders And swear words and sneering, and his tongue it was snarling In a matter of minutes on bail was out walking But you who philosophize disgrace and criticize all fears Take the rag away from your face Now ain’t the time for your tears Hattie Carroll was a maid of the kitchen She was fifty-one years old and gave birth to ten children Who carried the dishes and took out the garbage And never sat once at the head of the table And didn’t even talk to the people at the table Who just cleaned up all the food from the table And emptied the ashtrays on a whole other level Got killed by a blow, lay slain by a cane That sailed through the air and came down through the room Doomed and determined to destroy all the gentle And she never done nothing to William Zanzinger But you who philosophize disgrace and criticize all fears Take the rag away from your face Now ain’t the time for your tears In the courtroom of honor, the judge pounded his gavel To show that all’s equal and that the courts are on the level And that the strings in the books ain’t pulled and persuaded And that even the nobles get properly handled Once that the cops have chased after and caught ’em And that the ladder of law has no top and no bottom Stared at the person who killed for no reason Who just happened to be feelin’ that way without warnin’ And he spoke through his cloak, most deep and distinguished And handed out strongly, for penalty and repentance William Zanzinger with a six-month sentence Oh, but you who philosophize disgrace and criticize all fears Bury the rag deep in your face For now’s the time for your tears

[@JUANLUSG]

Yeah, I know. But I think that in this case it's important to keep the music raw and simple, so you can focus on the story of the song, like Dylan's early recordings. This is not just a song, this is a poem. Dylan's lyrics are in another dimension.

[@DominaMaria]

@chippywren67 herehere. theres a small but solid number of musicians out there keeping some decency in the backbone of an industry i can't help but believe is corrupted by money and fame addicts. BRMC is one, strumming just under the radar. \m/

[@tendeadrecords]

thats amaze!

[@Visibore]

I just love BRMC

[@mdecker303]

how can I get an .mp3 for this? Bob Dylan rocks and so do these guys! BRMC is soooo underrated.

[@mrgreanjeans]

not bad...good to see that people are covering some of the more obscure bob dylan songs(meaning ones you dont hear on the radio)

[@keybomba]

no amems esta rola me hace llorar!!

[@vosjeroen]

Agree!!

[@FWNiightmare]

Zantzinger was initially charged with murder. His defense was that he had been extremely drunk, and he admitted to no memory of the attack. His charge was reduced to manslaughter and assault. But what I'm i telling you for? You already new what the song was about.

[@fiddelerselbow]

JUANLUSG I think he/she was refering to the musical simplicity of the song......theres about 4 chords in it

[@seonghang2816]

Me gusta!

[@MoonNymph775]

this is a great cover. glad turner did it!

[@odonnell08]

check out the christy moore version by a 1000 miles the most emotional on youtube...

[@supernova1990]

This is a surprisingly good cover.

[@rebelx21]

does brmc usually do acoustic albums? cause this guy definitely should

[@BIGJOHN3212]

i've always dug BRMC, this rules.

[@jhip87]

Precisely right. But, Rob Turner does have talent, you've got to admit.

[@BenjaminZalasky]

yeah... totally 5 chords in this song... I play C, Am, Em on the verses and F, G, C, and Am on the choruses... you can toss a capo on there to make it sound like the original recording....

[@blank3t]

yeah better be! looooooooooool

[@blank3t]

btw this song sounded fucking great in live acoustic!

[@jhip87]

Yeah, this is just another interpretation of his style; it's really interesting in that regard.

[@Calumbo]

This version is ok. Check out Christy Moore's cover. It's fantastic!!

[@anycolouryouwant]

how can you not hear it ? theres five chords in the whole song

[@brmcification]

@satinhooks you say you've known BRMC since they first hit the road? So how can you say he tries to sound like dylan? that's his normal voice, he always sings like that. And there's no main/lead voice in BRMC, both Hayes and Levon write the songs.. Hayes sings the ones he wrote and same for Robert.

[@liquidyodel]

dear brmc try evidently chickentown its your side of the road

[@lwirbel]

Both Robert Turner and Mason Jennings do wonderful covers of this song. 7diablo55, the only thing we might criticize about Turner is sounding too much like Dylan. Dylan, Tom Waits, etc. have great voices. The shitty voices are the well-trained and lifeless ones.

