New Bob Dylan Video - "Most Likely You Go Your Way (And I'll Go Mine) (Mark Ronson Re-Version)"

The promo campaign on this year's DYLAN box set has been a Zimmerman's delight of goodies. The site's had cute little extras, pics, etc., but make room for two more. First and foremost, we finally have the clip corresponding to that "it's raining Dylans in Brooklyn" video shoot for Ronson's re-version of "Most Likely...," featuring a stroll through the '60s 'n' '70s with Bob-a-likes, Wyclef, Dap Kings, but no actual Bobby D.

As an added bonus, now you can remix the "Subterranean Homesick Blues" vid with your own messages! Yeah, you're not getting anything else done this afternoon.

We made one for ya, in honor of America. Click here to check it, and be sure to post links to yours.

it's a great song, and always will be. but what is 're-versioned' besides 20% more backbeat and a couple horns? god, what a song though

I find that people either dig what Ronson does or absolutely abhor it. For me, any increase in backbeat is a good increase, and the horns fill in for the organ which I always thought was unfairly low in the original mix. So, I dig on it. Either you dig funkier versions of the songs you like or you hate it. I guess I fall in with the former. Could do without the squeally horn showing up every so often, but thats minor.

i mean, i get the whole concept of "you go your way and i'll go mine" with the whole different dylan personas, but...thats a pretty shitty video.

mr stafford, i think my problem is that his name is on it at all. his contribution should amount to an asterisk that you have to search six wint'ry seasons on the google to find.

of course, dylan had to sign off on the thing in the first place, so what do i know. maybe mark will be dylan's new bandleader, ushering in a much-lauded new era for dylan featuring 20% more backbeat.

In this day and age though, that asterisk is a big deal. As perpetuated by sites like this, who is involved in what is picked apart, analyzed, lauded and ballyhooed. The days of looking through liner notes to find out someone put their touch on something is over. We know (because lets be fair there isn't that much music stuff to talk about in a day) who's playing a little piano on this and who put finishing touches on that. If a newer name like Ronson is at all attached to a name like Dylan, you'll hear about it, whether its a little or a lot of involvement on his part. But Ronson got the multi-tracks from Dylan (or Dylan's people) to do as he pleased, so that in turn makes him the key re-version...er(??) of this particular song, thus, name attached. Now, obviously he didn't do a whole lot, but it's clearly a new arrangement, and it clearly has people talking about a Dylan box set that would most likely otherwise be released, relative to this, quietly. So, in the end, leaking the Ronson version, is a marketing move, and not a complete disaster, which it had opportunity to be. Soooo.....yeah.

Maybe I'm late, or simple, but is he saying "Im gonna lick your ass?"

I think it's somewhere in the middle. No doubt people are interested in who did what, but it's about the branding too. You got tracks "produced by Rick Rubin" in which he never even touched a mixing board... the thing with Mark Ronson is that every track of his I like has that same horn section that plays with Amy Winehouse. He's clearly a good horn arranger, but is he that good that he deserves complete credit for that 20% more funk?

and that squealy horn is totally a "Jump Around" ripoff (or whoever they sampled).

I don't even know if I'm joking anymore.

@internet gangsta:
it's "I'm gonna let you pass"
I came here searching for the same thing. It would have been cool though.
