A cover of the Dylan classic, the song was only a year old but has to be one of the most memorable performances of Morrison’s career.

"It's All Over Now, Baby Blue" is a song written and performed by Bob Dylan and featured on Dylan's his 'Bringing It All back Home' album. The album was released on Columbia Records March 22, 1965.

This would be the last band project to feature Van Morrison. The song can be found on Them's album, 'Them Again' from 1966.

Also on the album we find Van Morrison taking on signature songs by such greats as    James Brown, Ray Charles, Fats Domino and Bobby “Blue” Bland all of which are R&B heroes as we know them.

Them's version influenced many garage bands during the mid-60's.

Beck would later sample the song for his song "Jack Ass" (1996). The song has also been covered by The Byrds, Joan Baez, The Animals, Judy Collins and Joni Mitchell just to name a few.
