I'm not a fan of covers which are then written off as an artist's "own song", and I'm pissed off with Devlin and his stupid rapping ruining a classic. Originally Bob Dylan's track which was then covered by the late Jimi Hendrix, has now taken bits of both versions and made its own. I mean, I love the guitar riff used in the background and I love the way Sheeran sings the chorus, but Devlin himself single-handedly ruined this potential hit with rap. Rap rarely works with rock (especially old rock) and I liked this until he opened his mouth. Some things should be left to the greats.
Rating: 5/10
