Miley Cyrus's Bob Dylan Cover: Star Releases Video For "You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go"

First Posted: 01/23/2012 5:17 pm   Updated: 01/23/2012 5:17 pm


Okay guys, it's offical -- Miley Cyrus is all grown up. In the "Can't Be Tamed" singer's most mature move yet, she performs heartfelt, country-twinged rendition of the classic song by folk legend Bob Dylan "You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go." The accompanying music video, which was released this morning on Miley's website and Amnesty International's Facebook page, shows a softer side of the singer.

Featuring Johnzo West, the single appears on the album Chimes of Freedom: The Songs of Bob Dylan Honoring 50 Years of Amnesty International. And Miley is in good company -- some of our other favorite performers are also making an appearance on the album, like Darren Criss, who covers "New Morning" with his brother Chuck Criss. Adele also performs a cover of "Make You Feel My Love" and Ke$ha sings "Don't Think Twice, It's Alright."

Miley's new video reminded us how much we love a good cover song, so we've put together a slideshow of some of our all-time favorites, including Keke Palmer's new Michael jackson cover from Joyful Noise, and, duh, Selena Gomez's super-awesome "Super Bass" cover.

Nice job, Miley! I closed my eyes and heard Dolly Parton in places. I suppose you know you could make a gazillion dollars if you switched to country music.

I like almost everyone who has commented was prepared to hate it but I love it. Maybe the smoking and tatoos has made her more talented? Whatever it is I love it and I hope to hear more of this from Ms. Cyrus.

Very nice. I really hope that "hippie" think is making a comeback. It's time to tone down warring and negativity. The generation approaching or newly entered in to adulthood can make it happen and save the planet.
Rock on.

I thought she did a very nice job on the song - as much as I hate to admit it - I wasn't familiar with this song - I also liked the video in the old house - she has a nice voice - I need to put a couple patches on her jeans - wonder if you can still get the iron on ones??
