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

Hey, come check out my Top Ten of 2011 (so far..) over at THE BIG TAKEOVER! Don't forget to leave a comment there!

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

Another inimitable grab-bag featuring those sturdy roots-rock artists you might expect (Los Lobos, The Jayhawks, John Doe et al) and a few surprises like The Ramones...



and The Roots [!]...
