Hard Rain: A Tribute to Bob Dylan Vol. 1 (2002)

It's interesting that many editions of Jeffs98119's Nobody Sings Dylan Like Dylan (all 36 volumes HERE) compare so favourably to this tasteful, well-compiled (but now out-of-print) set done with the professional backing and major label access of Uncut Magazine. As always, your highlights and mine may differ but for the record I'll recommend this for the fine versions of Dylan classics by The Band, The Waterboys, Howard Devoto and Paul Weller.