[@rafaelmadferit]

Of course Turner is not Dylan, and the original version of a song is most of time the best one. But I think he made a good job. I mean, this cover is beautiful.

[@dylan3058]

he does a good job on this, nothin on the original though!

[@ELmia90]

is this a ray ban?

[@j3ohnny]

you need to check out folkhippie500 he can sing dylan like nobody ive seen!!!check'em out!!!

[@brmcification]

@GuitarAntiHeroe You're right about his voice and all, but PLEASE: lead guitarist?? OCCASIONAL backup vocals???? No no no. Weapon of Choice? Robert. Weight Of the World? Robert. Sympathetic Noose? Robert. The Line? Robert. And so on... And they BOTH play on almost every song the guitar. (almost!) Sorry if I get a bit carried away. No offens.^^

[@fernandinhomarchs]

de repente se le salen unos guallitos pero le quedo chido el cover

[@JUANLUSG]

Simplicity???????? Have you heard the lyrics????? He sang this song three days ago in Madrid, I was in the first row, so near he almost hit me with his bass neck. It was a great show!!!!

[@JerrysCorner]

Oh come on. Dylan influenced nearly everyone that followed him (whether they know it or not). What's wrong with paying a little homage to him by covering one of his songs?! Great cover! Although many can sing better that Dylan, not all can emote like he can.

[@oldboy194]

easy

[@Schadenfreude24]

Hm. It sounds very similar to the original, so I take it you find the original bland as well?

[@7diablo55]

And people say that Dylan has a poor voice...

[@Ben1338605]

Is no one going to comment on this guy's sunglasses? Its bad enough when people covering Bob try to sing just like him. A Bod Dlyan cover should not be a Bob Dylan imitation. Not a terrible cover, though.

[@AzlanCollective]

i c wut u did thar

[@FWNiightmare]

haha okay, fair enough.

[@AzlanCollective]

zomgroflcopter?

[@TheStereoField]

haha

[@stelvis40]

ha ha

[@annwnevelyn]

support the attempt but not my taste :[ i apologize... it just feels rock starish...his voice feels hard - not crying this beautiful song. its cool that he covered it tho.

[@Cmy99ss]

great cover, but this song just isn't complete to me without the harmonica and the feel of dylan

[@ddirt80]

@HolgerHelfert : Going to have to disagree with you there. Dylan can certainly play guitar, have you ever listened to Dylan records, or do you just saying things you've heard before? Also, one of the most original voices ever, you really think Robert Levon Been is a better singer than Dylan is? You're nuts.

[@prospectnyc]

893 needs to learn how to properly capture the sound of acoustic guitars. All of these videos are awesome except for the SOUND of the guitar. UGH

[@aidyquinn]

that better be sarcasim

[@JonnoMcConnell]

I don't. As much as there's an emotive quality to the singing and lyricism... I can't help but feeling there's something a little anachronistic about singing these political ballads now. Even if such political inequalities and injustices exist in modernity - it's the narrative that can't replicated from Dylan's original.

[@HeartbreakingBravery]

LMFAO - I'm sorry, but singling out vocals in the case of Dylan covers is a little ridiculous. Now, I love Dylans vocals but they didnt have too much range or control. So, I'm not really sure what you're talking about.

[@DarkAndMartyr]

he doesnt have to try and sing like Dylan tho :/

[@bslz65]

sounds like the kooks

[@HeartbreakingBravery]

So you think there's absolutely no one in prison that's been wrongfully accused? Or gotten into trouble with the law because of a person of higher influence influencing the law? Nice try. Grow up.

[@AzlanCollective]

(Didn't ask) (Don't care) (K) (Thx)

[@omgitsn1cole]

lay slain by the cane genious ^^ obviously, you are not "genious" seeing as it's spelled genius.

[@deathshead357]

pretty average cover here. I'm sure many people could do a much better job: 2:19. is he taking the piss here? Haaaaatteeee carroll, sounds like that guy from police academy.

[@oldboy194]

why would he cover this song? its a poor derivative

[@applewarrior]

Not true. Bob Dylan can't sing. He's a great song writer though.

[@31kdub31]

these guys are damn good but this is fuggin terrible ...painful to listen to ...i dont knw what u guys are smokin for this to sound good its almost like he dumbed down his voice on purpose to sound like dylan thus insulting the genius himself...two thumbs way down

[@tornros]

Agreed!
