V.A. Nobody Sings Dylan Like Dylan Volume Twenty


This thirty-TWO volume series features artists covering Bob Dylan songs. All of the tracks are recordings of independent origin (ROIO) and hence officially
unreleased.

This volume, one of the best thus far, includes a version of Dylan's never-recorded (?) early sixties tune "Love is Just a Four-Letter Word" done by Joan Baez.



It also includes a live take of Bryan Ferry's legendary cover of "A Hard's Rain's A-Gonna Fall".



Not to mention, The Alarm's glorious take on "Knockin on Heaven's Door".

  10. First time I am downloading one of this series but I just cannot pass up anything that has both The Alarm and Willie Nile on it! When Willie and Mike Peters recently collaborated, it was like a dream come true for me. Have never seen Willie perform "Watchtower" before, but have seen him do a great version of "It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue"

    P.S.

    The name Willie Nile was buried back in my head when I spotted it on the new album Alarm and I'm in the middle of investigating his strange story now. I sense a new post coming on...
