I'm not the biggest Van Morrison fan, but I think he gets the prize for the greatest straight-out cover of a Dylan song.

Close. I'd give it to The Grateful Dead for their cover of the same song, "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue", off of their BD cover album "Postcards of the Hanging".

Wow. I had assumed that Bonnie Raitt's sleepwalk through 'Baby Blue' was the absolute worst cover of that Dylan tune.

Hole did a cover of the Morrison cover which I dislike immensely (the Hole cover of the cover that is, not Morrison's). I didn't necessarily like the fact that Morrison didn't use all the lyrics, nor did I like the music that much. Though, he does definitely sing it the best IMO.

I had no idea that Bonnie Raitt covered the song. Does anyone know how many covers it has? Or does anyone know what the most covered song is for that matter?

Yeah, he just mixes the last two verses. But meh, who really cares about that except me.
