Mississippi (Bob Dylan song) performer Bob Dylan
Notable cover versions
"Mississippi" has been covered by at least a dozen artists. Among the most notable versions:
Dylan offered the song to Sheryl Crow, who recorded it for her album The Globe Sessions, released in 1998, before Dylan revisited it for Love and Theft. Crow's version reworked the song's melody, phrasing, and arrangement, and has been described contrastingly as "remarkable" and as "forgettable, head-bopping pop".Subsequently, the Dixie Chicks would make it a mainstay of their Top of the World, Vote for Change, and Accidents & Accusations Tours, in an approach that substantially followed Crow's. They officially released a live version from 2003 on their Top of the World Tour: Live album.
Singer-songwriter Ryan Adams covered the song three times in concert between 2001 and 2002.Margaret Glaspy covered it live at a Dylan tribute show in 2022.
