Adele will contribute her cover of Dylan‘s ‘Make You Feel My Love’, which also featured on her debut album ’19’, while Ke$ha will offer a new rendition of ‘Don’t Think Twice, It’s Alright’. It has not been announced which Dylan track Miley Cyrus will cover.

Ke$ha has also spoken about her cover and said that Dylan has been a massive influence on her. She also said she believes she has more in common with Dylan than people might think. She said:

When you think of me, you wouldn’t think of Bob Dylan. My music is more about the going crazy than politics. But he’s a huge influence – he writes his own music and means what he says. I write my own music and I fucking mean every word I sing.
