Povodom 70 godina od rođenja Vana Morisona, AgitPop predlaže listu TOP 15 naših omiljenih pesama ovog genijalnog muzičara. Napominjemo i da pod obavezno preslušate kompletan album “Astral Weeks” ako to do sada nikada niste učinili. Pesme smo poređali redosledom od petnaeste ka prvoj i najboljoj, ali počinjemo obradom koja je zapravo van (Van:) konkurencije. U pitanju je numera koju je napisao Bob Dilan, a Morison ju je otpevao sa svojim bendom Them. O njegovoj interpretaciji Dilana su se izjasnili kritičari...
15. IT’S ALL OVER NOW BABY BLUE (Bob Dylan Cover)
"Greil Marcus stated in a 1969 Rolling Stone review that "Only on Dylan's 'It's All Over Now, Baby Blue' does Van truly shatter all the limits on his special powers...Each note stands out as a special creation – 'the centuries of emotion that go into a musician’s choice from one note to the next' is a phrase that describes the startling depth of this recording. Played very fast, Van's voice virtually fighting for control over the band, 'Baby Blue' emerges as music that is both dramatic and terrifying." In recent years, author Clinton Heylin has noted that Them's 1966 recording of the song is "that genuine rarity, a Dylan cover to match the original."
