Arranged for three acoustic guitars, with a sensational tenor-sax solo from the Belgian horn-player, Alexis Van Eeckhout. Dylan's most romantic ballad, delivered with all the tenderness at my command.

Feel My Love: Michel Griffin Sings Bob Dylan's Finest Lovesongs

Make You Feel My Love

Make You Feel My Love [Bob Dylan]

The opening track from Michel Griffin's album of Bob Dylan's finest lovesongs. The poignant tale of a love affair breaking up, and a reflection on how slender are the threads that bind us ....

Feel My Love

Simple Twist of Fate

Simple Twist Of Fate [Bob Dylan]

The second track on the "Feel My Love" album, this is a very much slower version than Dylan put on "Blonde On Blonde". Let me know what you think .....

I Want You

I Want You [Bob Dylan]

One of the more involved arrangements on the album, this gradually gains in intensity, restarts from zero, only to swell once more to a soaring climax. Such a poignant song, written as Dylan's marriage to Sara was crumbling.

Where Are You Tonight ? (Journey Through Dark Heat)

Where Are You Tonight ? [Bob Dylan]

One of the first truly autobiographical lovesongs Dylan wrote, about the girl he left behind in Minnesota when he went to New York. The treatment is simple, true to the original - just me and my finger-picking guitar.

Girl From The North Country

Girl From The North Country [Bob Dylan]

Is she late or is she never going to show up ? We all know that feeling. What I love about this song is how the melody is so upbeat and the words increasingly desperate. I had fun with the vocals.

Hazel

Hazel [Bob Dylan]

Dylan does longing very well. Many of the songs on this album are about not being in the right place at the right time. A simple arrangement again - just me and my finger-picked guitar.

Tomorrow Is A Long Time

Tomorrow Is A Long Time [Bob Dylan]

You can almost feel the horse swaying beneath me as I pick my way through this delightful song. If the melody is familiar, it's because Dylan borrowed it from Red Sails in the Sunset.

Beyond the Horizon

Beyond The Horizon [Bob Dylan]

He has been hailed as "the new Leonard Cohen", an artist who "combines the dexterity of James Taylor’s guitar work with the genius of Bob Dylan’s poetry". Michel Griffin bought his first guitar at 14 because he noticed girls liked guitar players. He never took a guitar lesson but, under the influence of songwriters like Dylan, Cohen, Paul Simon and Joni Mitchell, he began to write songs that told stories ...

He’s been writing songs ever since. He has performed regularly on BBC radio (where one of his songs was a Pick of the Week) and his career has taken him all over the world, with spells living in Paris, New York and Switzerland.

He finally settled in the Lot valley in SW France, where he runs the critically acclaimed Cahors Folk Club. He performs at venues all over the area, a tune of his was featured in the American film Married Men, and he has recorded 5 CDs.

In concert, Griffin charms his audiences with self-deprecating wit and, like most clowns, he’s alive to pathos. His lyrics share stories and insights, and his accomplished finger-picking is a perfect foil for his smoky, evocative voice.

Griffin's music blends folk and blues with humour and passion--to produce songs that will echo in your heart.
