The soundtrack to the 2003 film starring and co-written by Bob Dylan obviously centres around the legendary songwriter's compositions, but with a twist. The bulk of the selectionshere are Dylan tunes performed by other artists, some beinginternational performers who've translated the lyrics into their native tongues. To hear a Japanese version of "My BackPages" by the Magokoro Brothers, or an Italian-language take on the BLOOD ON THE TRACKS ballad "If You See Her, Say Hello" is to enter into a delightfully surreal and entertainingworld.
There's also a batch of Dylan performances that were captured live on a soundstage specifically for the movie. The bluesy, apocalyptic "Down in the Flood", the folk song"Diamond Joe", a straightforward version of the old warhorse "Dixie", and an ominous take on TIME OUT OF MIND's "Cold Irons Bound". These cuts capture the raw, rootsy power of Dylan's late-'90s/early-'00s band perfectly, and show that 2003found him still very much a vital force.
