#DYLANCOVERS #1 - Ronnie Drew & Eleanor Shanley

Ronnie Drew & Eleanor Shanley - Restless Farewell & The Parting Glass

"...likes a cigar.."

So that is where Dylan borrowed the idea and melody from the song the 'Parting Glass' and it features on their album "A Couple more years" (2001).  I Just Love this one, the contrast between Eleanor's fragile vocals and the rough broge of Ronnie's (Dubliners) voice. This has always been one of my favourite Dylan songs from the 'Times they are a Changin' album. Its about Dylan ready to move on to new pastures electric as well as past loves and friends...'and the corner sign says its closing time'.

I Think its time I moved on.
