V.A. Nobody Sings Dylan Like Dylan Volume Six


This thirty volume series features artists covering Bob Dylan songs. All of the tracks are recordings of independent origin (ROIO) and hence officially unreleased.

This heavily alt-country weighted volume includes lots of MRML favourites like Elvis Costello (bolstered or encumbered, depending on your point of view by Roger McGuinn) , Blue Rodeo (who are actually radio staples up here in Canada), Maria McKee (of Lone Justice) and JASON & THE SCORCHERS!!

  6. Totally awesome series.
    I guess I gotta find me some of the others. All we need now is a series for Leonard Cohen in the same vein.

    Hell yeah! I've been looking for this complete sucker for years - leave it to you to show up with it. I'm not surprised, you've unearthed some monumental finds.

    I visit a short list of blogs regularly - I wouldn't miss what you've got to say. Keep on coming from that very unique place you come from and I'll be a loyal friend.

    Thanks so very much for this Dylan series
