V.A. Nobody Sings Dylan Like Dylan Volume Fifteen


Here's another dose of Dylan done differently, including a few MRML favoured-acts like John Wesley Harding, Peter Case and Richard Thompson (with the Performing Gibsons) and a heavy shot of classic rock (which fortunately includes early vintage Yardbrids and Joe Cocker but unfortunately also, Bob Weir's Ratdog) that will have varying degrees of interest to readers here, though hopefully many of us can unite against dreadful Was (Not Was) track.

01 Black Crow Blues – Peter Case
02 I Don’t Believe You – Cindy Lee Berryhill
03 Intro to Mr. Alice – Don Was

  5. Bob Dylan is not a great singer, but the best composer and his words are very good.

  6. HI!
    Once Again a fabulous selection from the worlds best poet, musicmaker, lyricist, rocker, bluesman, gospel composer and yes, singer.
    Say what you want about his voice but damn, the man can sing.

    Just saw him in NJ and the consensus of the crowd was that yes, sometimes you can't understand the words or it takes a second to catch the song- though he seemed to be enunciating particularly well this show. Yes, he doesn't speak a word till the band announcement- but he seemed entirely engaged. yes, his voice is completely shot,BUT- it was the best Dylan show ever.
    His voice may be shot, but what he does with what is left is performance art/theater.

    But I digress.
    Thanks again for the great gifts you keep providing.

    I've recently started a Dylan focused blog here:
