“All I can do is be me, whoever that is.” ~ Bob Dylan
“Hurricane” was written by Dylan with Jacques Levy, and is about the imprisonment of fighter Rubin “Hurricane” Carter, an American-Canadian middleweight boxer, wrongfully convicted of murder and released from prison after spending nearly 20 years incarcerated. The song was released on Dylan’s album Desire in January 1976.

I didn’t know that anyone covered “Hurricane,” nor am I familiar with this group. What a treat. Fantastic.

Thanks, Connie! It’s long, but a very good cover. I had wanted to choose “Hurricane” for my ‘H’ post, so I was glad to find this one.

I did love this song…..now? It’s harder to hear. After Carter got out of jail, I believed he murdered someone who helped frame him. Strange world!
