Dylan famously adapted existing folk songs into his own versions. I'm becoming fascinated by the number with a Scottish root.
A couple here to set the ball rolling: "The Walls of Red Wing" is the "Road and Miles to Dundee", and "Pretty Peggy-O" is "The Lassie of Fyvie". Anybody able to add others? Much thanks.

Also, I didn't know that Joan Baez is half Scottish. Puts here alongside Johnny Cash, Elvis, Eddy Cochran, Woody Guthrie, Neil Young and Jack White in "How the Scots Invented Rock n Roll", as far as I'm concerned.
Now, is there any chance Lead Belly or Robert Johnson had a Scottish Granny?Last edited by Phil D. Rolls; 04-03-2012 at 05:03 PM.
