One of my favorite Dylan tunes along with Don't Think Twice, it's All RightStranger said:
Maybe Van's best cover of Dylan
Cool stuff! I can listen to anything Mark Knopfler plays; one of my guitar heroes. I also absolutely love his guitar. A vintage 1937 nickel-plated resonator, a style O National guitar with palm tree etchings. Gorgeous sound and a beautiful instrument!william said:

"Done With Bonaparte"
We've paid in hell since Moscow burned
As Cossacks tear us piece by piece
Our dead are strewn a hundred leagues
Though death would be a sweet release
And our Grande Arme is dressed in rags
A frozen starving beggar band
Like rats we steal each other's scraps
Fall to fighting hand to hand
Save my soul from evil, Lord
And heal this soldier's heart
I'll trust in thee to keep me, Lord
I'm done with Bonaparte
What dreams he made for us to dream
Spanish skies, Egyptian sands
The world was ours, we marched upon
Our little Corporal's command
And I lost an eye at Austerlitz
The sabre slash yet gives me pain
My one true love awaits me still
The flower of the Aquitaine
Save my soul from evil, Lord
And heal this soldier's heart
I'll trust in thee to keep me, Lord
I'm done with Bonaparte
I pray for her who prays for me
A safe return to my belle France
We prayed these wars would end all wars
In war we know is no romance
And I pray our child will never see
A little Corporal again
Point toward a foreign shore
Captivate the hearts of men
Save my soul from evil, Lord
And heal this soldier's heart
I'll trust in thee to keep me, Lord
I'm done with Bonaparte
If you've ever been fortunate enough to hear him play this live (the slower version), it's rapturous...forza orsi said:

I always thought that it was cool in that video that they had Roy Orbison's guitar rocking in the chair while they played. Nice tribute, good song.Roy Rogers said:

Oh Well by Fleetwood Mac from the Peter Green days, before they went more pop. Back in the day I used to stock groceries at Randall's, back when the store closed at 10. We usually started the shelf stocking around 9 and the customers left at 10 and the manager around 10:30. As soon as he left, we'd crank up the radio to full volume on the store PA system and rock out while we worked. This is one of the songs I remember over the middle of the night Randall's PA system most. I still love this song and still own the album. Part II was the first classical guitar solo I ever heard and it also got me hooked on that, giving me a lot of years of fun playing classical.
Former Fleetwood Mac guitarist Danny Kirwan died Friday. He was a member the band in the early period, for the first five albums. He's on guitar on this song along with Peter Green.Stranger said:forza orsi said:

Excellent song. Remember it well.
