Hey Jesse, I'm not real sure if you read these but I came across your videos the other day and you remind me a lot of a good friend who passed away last fall, your voice, your ideals, even your physical appearance to some extent, though you two do still look different. Anyways, I just know he would love what you're doing and I miss him a lot, I wish I could send these to him. Instead I just listen and find myself sobbing. Thank you for what you're doing, and for making me feel something.
Hey Jesse, I cried when I saw you sing this last week, I listen to this song on my sleep playlist, I have to have music, I would rather sing than eat, music feeds my soul. Thank you so much, for being you, I have already prayed thanks, and tears are streaming down my cheeks again. You make me remember and feel, thank you, you aren’t wasting my precious time…
This is so perfect, it made me cry, I was just 5 or 6 when this was a huge hit for Dylan. I can’t believe I have tickets to see Bob this summer. I am West Coast, I hope Jesse would tour out here.❤❤❤
As a singer/songwriter if I got 80k views on anything I’d posted I’d feel as if I’d went viral. As far as I’m concerned this gives me a slight glimmer of hope. However, Jesse had already been accepted into the music business to some extent before doing these solo acoustic videos so that’s something to consider. It’s hard out here!
@@BenSchillaci I’ve thrown and had more people show up to my shows to you online, storytelling is truly different, I would say for centuries now or even thousands of years people haven’t gotten the recognition they deserve until after they might’ve passed. It’s even more in our faces with social media and news and celebrities, it’s pretty crazy. All love from a fellow nomad musician and a positive energy in this universe!
I saw Bob Dylan live once, this was in the early 00's. He is an icon that spoke for older generations, whose talent and wisdom is still recognised. You, Jesse, with these poiniont songs you have written, have the potential to speak for our generation. I tip my hat to you and hope to someday to see you live with my children.
I created a playlist because I love his music so much. Just his folk music and covers. I didn't add his grunge era. Bob Dylan, Arlo Guthrie and others are my favorite. I was born in '67. ❤ ruclips.net/p/PL1A8hzZDC_NELmTXHFx3uQjKq7D5F1pkj&si=aCqS3ivkK5Ct5kTK
This Jesse, is perfection! 60 years onwards from it’s original release this tune and these words require to be expressed again and that’s why today this is better than Dylan’s original. You’re reflecting timelessness in our time. It really resonates. Thank you!
Just heard of you today. I can’t stop. Then this one came on and you took me way back to s special time in my life. Thank you! Keep it up kid! Your on the right track I appreciate every song I’ve heard so far.
Love how he looks around, looks up, looks side to side, poker face... all the while the guitar pickin' is flowin' like a waterfall, backed with a confident smooth voice somehow with an edge. Hypnotic. All his stuff. Been binge listening.
I love Bob Dylan s music and I love yours. You are a great torch carrier. It's amazing how timeless a song can be. I imagine the more you play that song , hundreds of times on the road to thousands of people, it could change you ? Keep in exploring, and finding who you are ? Thanks for the music !
Just ran across your channel and thought, this guy reminds me of Dylan. Then l saw this one while listenin through. Around 71-72 l was the only person I knew that had the Freewheelin album. Most every time friends would stop by they always wanted me to give it a spin. Thanks for the smokey memories Jesse. Some humorous and thought provoking tunes here. You got my vote dude.
phucken better than the original mate. Thanks man. Keep em coming and don't let anyone discourage you from writing your way. Fat is truth and great piece of art brother. peace out from Melbourne Australia.
This is too good! Honestly this is the first ever cover of a Dylan song that i listened to while actually enjoying it. And this i really did. And now i want more. And I was really digging your originals too, you know! But after hearing this one, just how will i recover, i just dont know. From now on I will eternally crave more Dylan covers from Jesse Wells ( on top of the other ones). Hooked.
I love Bob Dylan so much, growing up my dad was a massive fan of his so I heard a ton of his music through the years. Jesse obviously sounds a lot like Dylan so it's awesome to see him doing these covers!
Dang, you have have the perfect voice for this cover and you killed it with the vocal timings. Great picking as well. Best cover I've heard. Glad you found your niche, brother. Your solo stuff is your greatest work yet.
i have heard most covers of this song that have been posted to youtube. this is one of the few where im shocked by the amazing faithfulness and creativity when playing the tune. amazing work.
You were a new musician to me 2 days ago. Now I’ve seen 10 of your videos. Lovely folk guitar just humming along, sweet rasp and then wow! A lower register like honey. Nice to know you. 😊
He has older stuff on another channel called WELLES I think, it's not folk guitar, it sounds like 90s alternative if you are into that, he used to be a rocker
@@calebbasile2219 I’m aware! I just heard the other first and I’m a classical music major so I’m working on my musical ear 😊 it’s neat to make connections!
@@toomanykatsu oh my bad! Good ear! It is, I love seeing the connections in music, whether in theory, or folks just paying homage to the old folk tradition passed down. Bright eyes has a great take on it, love that song!
Heeeeeeeeey, coolest lil club in RUclips. We've found ourselves a gem, huh? Funny how far he's come. If you're new, first time, delve into his NYC rock stuff. This gentleman is layered. And if youre a regular, hi 😊 good to see you again. As always, thank you for the inspiration, Jesse. I sure hope to be able to return the favor one day. Just keep swimming ✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿 Cheers, everyone.
was watching on of his more recent videos and commented that it would be cool if he sang Bob Dylan's 'Dont Think Twice'. AND THEN! the lovely commenters guided me to this gem
Amazing dude! Your voice is spot on as usual, I was suprprised not to see the harmonica at first, but when I saw you noodling in the breaks I understood why. Impressive guitarrist as well my friend!
You are an American original. Nothing wrong with wearing your influences on your sleeve when the influences are impeccable & the original is dayum good!
The first cover of this song I ever heard was by a guy who you remind me-striking how much you look like him, blows my mind! This is quite a surreal world we live. Love this song so much-summary of his and my relationship-wounding kept him from being able to receive the love I had, so I'm sure it felt I was after his soul. Anyhow...best cover I've heard since. Thank you for sharing, so happy to have stumbled onto you, your extraordinary talent of originals, and covers 💜
I really like his old stuff too, with the band. Def more grunge than metal, but if you listen to his original lyrics, dude is metal af and there is no denying

