Song of the Day: "Wheel's on Fire" by Siouxsie and the Banshees

 

>>last song

I've only just discovered that my song of the day, "Wheel's On Fire" by Siouxsie and the Banshees is a cover by a song Bob Dylan performed with The Band. that then leads me to understand every song on "Through the Looking Glass"  and consequently many on the live album "Nocturne" are covers. 

Their version of "The Passenger" by Iggy Pop is a revelation, by the way. Anyhow,  I like the Bob Dylan version, the original well. It's very slow and lonesome and western and low-fi. It must have been influential for lonesome-sounding Andrew Byrd. 

But at the moment I prefer Siouxsie's version, probably because I heard it first. It's got momentum.
