song was also recorded by Burl Ives (circa 1965). Dave Van Ronk recorded the song in 1961 for his album Van Ronk Sings. He then went on to record a new version of the song in 1967 for his album Dave Van Ronk and the Hudson Dusters, where it was credited to John Lomax and his first wife, Bess Brown Lomax. In the liner notes to the album, Van Ronk writes that he considers the tune "probably the best piece of singing as such I've ever done on record." He goes on to explain, "I had a nasty flu when we cut this one, and my voice had gone pre-laryngitic. This had the effect of opening up an octave valve I didn't even know I had. The next day I couldn't talk, let alone sing." Gloria Lynne recorded the song for a concept album created and produced by Harry Belafonte in 2001, titled The Long Road to Freedom: An Anthology of Black Music. In Lynne's version the song is called "Fare Thee Well, Oh Honey." A different arrangement of the song was written and performed by Frank Black on his 2006 album Fast Man Raider Man. Puerto Rican singer Gabriel Ríos included the song on the limited edition 2-disc release of his album Angelhead. Oscar Isaac and Marcus Mumford's performance of "Dink's Song" is featured in the Coen Brothers's film Inside Llewyn Davis, as well as a solo acoustic version by Isaac. Both versions are included on the original soundtrack album. The song was also performed by Chuck/God (Rob Benedict) on the television show Supernatural, at the end of the episode "Don't Call Me Shurley." Joni Mitchell performed "Fare Thee Well (Dink's Song)" early in her career and it was recorded when she appeared on radio station CFQC, circa 1963. This rendition was released in 2020 on Joni Mitchell Archives – Vol. 1: The Early Years (1963–1967). References Notes Heylin, Clinton (2003). Bob Dylan: Behind the Shades Revisited.
