Adele's "Make You Feel My Love" comes from 19, her 2008 album, and it's a Bob Dylan song, written for his 1997 album Time Out of Mind, though Billy Joel got it into the shops first on a greatest-hits set that August. It has since become that rare thing, a genuine new standard, taken on by more than 450 artists, and Adele's version is one of the best known of the lot.
She plays it close to the bone. Neil Cowley's piano carries most of the weight, Wired Strings swell in behind, Adele herself is credited on bass guitar, and Jim Abbiss keeps the production uncluttered so the voice can do the heavy lifting: patient, husky, and more soul singer than folkie.
