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.
Dive on in, there's the usual array of things your not-so-humble caretaker admires (Billy Bragg, Richard Thompson, Bruce Springsteen {a.k.a. Dr. Zoom}, and eighties L.A. cow-punk supergroup, Danny & Dusty) with only a bit of Jack Johnson to be removed before your hard drive hits critical levels of mellowness. It's worth repeating that this series does an excellent job highlighting more recent artists without neglecting the past.
