It's been quite Mary Chainy round here recently and I was going to leave it alone but then this appeared on the mp3 player on the way to work- Jim Reid's solo cover of If You Gotta Go, Go Now. It's nicely understated, sounding like a good demo rather than a polished song, just Jim and guitar mainly. It's a Bob Dylan song- you knew that didn't you?- written in 1964 but not recorded by Bob til a year later. It's been covered by scores of people- the Flying Burrito Brothers, Manfred Mann, Fairport Convention (in French), Johnny Hallyday (in French presumably) and Cowboy Junkies.
