V.A. Nobody Sings Dylan Like Dylan Volume Twelve


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

Another slew of good names here like Lone Justice, John Lagnford (of the Mekons), Cat Power, Buddy & Julie Miller, Robyn Hitchcock, Bruce Springsteen, Cowboy Junkies, as well as, unfortunately (well for the well-worn biases of this author anyway), more Grateful Dead and more Black Crowes.

  11. minor point. The Fillmore West (Carousel Ballroom) Market St & Van Ness Ave, was closed by Bill Graham, was it 1972 - Farewell To The Fillmore box set. That means that track #6 should be listed as The Fillmore which is the reopened original concert venue in The Fillmore district of SF
