This thirty-one volume series features artists covering Bob Dylan songs. All of the tracks are recordings of independent origin (ROIO) and hence officially unreleased.
Y'know the quality ratio on this series (considering the limitations that ROIO implies) in damn high. With Johnny Cash, Warren Zevon, Billy Bragg, John Doe, Robyn Hitchcock, Tom Russel, Neil Young and Dan Bern here, who am I to complain about having 1 1/2 dull covers by the Grateful Dead?
01 When I Paint My Masterpiece – Grateful Dead (Jul 9, 1995, Soldier Field, Chicago, IL)
02 All Along the Watchtower – Warren Zevon (Jan 16, 1996, Rack-n-Roll, Colorado Springs, CO)
03 Blind Willie McTell – Rick Danko (Nov 19, 1992, Stephens Talkhouse, Miami, FL)
04 Hard Rain – Daniel Lanois (Sep 22, 1995, Ballard Backstage, Seattle, WA)

07 She Belongs to Me – John Doe (Feb 2, 2005, Narrows Center for the Arts, Fall River, MA)
08 Just Like Tom Thumb’s Blues – Tom Russell (Apr 2, 2002, Columbus Music Hall, Columbus, OH)