I'm sorry to hear about your loss :(
He reminds me of my dear friend Gabe that passed as well
Sorry for your loss friend ,life sometimes just seems so unfair ,but it’s better to have those memories instead of not …keep up the good fight man 👍
@@deltamachine2059Not Gabe from Mystic, right?
im so sorry, maybe you were meant to see this (if you believe in that sort of thing lol)
Excellent playin' and singin' as always, Mr. Welles! Cheers to you

Wish I could like this video twice, it’s more than alright.
Please put it on Spotify with your other stuff so I can listen on repeat man!
My friend, you’re the most bob dylan sounding mick jagger lookalike out there. This is a great cover well done
😂😂
Only better!
Making an old song new, feeling it fresh in my heart. Thank you!
The song that young men don't understand, but older men feel in their bones. If only all of us could be as clear as Bob is with our women.
But it wouldn't matter anyways. If they could be self conscious and empathetic, we wouldn't be trying to have that conversation in the first place.
Can't ever sing this song without tearing up and getting a knot in my throat. Glad you can get through it cowboy. Good job
I can’t even listen to it without getting a knot in my throat 😂
It's almost like if John Prine and Bob Dylan had a baby that possessed the body of a Young John Fogerty. Beautiful Rendition
Also, very clean hybrid picking!
That nailed my impression pretty good also.
This is the one i kinda always wanted to hear you sing outside of your own. Beautiful.
This is so perfect, it made me cry, I was just 5 or 6 when this was a huge hit for Dylan. I can’t believe I have tickets to see Bob this summer. I am West Coast, I hope Jesse would tour out here.❤❤❤
Where you seeing him? I live in Washington and hope I can scrounge up the money to see him in August!
I don't know why this rendition brings tears to my eyes, but it definitely does.
How is this dude not viral by now? Old soul genius
Singer-Storytellers haven't been in fashion since the turn of the century, a real shame! But what a cool sound with some HEAVY lyrics!

