And Then She Takes Your Voice
Something about the cast of characters in this song...Hungry women. Saint Annie. My best friend the doctor. Sweet Melinda, the goddess of gloom. The peasants. The cops. The boasting authorities. The sergeant at arms. My brother Carl, who left looking like a ghost. No one to bluff. Tom Thumb.
And, of course, since it's a cover of his song, Bob Dylan.The song below is Nina Simone's version of Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues. Originally, it's track 8 on Highway 61 Revisited. In my opinion, Nina took a cool little poem and turned it into a fully bad ass song.
