^ Good choice! Brian Ferry has quite a talent for making cover versions with a subtle new twist, though I like them better when he selects them from left field, like "These Foolish Things". I really don't like his Dylan covers at all.

This song benefits from being excellent in the original, but PY and his backing singers bring something fresh to an old classic, imo:-
