I'm Not There (I'm at Work)

I Finally saw I'm Not There this past weekend. In short, I dug it. I think you need to have a fair knowledge of Dylan to appreciate all of the interpretations (young black child), and you should be able to tolerate artsy weirdness, but it is a good movie.

I'm bringing this up because I am in love with a song on the soundtrack. "Goin' to Acapulco" covered here by Jim James and Calexico, is an ultimate jam. The original song is from Dylan & The Band's infamous Basement Tapes sessions, it is loose but the songwriting is there as always. The cover, is incredible. Jim James' voice and a great horn section turn a bland demo into something powerful.
