Old subway musician, of whom I wish I knew more - Baby Can I Hold You (1988 / 2012)

Last night, a man entered the Brooklyn-bound G train with a 12-string guitar. I immediately remembered him covering the same Tracy Chapman song a few months ago and started recording with my iPhone. Sorry for the bad quality.

Johnny Cash - Heart of Gold (1972/2003)

Written by Neil Young, covered by Johnny Cash with Red Hot Chili Peppers’ John Frusciante & Chad Smith. You just can’t miss Smith’s snare drum, nor Frusciante’s melodic guitar solo.

We’re getting close to my fantasy band: just imagine them with Justin Vernon or Fiona Apple to the background vocals and Innocent Criminals’ bassist Juan Nelson, all of them playing Bob Dylan songs.
