V.A. Nobody Sings Dylan Like Dylan Volume Eighteen


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.

I'm so pleased about this almost-all-bluegrass edition that I'm not even gonna snark on Jerry Garcia's making the cut (in fact, ALL of my favourite Dead moments are the results of the band's love of bluegrass and country).



(sorry as these are all ROIO, it's hard to find videos of the exact cover version...)


01 You Ain’t Goin’ Nowhere – Earl Scruggs (Jul 3, 2002, The Meadows, Steamboat Springs, CO)
02 She Belongs to Me – Jerry Garcia and Dave Grisman (May 10, 1992, Warfield Theater, San Francisco, CA)

Nobody Sings Dylan Like Dylan Volume Eighteen link is in the comments

Speaking of comments*, if you'd like the series to continue please don't forget to leave some words about these volumes.

* I'm really hoping that the dearth of comments for the last volume (3 comments, 167 downloads!!) was on account of it being the least intriguing volume in the entire series.

Thanks to Jeffs98119 for compiling these and to obatik for the images.

  3. Thanks for a very fine series. Also, Jerry is always welcome to me! And, I think to Dylan: his grief over Jerry's death, and his tribute to him, seemed completely sincere to me. They had a lot in common, it's just that Dylan got past some of his temptations, and Garcia couldn't outrun them.

  13. Once again I thank you for this compilation.

    I love to hear other musicians versions of Dylan's songs & bluegrass is a particularly favourite type of music.

    I may not like all of the tracks on this series but until I hear them I won't know.

  14. I really like this series, I had acquired vol. 1-10 quite some time ago and thought I had it all. Thank you for making these available. What happened to Vol. 15?

    Anyway, I really like these posts and I share them with my twin sister who has always been a big Dylan fan.

  21. Why would anyone be snarky about Jerry Garcia being included with bluegrass musicians? That's where he cut his chops in the '60s, released trad bluegrass albums in the '70s,'80s and '90s. I'd be more inclined to dispute a band like String Cheese.

    Welcome!

    I was poking fun at mt Dead prejudice but also trying to allude to the fact that i know that Jerry had real Bluegrass cred (see Old and In the Way)
