Simply Red covering the late reggae artist Gregory Isaacs with “Night Nurse”...

 

Simply Red covers the 1966 penned song by Homer Banks “Ain’t That A Lot Of Love”...

 

I promise that this is the last Simply Red cover...LOL!!!

 

Simply Red covers Bob Dylan...and personally I could do without the intro of orchestral strings in this arrangement, but thankfully they chill out once the tune gets rollin’...but then the horns come in midway and don’t feel any better…

 

...Thinking that this is one tune that Mick could’ve just left alone as it just doesn’t stylistically feel right for him.

 

I really think that this song belongs to Bob alone with his own signature touch. If anyone else could do better than Bob I’d like to hear it, but I’m doubtful…
