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


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

Well the "guitar volume" seems to promise a sequel to the "jam-rock volume" but this one is not without it's interesting inclusions, like The Band doing "Don't Ya Tell Henry" from 1969, Richard Hell (and Robert Quine) doing "Going, Going, Gone" as well as blazing Jimi Hendrix version of "Can You Please Crawl Out Your Window?". Of course there's the usual quota of stuff I usually make fun of as well as the first and last appearance of Guns N' Roses here (unless Chuck Klosterman himself Twitters about this post!)

  3. Only 11 left to go. I feel like a kid again collecting a series of toys out of cereal boxes. Don't want to miss one and hope I get the complete set.

    Good music and great fun!

    Thanks

  6. Brilliant as ever.
    Anyone into this may also be interested in this link I found.
    If you don't know who Steve Gibbons is then I'm afraid that is your loss.
    But this is an amazing project of covering Dylan.
    This was the original album from 1998.

    And this was the live concert in 1999.

  7. Thanks for posting this. Along the way I've run across a couple of the volumes and always wondered where they came from. little did I know I was subscribing to the source!
    I am pleased to say I love this series! Back in the 60s and 70s I collected EVERY Dylan=written LP and 45 track I could find. I wish I still had that vinyl collection; I know I probably had a few that are LONG out-of-print by now.
    I will henceforth begin chipping away at downlloading the entire collection and will NOT miss any new releases after this one!

  8. Hendrix AND Hell?! You hit me with both barrels with those choices my friend.

    I know a Hendrix post will never happen (although he may have recorded enough Dylan covers to make it worth your while to assemble your own comp... Jus' sayin')but how about a stroll through Hell's back pages?
