when we got Rolling Thunder Revue videos on youtube, with Dylan and everything, why in the hell would I listen to this... is not a bad version, but man, listen to the 1976 versions...
user
a disaster!!

Yes. It's quite a buzzkill to go from Rolling Thunder Revue to this. Maybe I would be more forgiving if it was some random fan, but I don't know why the hell they are doing this. There's a haunting beauty to Dylan's work and this just fel like a generic attempt at trying to seem hide the fact that they are just as formulaic as the next dime a dozen screamer band.
user
haunting...yes....beauty....no ...Dylan's chortling is painful
user
From your SN I get the feeling you are biased. Most people don't appreciate Dylan's voice... funny how he's still a legend without a marketable voice. No disrespect to the OP, but I don't think The White Stripes will be remembered as long.
user
the "haunting beauty" you are referring to exists within both studio versions of this song. Including your precious Bob Dylan, when bands sing song over and over night after night, they sometimes tend to lose their effect. Bob Dylan probably sang his own songs with this very same lack of precision and care. Judging a band by one performance of one song is nothing short of ignorant. And a screamer band? The fact that you classify them as such makes me wonder if you know anything about them.

Best live performance of this song(by the Stripes) I've found on youtube. Thanks for sharing.

Lyrics:
Your breath is sweet
Your eyes are like two jewels in the sky.
Your back is straight, your hair is smooth
On the pillow where you lie.
But I don't sense affection
No gratitude or love
Your loyalty is not to me
But to the stars above.
One more cup of coffee for the road
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go
To the valley below.
Your daddy he's an outlaw
And a wanderer by trade
He'll teach you how to pick and choose
And how to throw the blade
He oversees his kingdom
So no stranger does intrude
His voice it trembles as he calls out
For another plate of food
One more cup of coffee for the road,
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go
To the valley below
Your sister sees the future
Like your mama and yourself
You've never learned to read or write
There's no books upon your shelf.
And your pleasure knows no limits
Your voice is like a meadowlark
But your heart is like an ocean
Mysterious and dark
One more cup of coffee for the road,
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go
To the valley below
Your breath is sweet
Your eyes are like two jewels in the sky.
Your back is straight, your hair is smooth
On the pillow where you lie.
But I don't sense affection
No gratitude or love
Your loyalty is not to me
But to the stars above.
One more cup of coffee for the road
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go
To the valley below.
Your daddy he's an outlaw
And a wanderer by trade
He'll teach you how to pick and choose
And how to throw the blade
He oversees his kingdom
So no stranger does intrude
His voice it trembles as he calls out
For another plate of food
One more cup of coffee for the road,
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go
To the valley below
Your sister sees the future
Like your mama and yourself
You've never learned to read or write
There's no books upon your shelf.
And your pleasure knows no limits
Your voice is like a meadowlark
But your heart is like an ocean
Mysterious and dark
One more cup of coffee for the road,
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go
To the valley below
