Nobody Sings Dylan Like Dylan - Various Artists

The Dylan Covers, Vol. 1
Various Artists
As Columbia Records once advertised, "Nobody Sings Dylan Like Dylan." Still, I always love to hear Dylan covers. Whenever one pops up, at a show or online, I listen attentively for something new the singer might bring to the song. For the last few years, I've been collecting them via bit torrent with an eye toward making a compilation. Here is the first volume of what may be many, if there is interest, and if I can find the time and energy. For now, I've avoided the Dead, the Byrds and some other usual suspects, but they may appear later. I have sequenced this for flow; total running time is 78:00. I've put the two longest tracks at the end, so those of you who don't like jams or have short attention spans can avoid them. I haven't done any artwork, but if there are any frustrated album cover designers out there, I would love to have some.
Due to the many different sources, I am not including lineages; soundboards and FMs have an asterisk, the rest are very good to excellent audience recordings. I have done nothing to the original files but normalize the levels and fade in and out on each track (using Cool Edit). Thanks, of course, to the tapers, and to the original uploaders. Enjoy! JS
