Classic Songs #17-Bob Dylan’s Shelter from the Storm
Adam has long had a fondness for Bob Dylan and for some reason this song – Shelter from the Storm surfaced in the memory banks today.
Great song which Adam remembers from the original release in the 1970s.
“Shelter from the Storm” is a song by Bob Dylan, released on his 15th studio album Blood on the Tracks in 1975. The song also appears on two live albums by Bob Dylan — “Hard Rain” in 1976 and “At Budokan” in 1978. The song also appears in the film Jerry Maguire (1996), as well as the Alias episode Trust Me.
The song has been covered by Manfred Mann’s Earth Band, released on their 1996 studio album Soft Vengeance. Jimmy Lafave recorded the song on his 1992 live record “Austin Sklykine”. The song has also been covered by jazz singer Cassandra Wilson on “Belly of the Sun”.
Soul Flower Union as 嵐からの隠れ家 (Arashi kara no kakurega) covered the song on their 2002 studio album Love ± Zero.
In 2006, English singer, songwriter Steve Adey reinterpreted the song, slowing it down to funeral pace. Adey’s version made the Times top songs of 2006 per Wikipedia
Whilst really liking the Dylan version, Adam has a fondness for Manfred Mann’s cover as well.
