Co-written with theatre director Jacques Levy, 'Oh Sister', from the 1976 album Desire, has always been one of my least favourite Bob Dylan songs. Nevertheless, Andrew Bird's version has a certain redeeming loveliness to it. This track was recorded in spring 2005 for a MOJO magazine compilation, and later remixed for Bird's 2007 Soldier On EP. Bird's frequent collaborator Nora O'Connor provides the female harmony supplied by Emmylou Harris in the original.
The visuals here com from episode 2 of the 1964 French TV show The Adventures of Robinson Crusoe, which starred Robert Hoffman in the title role, and was directed by Jean Sacha.
