They performed it live on radio as part of a Dylan tribute called "Oh Merci", broadcast on KCRW radio, Santa Monica, CA, on 04 Jul 1993. Thanks to Gil Walker for this quote from Don Was: "There's one song that we wrote with Bob Dylan when I was producing "Under the Red Sky." We were sitting around watching "I Dream of Jeannie" in the lounge, and I thought, 'This was kind of a waste. You work all your life to be able to hang out with your hero and then you end up watching "I Dream of Jeannie."' So at the time, my wife [then in A&R for Virgin Records] had signed Paula Abdul so she was about to record her second album. So I said, 'Let's write a song for Paula Abdul.' So Bob shut the TV off and he, David and I wrote "MR. ALICE DOESN'T LIVE HERE ANY MORE." Thanks to Harold Lepidus for news that the song is now included on the Was (Not Was) Rykodisc album "Boo!"

| STILL THE SAME | Bob Seger, 1978 | |
| Thanks to Ian Woodward and Tim Dunn for information about Bonnie "Guitar" Buckingham's 1989 US 7" single STILL THE SAME (Playback Records B-75714) which is credited to Bob and copyrighted to Dwarf Music, ASCAP. One country music web-site lists this single in their Bonnie Guitar discography as being with Bob Dylan. In fact the song is by Bob SEGER, from his 1978 Capitol album "Stranger In Town", so Bob Dylan did not write the song and does not appear on Bonnie's performance.

front scan by Manuel García Jara with
STRALING [RADIATION], their cover of BLOWIN'
IN THE WIND with anti-nuclear lyrics
| STRALING [RADIATION] | Bob Dylan/Megafoons [Megaphones], 1983 | |
This song is
BLOWIN' IN THE WIND
from "The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan" with new anti-nuclear lyrics.
Megafoons were a post-punk band from Utrecht (Holland) and this was
their second EP. The front sleeve has the image of Anne Frank over a
nuclear explosion and it has the title "Stop Kruisraketten [Stop Cruise
Missiles]" The A-side has the title "Anti Nuklear Side" and track 2, "Straling" ("Radiation" in Dutch), is a partial cover of
Blowin' In The Wind. The Dutch lyrics are an anti-nuclear adaptation of
Blowin' In The Wind, with the identical song structure: several verses
with questions and a chorus with no answers, e.g.
The verses have a different tune, but the music of the chorus is identical to Blowin' In The Wind. There are no composer credits for any track, but the insert says "Dank aan ...Bob Dylan voor inspiratie tegen kruisvluchtwapens, straling en fascisme [Thanks to ... Bob Dylan for inspiration against cruise missiles, radiation and fascism]". Thanks to Manuel García Jara for information and scan |

| STRANGE RAIN | 1961 | N? |
| Reported in Izzy Young's diary "Other Scenes", published 1968, as having been written during a visit to Toronto in December 1961 with Gil Turner, and played to Izzy Young at the Folklore Center in New York on 07 Feb 1962 - evidence points against this being an early version of IT’S A HARD RAIN GONNA FALL, released on "The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan", as that was written in New York in September, 1962 | ||

 50th Anniversary Collection 1973(Columbia/Legacy/Sony Music Europe, 2023) - CD release with Bob's version of SWEET AMARILLO (1) |
| SWEET AMARILLO (1) | Donna Terry Weiss, 1973 | S |
| Out-take from "Pat Garrett & Billy The
Kid", recorded Burbank Studios, Los Angeles, CA, Feb 1973, only
1:15 in length. Glen Dundas
lists it as
“traditional” in his "Tangled Up In Tapes" 1994 edition (he doesn't list
songwriters from his 1999 edition onwards), but there is a Bible
Belt Music BMI copyright by Donna Weiss, one of the
"Pat Garrett & Billy The Kid"
backing singers, who later sang the song nightly on tour with the 1976
leg of the Rolling Thunder Revue, sometimes listed on bootlegs as
TEARS ON MY PILLOW (SWEET AMARILLO).
Her performance of the song from New
Orleans, LA, 3 May 1976, can be heard on the Internet
here, and
the performance from Mobile, AL, 29 Apr 1976, is also available online.
SWEET AMARILLO (1)
was recorded by Brenda Patterson, another
"Pat Garrett & Billy The Kid"
backing singer, on her 1974 US album "Like Good Wine", Discreet Records
DS 2211, with the song credited to Donna Weiss. Thanks to Giuseppe Gazerro for drawing
my attention to the fact that some sources think Bob had a hand in
writing this song,
although no Dylan copyright is listed in Tim Dunn's "The Bob Dylan
Copyright Files". Finally released by
Bob on "The 50th
Anniversary Collection 1973", Dec 2023, where the song is credited
exclusively to Donna Terry Weiss, settling that issue. Donna Terry Weiss is a noted songwriter in her own right, most famous for writing the Grammy Award-winning 1981 Kim Carnes hit BETTE DAVIS EYES with Jackie de Shannon in 1974, but she also wrote THE CRIPPLED CROW for Booker T. and Priscilla Jones (sister of Rita Coolidge, who recorded the same song with husband Kris Kristofferson on their 1974 Monument album "Breakaway") for their 1973 A&M "Chronicles" album on which Bob plays harmonica (R-0094, see 1973). Thanks to Tim Dunn for information that there are US copyright transfers for SWEET AMARILLO (1) for Donna Weiss for Bible Belt Music/Blackwood Music for 19 Jun 1978, and again for Donna Weiss Music/Bible Belt Music, 12 Aug 1982. Donna recorded two albums of her own songs for Strawlight Music - "Rainbow Colors" in 1983, and "Harvest" in 1988, but neither contain SWEET AMARILLO (1) |

| SWEET AMARILLO (2) | Bob Dylan/Ketcham Secor/Critter/Fuqua, 2014 | S |
Thanks to "Isis" magazine #174 and Tim Dunn for information that Old Crow Medicine Show, who recorded a version of WAGON WHEEL from the "Pat Garrett & Billy The Kid" sessions on their 2004 Nettwork Records album "O.C.M.S." (see the "W" page), have recorded an extended version of SWEET AMARILLO (2) for their new album "Remedy" (ATO Records ATO00239, USA, 1 Jul 2014), on which the track is credited to "Dylan/Secor/Fuqua" (Ketcham Secor and Critter Fuqua are OCMS band members), and copyrighted to Special Rider Music (SESAC) and Blood Donor Music (BMI). This track was also available as a download from Amazon, iTunes, etc., from 29 Apr 2014, and also as the A-side of a 7" stereo single. The new copyright means this must be a significantly different version of the song from the one copyrighted and sung by Donna Weiss (and finally released by Bob in 2023)! I have therefore given it a separate entry and called them SWEET AMARILLO (1) and SWEET AMARILLO (2). "Remedy" won the Grammy Award for "Best Folk Album" of 2014 in Feb 2015! Incidentally, the front design of the CD is the Tennessee State Flag |
