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...)

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

Thanks so much for this!
ReplyDeleteThanks 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.
ReplyDeletechingeGreat series, look forward to each morning to see if their is a new posting. Keep up the great site.
ReplyDeleteBeen following your series. It is the best. Yours is on of the best blogs around.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Great Series, wake up each morning to see if there is a new posting. Keep up the good work and have a great day.
ReplyDeleteDude, you MUST continue this incredible series. I even liked the last volume! Thanks so much.
ReplyDeleteOnly 167 downloads?! What has the world come to?
Just stumbled across this site. This looks like a killer comp - can't wait to give it a listen. Making good comps is a lot of work - I just spent a whole day at it when my son wanted to check out ska - so thanks for your time!
ReplyDeleteI enjoy this collection very much. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteGreat series, thank you ever so much & please continue! These are instantly played once down & then almost constantly played until your next posting.
ReplyDeleteThanks for these compilations. Haven't seen them before.
ReplyDeleteThank you. The best serie in the world. Only problem for me is no time for listening:-).
ReplyDeleteThank you,
Dario
Once again I thank you for this compilation.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
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?
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I really like these posts and I share them with my twin sister who has always been a big Dylan fan.
Commenters;
ReplyDeleteThanks for your encouraging words, hope to keep you rollon' in Dylan covers for a long time yet...
P.S.

I know I harsh on the Dead sometimes but what you say is true.

V. 15 is there - I just to to label it properly!
Great series, hearing a cover of a familiar song is always interesting and sometimes becomes a favorite.
ReplyDeleteThank you for all the work you've put in.
as i have just discovered this site what has gone looks great. can you download the songs
ReplyDeleteJust found your blog and it's a real treasure trove! This looks great! Can't wait to work backwards >sigh< So much music, so little time....
ReplyDeleteGreat series.
ReplyDeleteThanks you
Thank you so much for all of the time and effort that you put in bringing us this wonderful music!

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)
Thanks again for this series.
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing.
And I also have to thank you for introducing me to Piney Gir.
Hope you don't mind I stole your quote, but gave you credit for it.
