Recently I found myself wondering about the covers that Dylan has done
in his career, so I thought I'd go through my listing of recorded
songs, 1960 - 1967, and make up a list. The results are printed below.
I know I should really have gone through 1970, since the period 1968
through 1970 featured MANY covers. But I didn't -- maybe someone can
add those in?
Anyway, here it is. The information comes mostly from Krogsgaard and
I'm not absolutely sure I believe all of the references.

I'm not sure what conclusions to draw from this, especially since the
attributions can be a bit misleading (eg, "Lost Highway" was certainly
known to Dylan through Hank William's version of it, even though it
was written by Leon Payne; likewise "Be Careful of Stones That You
Throw" by Mr Dodd). The "traditional" songs also had arrangements
which Dylan borrowed (from Guthrie, Jesse Fuller, Gary Davis, et al).
In any case, the Guthrie influence certainly shows clearly enough, as
does Dylan's general appreciation of early blues and country music.
As a final note, I might mention that the covers stopped abruptly
during the recording of "Freewheelin", only resuming again with the
Basement Tapes (and flourishing in the Cash sessions and Self
Portrait, which are just outside of the period I'm covering). This
fits with John Howell's suggestion that the feel of "Freewheelin", and
Dylan's career in general, changed during the recording of this album
from Dylan as folk/blues/country singer to Dylan as protest singer.
