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


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.

Once again this series cuts a wide swath, covering aughts alt country (Calexico, Lambchop), vets of the punk era (Billy Bragg, Robyn Hithcock), sixties survivors (Chris Hillman, Gene Clark - separately), British folk-rock (Ashley Hutchings, June Tabor and The Oyster Band), singer/songwriter types (Eliza Gilkyson, Nanci Griffith) and artists who exist beyond critical categories like the sadly-departed Ted Hawkins.

  2. I absolutely adore this series.

    I don't like all of the tracks equally & doubt if anybody does, but they are all worth listening.

  3. Thanks for this new post!

    I like the series because you can discover some real diamonds in the rough.

    It also has introduced me to some great musicians and singers that I may not have listened to otherwise.

    Please keep them coming!

  4. This series is invaluable. The only problem is finding time to download them all, especially if you came late to the party. So kudos to those maintaining the data base and to trhe prime mover who initiated and drives this bus. I have to say I approve wholeheartedly. When I started collecting seriously in the late sixties, collecting Dylan covers was one of the things I focused on (certain labels, producers, etc others) so I understand the obsession.

  5. So giddy over the Teenage Treats post I almost missed this. Or maybe it's my new glasses (they make me feel taller, for some reason.)

    In any event, we're on the home stretch and you've done yourself proud.
