If The Times They Are a-Changin' isn't a marked step forward from The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan, even if it is his first collection of all originals, it's nevertheless a fine collection all the same. It isn't as rich as Freewheelin', and Dylan has tempered his sense of humor considerably, choosing to concentrate on social protests in the style of ...
Nanci Griffith has the kind of beguiling singing voice that's effortless and easily beautiful -- like a pretty girl who doesn't ever need makeup to be radiant. Sounding a little bit like Emmylou Harris is never a bad thing, but Griffith doesn't stop there. She duets with Harris and a host of other country and folk notables on Other Voices, Other ...
You might not expect much from a Dylan tribute album limited to the artists of one small label, but if so, you're in for a surprise: This CD turns out to be every bit as inspired as anything on the all-star Madison Square Garden tribute that marked Dylan's 30th year in the music business. One reason is that the artists on the Red House label ...
Artistically speaking, Nanci Griffith has been in somewhat of a funk since 1998's Other Voices, Too. 1999's The Dust Bowl Symphony offered a syrupy greatest-hits package and 2001's Clock Without Hands, her first new material in several years, seemed both over-produced and overwrought. To further muddy the picture, Rounder released three early ...
Recorded in October of 1968, Any Day Now marks Joan Baez's first foray into the recording studios of Nashville, armed with an entire program of Bob Dylan's material and backed by a stellar cast of Music City's finest session players. Dylan himself, coming out of an imposed exile after a motorcycle crash, had issued only one recording since 1966's ...
Culling 15 tracks from her 1968 release of Any Day Now and adding five tracks taken from her releases of the early '60s, Vanguard Sessions: Baez Sings Dylan is a wonderful example of Joan Baez's ability to transcend the work of other songwriters. Though it could be said that the genius of Dylan's songcraft can occasionally be obscured by the ...
Man, this was a long time coming -- and they actually got it pretty much right. Dylan Country is a collection of 16 songs by the scruffy one, recorded by a legion of country and affiliated artists over 35 years. And there are some doozies here. Bob himself makes an appearance on the opener with Earl Scruggs, performing "Nashville Skyline Rag" from ...
Although the intentions behind this compilation were valid, Stefanie Reines -- one of the overlords of emo label Drive Thru -- has made an erroneous decision in funding this project. Let's be honest: the number of folks who have covered Bob Dylan songs with success has been minimal, save for maybe X and Bruce Springsteen. Yet the optimistic Reines ...
With the gradual departure of most of its original members and the sudden and untimely death of mandolinist/singer/founder John Duffey in late 1996, one might forgive the Seldom Scene if it had just given up the ghost. But instead, the sole remaining original member (banjoist Ben Eldridge) gathered some of the more recent participants around him ...
This collection combines the Bob Dylan albums The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan from 1963 with 1964's The Times They Are A-Changin' and Another Side of Bob Dylan in a long box set that presents a fascinating progression from Dylan's pure folk beginnings through the brilliant, innovative, and startlingly surreal narratives that led up to his electric ...
This is the slipcase version of the second volume in Sony's three-pack of Bob Dylan albums -- they are issuing his entire catalog this way. While some of these volumes put two fine recordings together with a dog, there is nothing but gold here on Collection, Vol. 2: Freewheelin' Bob Dylan/Times They Are A-Changin'/Another Side; all are from Dylan ...
Cult records rarely come any better than Sebastian Cabot's 1967 classic, Sebastian Cabot, Actor/Bob Dylan, Poet, an album where the actor -- best known for playing Mr. French on the television series Family Affair -- speaks the lyrics to us, mama, as he goes through a selection of 11 early classics from the Bard. As befitting Bob's reputation as a ...
This impressive three-CD, 72-song set is the best compilation of music from the folk revival of the 1950s and 1960s. It concentrates most heavily on the movement's apogee in the first half of the 1960s, but also touches upon its roots in mid-20th century performers like Pete Seeger, Woody Guthrie, the Weavers, Big Bill Broonzy, and Josh White. ...
Sony repackaged and re-released Bob Dylan's first three albums of all original material -- the extraordinary The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan, The Times They Are A-Changin' and Another Side of Bob Dylan -- as a slip-cased box set. It's not a bad way to acquire the albums if you don't already own them, but there are no bonus tracks or new packaging or ...
Recorded in October of 1968, Any Day Now marks Joan Baez's first foray into the recording studios of Nashville, armed with an entire program of Bob Dylan's material and backed by a stellar cast of Music City's finest session players. Dylan himself, coming out of an imposed exile after a motorcycle crash, had issued only one recording since 1966's ...
This set combines two of Bob Dylan's landmark albums from 1964, The Times They Are A-Changin' and Another Side of Bob Dylan, and the pairing is certainly an interesting one, since Times is perhaps Dylan's most directly political album while Another Side is one of his most insularly personal ones, and between them lies the chasm of debate that ...
Time-Life Music's The Folk Years: Simple Song of Freedom is the concluding album in a four-volume set that surveys the 1960s folk revival in a manner typical of the Time-Life approach to compilations generally. That is to say that the selections consist mostly of hit singles; of the 30 tracks spread across two discs here, 20 were singles that made ...
This instrumental trio lovingly delivers original renditions of Bob Dylan songs. The warm, intimate, live sound fits the low-key mood as Michael Moore, Lindsey Horner, and Michael Vatcher pay tribute to the great songwriter. The main focus is on Dylan's '60s material, although a few later songs appear: "Dark Eyes" from 1985's Empire Burlesque and ...
The danger in covering a Bob Dylan song is that he is such an idiosyncratic, eccentric, and insular songwriter that in the end no matter what an artist does to the song and what direction it goes in, it remains first, foremost, and obviously a Bob Dylan song and is thus, at some level, the real star of the show. The 13 tracks on this collection of ...
Putumayo is primarily a world music label; whether the focus is Celtic, African, Middle Eastern, Caribbean, or Latin music, the vast majority of Putumayo's compilations have had some type of world music connection. But American Folk is an exception -- and while this compilation doesn't unearth the sort of delightfully unorthodox things Putumayo ...
