Dylan Country CD review
Feb 25 2006
Format:Audio CD
I lean toward local and generally unheard of artist for 60% of my music. A friend loaned this CD to me for a listen. After listening, I realized that I liked every track. Some more than others, however, each track is very well done. The producer obviously has a keen sense for blending a wide range of artists. I very seldom buy a CD that doesn't lull me into complacency, and I find myself only listening to a couple select tracts. This is a rare compilation, of which I thoroughly enjoy each and every track. If more producers could see through the screen of commercialism and give the listeners what we want, we would feel like each purchase was money well spent. I highly recommend this one. P.S. it's like the title says, "country"/ and probably not for headbangers!
best version of Dylan song by another artist...?

I would say "It's All Over Now Baby Blue" by the bluegrass band The Seldom Scene with vocals by the late great John Duffy. Too bad it was left off this CD... would have been a great fit. Also, "Rita Mae" by Jerry Lee Lewis (from his late 70's Elektra LP) would have been an cool country-rockin' choice for this collection. Overall, though, I guess this is a nice mix of the obvious and the obscure. And heaven knows there is plenty of material out there for a Volume 2 (including the two I mentioned).
Let's hope they're working on that now!

Why, in this era of of iTunes et al do CDs like this exist? Any of us can now pull together a mix CD based on whatever theme we like. The only reasons for relying on the record companies to pull something together like this:
1) Liner notes/documentation. Well, these liner notes are worthless! And, the recording details are minimal.
2) Great songs not currently on CD. OK, I gotta give them their props here: Glen Campbell's take on "If Not for You" hasn't been in print since the early 1970s. Ditto for Buck Owens'"Love Minus Zero." And, bonus points for unearthing the Kitty Wells take on "Forever Young."
3) Great remastered sound. Nope.
One out of three...ain't good. And, to make matters worse, "Dylan Country" doesn't even live up to its name. I love the Byrds. But (a) they aren't a country band and (b) this isn't even their best rendition of "You Ain't Going Nowhere." Almost every country music great from the 1960s-1980s recorded a Dylan song. So, why does this compilation feature dubious acts like Jennifer Warnes (Jennifer Warnes?!), Tim O'Brien and Peter Ostroushko, while passing on artists like Jerry Reed, Flying Burrito Bros., the Carter Sisters, Flatt & Scruggs (though, granted, Scruggs is here), Doc Watson, Kris Kristofferson, Carlene Carter, Toni Price, Jason & the Scorchers, and others. Passing on Emmylou Harris's definitive cover of "Every Grain of Sand" in favor of "When I Paint my Masterpiece" is similarly odd.

Good Stuff, but...
One of Dylan's big musical heroes was Hank Williams and, frankly, the similarities are not that hard to spot. Read more

This has got such a great lineup of country music legends interpreting Dylan's music, I don't even know where to start.
