Singer-songwriters Laura Marling and Eddie Berman collaborate here on a version of Bob Dylan’s 1965 hit, “Like A Rolling Stone.”
L.A.-based Berman and England’s Marling turn Dylan’s caustic rocker into an introverted, brooding folk song.
It’s a powerful and very different version of this classic, and it will be on Berman’s upcoming album, Polyhymnia, due out October 21, 2014.
Give it a listen.
Marling and Berman previously covered Bruce Springsteen’s “Dancing In The Dark.”
You can listen to Berman’s last album, This Past Storm,here.
