Fun, but stock up on the back catalogue first.

More Bob Dylan More Bob Dylan



If you love Dylan but consider him a terrible live act, you'll probably love this 1992 recording celebrating the legendary artist's finest early work. Some of the world's greatest artists pay tribute, playing slick renditions of Dylan's best-known tracks, and most of them are pleasant replications, albeit lacking the grit of Dylan's delivery. There are 29 tracks across two-and-a-half hours, highlights being Lou Reed's epic Foot Of Pride, Johnny Winter's revved-up Highway 61 Revisited and the man himself belting out Girl From The North Country. Fun, but stock up on the back catalogue first.
