V.A. Nobody Sings Dylan Like Dylan Volume Twenty-Three


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.

Another wildly-mixed bag of Dylan covers for which you are, as always, free to pick and choose what you feel is worthwhile, though your friendly-neighbourhood blogger recommends:

Patti Smith, defender of Street Legal era Dylan.



David Bowie's much-derided but actually rockin' late 80's band, Tin Machine.



And since COMMENTER CallPastorJerkface requested more Clapton, here's 'ole Slowhand with John Belushi (well, actually, Joe Cocker) doing "Seven Days" (which on this collection is actually done by Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood but...y'know different configurations of sixties British blue rockers being as they are, this'll have to do.)



01 Mggie's Farm - Tin Machine * (Jun 25, 1989, La Cigale, Paris, France)
02 Changing of the Guard - Patti Smith (Apr 18, 2007, Hiro Ballroom, New York, NY)

    Y'know my Clapton n' Beck request was for something more Yardbirds-ian but it's always nice to get props. Thanks!

    Sorry, Anon. - not trying to start an argument. Patti's version is very nice, but check out Chris Whitley, if you please...
