Lukas Kowalski - Jokerman (by Bob Dylan)

[@308Keith]

Easily the best cover of Dylan's classic

[@MrThermostatic]

I love this song so much, and always found it impossible to find a decent cover, but this is fantastic!

[@marshallross3373]

Exactly. Frankly Dylan doesn't give it justice live either. There's something about the studio production that really sells this song. I'm thinking it's the deep thumping bass, coupled with the light, airy organ sounds, and some gentle guitar touches that just mesh so well under Dylan's voice. Mr. Kowalski somehow captures the resonance of the studio original, and gives it his own stamp of quality and approach to the voice. Well done!

[@jacobjinglehymer8789]

Couldn't have said it any better!

[@MrFranganito]

Have you heard Caetano Veloso’s 1992 cover of this one. That's best Dylan cover ever imo

[@Nondualstandpoint01]

John Cruz’ cover version is also worth listening to.

[@marlowe2215]

It's two years later, but here's a cover that's beyond decent: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6Gsn6Odh7KIia8

One of my favorite Dylan songs as well, fantastic!

[@gerardhaubert8210]

This is positively spectacular! Thank you. Is there a cd of your talent... If not, make one and include this song

[@lukaskowalski670]

Thanks! There is an album I recorded some years ago with ten originals I wrote, so Jokerman is not included on that one. I'll think about it when I record the next one. Regarding your other question: I was pretty confident that I got the lyrics right, but I did this recording spontaneously and did not look up the lyrics but tried to remember them. So if the words are different from the Infidels version, well that's not on purpose ;)

[@williamcarvalho3406]

excellent.
