mattkollarandtheangrymob.bandcamp.com Railroad Gin presents, Bob Dylans "The Ballad of Hollis Brown". I figured that every now and then I would put up more than one song a week on the blog, kind of like a Railroad Gin extra. So this is "The Ballad of Hollis Brown" off of the Dylan record "The Times They Are AChangin". A beautiful and violent song about, starvation, desperation and murdersuicide. What could be more fun? Also, check out this great website, this is where I always go to learn dylan songs. dylanchords.info It has all the lyrics and chords for Hollis Brown.

On this day in 1962 {September 22nd} Bob Dylan played Carnegie Hall as part of an "All-Star Hootenanny"…
In some quarters it is believed that it was at this show that he first performed "Ballad of Hollis Brown"…
The song was on Side one/Track two of his 1964 LP "The Times Are A-Changin’"…

Rise Against cover is better i think : )
This is amazing dude, one of the best covers of this I’ve ever heard!
The Dolbro Dan version is by far the best on youtube, but this one is pretty good aswell.
somwhere on the floor or glovebox of the cool kids van theres a mix tape on side 2 of the mix tape theres a 1973 version of this song by Nazerth thats much louder and prouder but it wouldnt exist without Bob
It’s difficult to find any Bob Dylan originals on youtube these days. It’s all covers.
Nazareth cover? Genius
awesome cover
Hope you did’nt take offence? Just thought it would sound more sad. btw, have you heard Nazarereth’s version? Get my drift?
Thanks, yea, good tip.
Thanks very much, I dig your songs as well.
You have the only good cover of this song here.
Nice cover, try slowin it down to get the full affect, such a sad song.
