In keeping with the spirit of the moment, Mellencamp posts new version of Dylan classic

John Mellencamp has just made a brilliant home recording of “The Time’s They Are A-Changin’” that has been posted on www.mellencamp.com exclusively. Check it out now...

To hear it, scroll down to the image of John on the right (not politically speaking) -- he’s the guy wearing the horn rimmed glasses -- and hit the “play” button. Note: You’ll have to stop the streaming audio of John’s “Longest Days” or you’ll be hearing two songs at the same time

As Jim Bessman relates in his note that appears below the video “this remarkable moment in our nation’s history has for very many evoked the sense of hope from 40 years ago.”

To those of you who haven't heard Mellencamp's new record, check it out, it's his best in fifteen years.

My previous Mellencamp pieces can be found here.
