To mark what would have been his 74th birthday, David Bowie’s team is sharing today two previously unreleased cover versions of John Lennon and Bob Dylan tracks a single.
The unearthed covers are of Lennon’s “Mother” and Dylan’s “Tryin’ To Get To Heaven,” both of which were recorded back in 1998. While it may not have the primal screaming of the original, Bowie balanced pain and tenderness in his vocal performance that makes this a very worthy cover (and my favorite of the two that are being released).
Stream David Bowie’s rendition of the John Lennon and Bob Dylan songs below.
The 7” single is limited to 8147 numbered copies, 1000 of which will be on cream coloured vinyl, purchasable from the official David Bowie store and Warner Music’s Dig! Store only. The remainder will be black.
