V.A. Nobody Sings Dylan Like Dylan Volume Thirty-Two


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

This series continues to operate at the top of the game that it has invented for itself, with some of the winners herein including Tom Russell with Gretchen Peters, Jeff Tweedy, Roseanne Cash, Ian Hunter, Sinead O'Connor, Frank Black Bruce Springsteen - it's like an Adult Rock party and we're all invited!




(Dedicating this song to the Vatican does re-cast it a bit doesn't it?)





Johnny's daughter is totally her own woman but she never forgets her dad.

    I must admit my belief that all covers of 'Girl From the North Country' now pale to that of the one done by the Lions.

    Thanks
    On the cover of Bob's album John Wesley Hardin, if you turn the cover upside down and look at the tree where it touches the frame. You can see what I think is a picture of the Beatles.
    Thanks for these covers, it is always a pleasure to hear them. Some I keep, some I don't. But all roads lead back to Bob.
    Hope this comment was fat enuf to keep you doing such a great job.

    I suspected that DP McManus was Napoleon Dynamite & was glad to have it confirmed on hearing, shame it's only a fragment.

    I love this Frank Black cover of Changing of the Guards. I still say it's one of the best songs Dylan ever wrote.
