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


Hey check out this cool Cover Me post, where Jeff talks about some of his favourite moments of this series (and I'm even the download link, if that's not too self-referential)
.

This is where I came in. Really. I was deep down into this rabbit hole known as the internet searching for Graham Parker's cover "I Threw It All Away" (for this weighty post) when I found this series. Truthfully, I just did not know what to make of it at first. Twenty-Nine volumes of live Dylan covers! I dunno... But then as it dawned on me, slowly, just how artfully the collections balanced the different strains of Dylan-ism, I grew amazed. Here on this volume you'll find blues, country, power-pop, folk, bluegrass, rock n' roll and a hell of a lot more musical sub-variations then I care to enumerate. Long may you run, Jeff.

  10. muchísimas gracias por esta colección de versiones, que como bien dice el título, mucho peores que los originales de dylan y es que nadie canta como dylan las canciones de dylan.
