Product Description
30 NEW INTERPRETATIONS OF SONGS BY BOB DYLAN IN CELEBRATION OF HIS 70th BIRTHDAY Fifty years since Bob Dylan began his journey towards becoming one of the most influential and prolific song-writers of his generation, his compositions are still performed regularly. Not just by performers who were around at the time of his meteoric rise to fame, but also by a new generation of musicians rediscovering these great songs. In May 2011 Dylan celebrates his 70th birthday. To mark this event here’s an exciting compilation of Dylan songs by a variety of artists associated with the British folk and roots scene. Thirty new interpretations of classic Dylan material from established names and new, up and coming young performers . Introduced by poet Ian McMillan included are contributions from Martin Simpson, Christine Collister, Clive Gregson, Steve Tilston, Chris Smither, Julie Matthews, Chris and Kellie While, Hans Theesink, Dave Burland, Gurf Morlix, Craig and Willoughby, Ewan McLennan, Steve Phillips and the Rough Diamonds, Stephen Fearing, Jez Lowe, Edwina Hayes, Tony Capstick, Gary Hall, Ian Bailey, Patsy Matheson, Helen Watson, Snake Davis, Burden of Paradise, Shuffle Monsters, Dan Wilde, John Leonard, Blonde on Bob, Rosalie Deighton, Costanza, Sarah Dean and Phil Cerny . All the proceeds from the album are being donated to Oxfam.

Ok, I admit that I bought this on a sunny afternoon in York to obtain the version of "It Ain't Me Babe" by Edwina Hayes, but what a treat !! Unlike many complilations this never suffers for any falls in quality either artistically or technically. The "sound" is consistantly excellent throughout with no big changes in "recording quality" or "balance" which frequently make compilations hard to listen to. The choice of songs is excellent too (well done Christine Collister for donating a track - it's excellent). In fact this album is so good it could even convert a few "non-Bob" fans. It's a bargain price for a double CD, it's beautifully packaged, and the proceeds go to Oxfam - what more do you need to know ? - (well you need to know that Edwina's version of "It Ain't Me Babe" is just great). BUY IT NOW WHILE STOCKS LAST - you won't be disappointed !!

Bought this after hearing a track on the radio. All excellent interpretations, good selection of well and perhaps lesser known songs. A real bargain even if you're not a folk or Dylan fan.

Great musicianship, great interpretations. A must for any Dylan fan. I Can't believe it's so cheap, charities could have made a lot more.

Outstanding album!
I bought this album at a recent Gary Hall gig (I Shall Be Released) mainly because it was for charity. Forget the "charity" tag, though. This album is stunningly good. Read more

More people singing Bob Dylan songs. Never tire of listening to his songs and like to hear different renderings of his songs.

Just what you would expect
Excellent songs well rendered. Original and varied arrangements well worked out. A lovely piece of music to own. Of course it is quite important to like Dylan but who can not ?
