New in the DylanCover.com collection: Shirley Jacobs


Die antwort weiss ganz allein der wind (Blowin' In The Wind)
Tomorrow Is A Long Time
Mr. Tambourine Man
Shirley Jacobs
Endless Highways
LP: Crest CRT-12-SLP-018; 1967 (Australia)

More covers from Australia, a rare 1967 album by folk singer Shirley Jacobs. Besides the 3 Dylan songs, the album is a collection of Irish, Scottish, and French-Canadian ballads, Yiddish & Hebrew lullabies, House Of The Rising Sun, and other international folk songs. Oddly, the other tracks include short comments but the Dylan songs only show his name, except for the "translation by Bradtke" for Blowin' In The Wind that is sung partially in German, the last verse is English. Tomorrow Is A Long Time and Mr. Tambourine Man are nice, standard folk arrangements.
Shirley Jacobs also included Blowin' In The Wind on her 1975 album Songs of Love & Freedom. I don't know if it is a different recording, or possibly an all-English version. Further info about that LP would be appreciated.
