To see more, visit DON GONYEA, HOST: There's been no shortage of musicians who've covered Bob Dylan songs over the years - Jimi Hendrix, Old Crow Medicine Show, Emmylou Harris, Tracy Chapman. The list could probably go on for a year. A new take on Mr. Dylan's music is from rhythm and blues powerhouse Bettye LaVette. (SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "THINGS HAVE CHANGED") BETTYE LAVETTE: (Singing) In a minute now, I'm expecting all hell to break loose. People are crazy... GONYEA: This is Bettye LaVette's first album on a major label in 30 years. It's all Dylan, and it's called "Things Have Changed." Bettye LaVette joins me now from the studios of W Biggio in Newark, New Jersey. Ms. LaVette, welcome to the program. LAVETTTE: Thank you, Don. I'm glad to be here with you. GONYEA: So I should actually begin with full disclosure here. I am a bit of a Bob Dylan obsessive, and I'm quite certain that most of the songs that you've chosen won't be familiar at all to people who aren't Dylan
