Turn up the speakers, dance around the room, improve your politics-blighted week. This is the first version I’ve heard that I like better than the original. Even though lots of folks have covered it, this one will blow your aging mind if you’ve a mind left to be blown. Especially when they really turn it on.
And… that’s it for me for today. I’m going out to get a life. You get one too.

That was a total delight!!! Thank you.
Loud…Then louder. Wonderfulness added. Then louder again.
They sing now, not realizing what we’ve all left for them down the road.
Poor little fuckers…..
Talent in youth is one of my favorite things. Brings to mind The Byrds’ version.
By a happening of serendipity, the children led me to listen to Mozambique by Dylan.
Have great weekend!
I never knew that Dylan was a 8 year old girl singing.
What a treat.
The kids are our future, just like we were.
Things are going to be OK.
I’ve been waiting half a century for that. I am fulfilled.
I find the most wonderful things here, Gerard. Thank you!
Those vocals are incredible! They were having fun with it too, especially Jessie the lead singer whose voice is so rich and pure.
Definitely sending this to family and friends. Young kids in 2019 paying homage to classic rock songs from the mid-60s — and absolutely owning it!
What year is this from?
Here’s the lead singer singing Ave Maria for the “New Zealand’s Got Talent” show.

What a voice!
Her name is Jessie Hillel and she is Indian, from New Zealand.
In the above video she was about 8-10 and is about 17-18 now, and seems to be gaining some success.
Well at least they can sing. Dylan can’t.
A pure melodic treat. Thank you.
The very best thing about Bob Dylan is that he wrote great songs to be sung by other people.
After weeks of being exposed to Greta’s self righteous indignation…..it was nice to see children enjoying their world…….childlike. Thanks…it made my day.
You do realize that Dylan wrote this song about his *dealer*, don’cha?
What octave was little blondie, Rebecca Jenkins singing in — Childo Soprano? It was angelic; just the most beautiful thing I ever heard
naysayers, thanks for the obligatory buzzkill. Whose service you in? ‘His dealer, he can’t sing’ etc. Where do you get off? Are we there yet?
While there has been speculation that the song is about drugs, particularly with lines such as “take me on a trip upon your magic swirling ship” and “the smoke rings of my mind”, Dylan has denied the song is about drugs. Though he was smoking marijuana at the time the song was written, Dylan was not introduced to LSD until a few months later.
In August 1964 the Beatles were sitting in their limo waiting for Brian to return when out of nowhere Bob Dylan jumped in and fired up a doob. They all gawked with dinner plate orbs at Dylan as he pulled a huge draw then bent over holding his nose and heaving to keep from coughing. He leaned back in the seat and blew out a pacific cloud across the ceiling and handed it to George who eagerly took it while giggling. Dylan said, “The problem with you guys is that you just don’t smoke enough dope.”
Unrestricted joy.
Thank you GVDL for posting.
Thank you so much, Gerard. Will be sharing this everywhere and just bought the album.
I hope Bob has seen this!
