Thanks for the link, Roger. I'd never heard that song either. Dylan's voice is another instrument and sometimes it is dissonant, which is a tool he uses the same way other composers do. Yes, there are other versions of his songs by different artists that are brilliant. The song at the top of the thread is an example. But his skill at using his voice to emphasize what is happening in the song instead of diverting our attention from the song is genius.
