Lost Forgotten Years

As Columbia Records once advertised, "Nobody Sings Dylan Like Dylan." Still, I always love to hear Dylan covers. Whenever one pops up, at a show or online, I listen attentively for something new the singer might bring to the song. For the last few years, I've been collecting them via bit torrent with an eye toward making a multi-volume compilation.

Volume 3 is definitely the best one so far. It was originally going to be subtitled "The '70s", but there were a few tracks from the '60s that fit nicely, and nothing I wanted to include after 1976. All the recordings are soundboards or broadcasts, and while the quality varies, they mostly sound great. Two cuts, the Springsteen version of "I Want You" and Van Morrison's "Just Like a Woman," though officially unreleased, can hold their own with the greatest Dylan covers ever. There are also some genuine rarities--especially "Sign Language" by Eric Clapton and "Man on the Street" by Dave Van Ronk. Finally, I've listed the last three cuts as Bonus Tracks because they don't really flow with everything else here. The Elton John medley is a mere curiosity, but George Harrison's desolate renditions of "I Threw It All Away" and "Mama You Been On My Mind," recorded in cavernous Tickenham Studios during the Beatles "Let it Be" sessions, tell you everything you need to know about the Quiet Beatle's state of mind as the Greatest Show on Earth disintegrated.
