Ferry's first hit was with a Dylan song, and he has paid tribute to Bob's music ever since. Here's a version of another well-known Dylan song, It's All Over Now, Baby Blue:
Ferry covers on his Dylanesque album (2007) include:
All Along The Watchtower
All I Really Want To Do
If Not For You
Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues
Positively 4th Street
Knocking On Heaven's Door
Simple Twist Of Fate
The dylandaily.blogspot.com (from dylandaily.com) seems pretty positive about Ferry's cover album, calling the album a 'must-buy for all fans of Ferry/Roxy Music and many in Dylan’s fanbase (count me in, twice over). Although the cognoscenti regard all the Ferry solo releases as inferior to all the Roxy Music albums, his cover versions - including Dylan’s A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall on his first solo album, in 1973 – generally garner high praise.' This is a 1976 version of this song, which I happen to like quite a lot:
