3CD - UK Import

• 3CD compilation focussing on covers of classic tracks by one of the greatest songwriters of all time, Bob Dylan.

• Covering the era when Dylan's sound took in folk, blues, rock 'n' roll, country, psychedelia, and much more, and artists from those genres cherry-picked tracks often with fantastic results.

• Huge interest surrounding Bob at the moment on the back of the biopic A Complete Unknown starring Timothee Chalamet.

In America, The Byrds took Dylan's songs and sprinkled some jingle-jangle on them to essentially invent folk rock. In the UK Dylan's songs would prove pivotal in the development of British folk rock with Fairport Convention, Fotheringay and Sandy Denny, all taking their cues from Bob's lead.

But folk is just one stop on the meandering musical ride we have here with bluegrass, ska, hard rock, and pop all featuring. The vast array of musical styles that populate this compilation not only illustrate the strength of the compositional skills of Dylan but also provide an engaging and eclectic listening experience that will appeal to fans of Bob in particular as well as those who like popular music in general.
