Part 1 - Long Time Coming, Long Time Gone
A first truck load of Bob Dylan related songs.... cover versions, songs that inspired Bob or were inspired by Bob, old-time folk & blues songs that Bob has been known to play.... In short, just a whole heap of great Dylan stuff & more performed by a range of amazing artists plus frequent co-conspirators over the years like Joan Baez & The Grateful Dead. Not to forget longtime Dylan collaborators supreme; The Band. Tribute to them here likewise. Oh, and yes, it features a few cameos from both The Band and the man himself, the one & only, the indominable Mr Bob Dylan
Part 2 - Ramblin' Round From Town To Town
Part two powers on in the same vein... Bob Dylan originals together with
miriad cover versions & influences. Other longtime associates like Tom Petty, George
Harrison, Johnny Cash & Willie Nelson step into the spotlight.
Roving guitarist and activist Woody Guthrie was a major influence on the
artist who went on to become Bob Dylan. Slightly more of a rock & blues vibe on part 2
Part 3 - Lily Of The West
Chill out to part three as we move into country-folk territory. Bob got
more & more interested in the genre as the 1960s progressed and,
together with The Band, cooked up their signature blend of folk &
country going into the 70s. As usual there are covers of Bob songs and
Bob covers of other's music along with influences and songs by the
influenced. Special tribute to folk artist and native rights activist
Peter LaFarge and also to the great Hank Williams. All star finale.
Part 4 -Outlaw Blues
The fourth & final instalment of the Dylan tribute sessions rocks the heaviest. A whole heap of rocking cover versions & Dylan-related material, along with music from more artists who have inspired the man. Spotlight on legendary folk singer & native rights activist Peter LaFarge as well as songs by longime co-conspirators Phil Ochs, Pete Seeger, Joan Baez, Mark Knopfer George Harrison, Tom Petty & The Band. Also featuring the man himself, Bob Dylan. The tempo cools off later of with a selection of folk and ballads.
A total 147 tracks spread over 4 mixes & a mammoth 10 hours.
Features 18 Dylan originals, 107 songs penned by Dylan, including 99
cover versions of Dylan songs & then a lot of Dylan related tracks
written by others. Two or three of the songs here enjoy being done over
twice by different artists. There are probably enough alternative versions to make another 4 mixes but i reckon that I've managed to cherry pick the cream of the crop here & think we've captured the majority of Bob's best songs already too. I've enjoyed putting this one together as it makes a real good
change to hear all of these amazing songs sung with such variety. Enjoy!