It's what the world needs now, as it did before....... timeless. Thank you Bob and Jesse.

I know you know.
You sound like a seasoned, old soul.
But you look like an angel. Springtime. Magical .
If mick jagger and Bob Dylan had a kid
He is a handsome Mick Jagger lol it’s awesome
No doubts about that its a woods fact
Gay
With a splash of Jim Morrison!
Love this song! Bob Dylan, then Ramblin Jack Elliott and now you! Keepin that folk tradition going!
It's like 1962 all over again. ♥
Not made for the money, not made for the fame. Just real music made to be real music ❤
Love how he looks around, looks up, looks side to side, poker face... all the while the guitar pickin' is flowin' like a waterfall, backed with a confident smooth voice somehow with an edge. Hypnotic. All his stuff. Been binge listening.
If you're going for the young John Fogerty look... You totally nailed it dude.
I was thinking the same thing.

As one who was a teen in the 60's, you're better than those guys back then....
I hope this never stops, I wake up and watch the new videos now.
Seriously man thank you for voicing our suffering.
Thank you for the little sparks of happiness that each upload brings in this dark cold world 🔥

I hear alot of John Prine in your voice and lyrics brother! Keep rocking!!!🤘🏻🎸🤘🏻🔥🔥🔥
I can't believe I've found you via Facebook reels. Man, can you preach when you sing. So beautiful ❤❤❤
Would love to hear your versions of some Jim Croce songs, you have the perfect style for it c:
phucken better than the original mate. Thanks man. Keep em coming and don't let anyone discourage you from writing your way. Fat is truth and great piece of art brother. peace out from Melbourne Australia.
Jesse’s doing the reverse Bob Dylan, electric to acoustic.
Fucking love this song! I've seen so many versatile covers of it.
I too was thinking this should exist. Man, you nailed it more than I thought you would. Solid!!!!!
Hey Jesse,
Thank you for sharing your light with the world.
You're bringing some beauty into mine today ❤
This is one of my favorite Dylan songs. Great cover!
Yep.
One of my favorite songs of all time. Great cover.
This is one of my favorite songs, I’m so thrilled to see you cover it.
Joni said Bob "borrowed his voice from old hillbillys". Great song and Jesse's the man.
Great raw voice and lots of confidence...

Check out Billy Strings cover of this song, it’s also great
Spanish Boots by mandolin orange was pretty good too
I’m sure Dylan has taken notice. Love this.

Hey cool :) I'm starting in Bangor uni in September. Love wales
love to see a dylan cover always
Thank you for these man you give a lost young man hope
Don't be lost bro, what's got you feeling that way?
Can't find yourself unless you allow yourself some time on the dark side of the road. But go well young man.

This one. This is it for me. It sucked me in before he even sang. The music is beautiful the words even more so. You’re simply amazing
I WAS WAITING FOR THIS
Excellent as always, brother.
Jesse Welles - awesome, original. You look like a young Mick Jagger 🙂
It’s a bob Dylan cover
@@nicholashodgson2301he totally looks like young Jagger with the soul of old Young and unparalleled songwriting capabilities.
You're a refreshing wave of rare modern talent. Thank you
Mick Jagger and Bob Dylan just fused to bring back finger picking to the masses! 💪
i been sayin jagger too... cant not see it
Thank you for the tunes Mr.Jesse. incredible
You've got some serious talent friend. I'm jumping through all your songs now, don't think ill stop anytime soon. Keep em coming bud
This has the same opening chords as First Day of My Life by Bright Eyes! Neat!

Your guitar playing is so good... could listen to it for hours. Another great upload, Jesse :)
You embody whatever your sing. What a gift. Love this and really love your original songs, we need voices like yours. More than we know.
He looks like the young Mick Jagger 😊😉
Thought the same thing!
Mixed with Nick Drake
Indeed, what a resemblance of both gentlemen
Mixed with Jim Morrison
Yes, also
Just amazing!
Beautiful cover. Love this
I believe in you Jesse. The music has been a great inspiration and I love to listen to your songs.
You show good taste in the songs you choose to interpret.
Beautiful job here.
