Dylan Revisited


The man behind the smash success of Amy Winehouse and Lily Allen has recently put his remix prowess to work on a Bob Dylan classic. Today's It-DJ, Mark Ronson, has become the first to get the stamp of approval from Dylan himself to rework one of his songs. Now before you get all worked up that someone would dare to alter the great work of Robert Zimmerman, let us say that no one holds Dylan in higher esteem than we at Airbag Radio. That said, Ronson's remix of "Most Likely You'll Go Your Way (And I'll Go Mine)" is pretty good. (We should also note that we at Airbag aren't usually fond of remixes.) Too often, remixes focus all attention on the remix and ignore the essence of what made the original, well... the original. Ronson's "Re-Version" walks, or rather, dances the fine line between creating something new yet maintaining respect for the masterpiece. Kicking drums and blasting horns serve to compliment Dylan's cool delivery rather than drown it out. But don't take our word. Check out the track at www.dylan07.com. If you like what you hear you can grab more Ronson remixes, including Coldplay's "God Put A Smile On Your Face" and Radiohead's "Just," via the iTunes link below.
