SDB 150 – Make You Feel My Love

“Make You Feel My Love”, also known as “To Make You Feel My Love”, is a song written by Bob Dylan for his album Time Out of Mind, released in September 1997. It was first released commercially in August 1997 by Billy Joel for his compilation album Greatest Hits Volume III.

It is one of the few songs to have achieved the status of becoming a “standard” in the 21st century, having been covered by more than 450 different artists. The best known cover versions are ones by Adele, Michael Bolton, Neil Diamond, Elkie Brooks, Boy George, Bryan Ferry, Joan Osborne, Garth Brooks, Kelly Clarkson with Ben Platt, Nick Knowles, and Pink.

Garth Brooks covered the song as “To Make You Feel My Love” in 1998. It appeared on the soundtrack of the 1998 film “Hope Floats”, along with a cover version by Trisha Yearwood (whom Brooks would marry in 2005) as the first and last tracks. Yearwood’s version would be the only version of the song on the soundtrack’s 2007 reissue. It was included first as the bonus track on Fresh Horses for Brooks’ first Limited Series box set and then included on all later pressings of that album. Brooks’ version resulted in a nomination at the 41st Grammy Awards for Best Male Country Vocal Performance and a nomination for Bob Dylan for Best Country Song.
