    I don't usually like country music, but I was compelled to listen all the way after hearing the lyrics.I also had a feeling of the mortality of Dylan and the realization of the fact that we are going to loose the great talent of Bob some day. That will be a loss that is going to be extremely hard to take.

    A very interesting work of love. This one ranks among the best but all the back issues are worthing. Thank you

    Hi Jeffen! Thanks a bunch for the new collection. I confess I have not listened to many of them and have taken to just putting them on my own mediafire account to download later- my computer is old and I have to much music stored already. Hopefully in the fall I can upgrade.

    A question: Do you remember or know of the singer "Melanie"? She had a few hits back in the day- "I got a brand new pair of roller skates, you got a brand new key" was one.
    Anyway, she did a Dylan cover that I heard probably 25 years ago. And you know, the her performance of it was haunting and has stayed in my mind, I cannot remember which one it was!
    Do you know?

    This is the first time I've heard the Dixie Chicks. I love their take on Mississippi. Adds a new dimension to it.

    Thanks for this, and I don't want to get you sidetracked when you've almost reached your goal, but I thought you might like this equally in-depth look at pre-Dylan roots. Not my site, just a fan.
