Customer Rating:
Summary: Dylan without The Dead???
Comment: A very good Dylan cover compilation, don't get me wrong...but how can you really have any kind of a Dylan cover compilation without The Grateful Dead??? For that I can only give it a 3 star.
Next time someone does a Bob movie...include The Dead.

Summary: One real gem
Comment: One real gem is Please Crawl Out Your Window. A throw-away when Bob did it, but all of Bruce in this version.
As for Dylan covers - He was ALWAYS covered from the start (Byrds, Peter Paul & Mary, Turtles) so what's the big deal.

Summary: The Spirit of Dylan isn't quite here, either
Comment: A bunch of indie/alt stars get together and pay tribute to Bob with a lot of covers. It's an uneven experience. The most famous songs tend to come across worst. Stephen Malkmus, Karen Oh or Cat Power trying to turn well worn phrases like 'you know something is happening, but you don't know what it is' into their own comes off very karaoke. Other efforts work better. Yo La Tengo demonstrate that Fourth Time Around is a song they were in fact born to cover (and what a great song--practically invented the passive-aggressive attitude towards romance that has defined indie-rock forever). Eddie Vedder (with a lot of help from Tom Verlaine on guitar) pulls off an excellent All Along the Watchtower. And the less famous songs, like John Doe's version of Pressing On, and Sufjan Stevens' Ring Those Bells, tend to work better. However, there is a problem with the overall gestalt. In his day, Dylan was incredibly audacious--ignoring his cult and crossing straight over into the world of pop. By contrast, nearly all the performers here seem a little timid and smug. Here's an alternative idea--how about an album with all the acts who manage to straddle that art/commercial divide today--Kanye West, Amy Winehouse, Daft Punk, etc.--covering Dylan. Some of these acts are probably unfamiliar with his catalogue, and I'm sure that would be for the best.
I was tempted to add a star to my rating because of the inclusion of the previously unreleased Basement Tape, I'm Not There. It is outstanding.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Brilliant collection of Dylan Covers
Comment: You will not be disappointed with this soundtrack. The colaborative effort put forth to create this was well worth the effort. I especially love Cat Powers' rendition. Add this to your collection!

Editorial Reviews:

Many people have covered Bob Dylan's songs over the years, but few quite like this. On the double-disc soundtrack that accompanies Todd Haynes' extremely confounding biopic of the already plenty confounding folk icon, we get the likes of Sonic Youth, Cat Power, Yo La Tengo, the Hold Steady, and Antony & The Johnsons doing their best Dylan impressions and often failing gloriously. Former Pavement frontman Stephen Malkmus does a particularly fine job oozing his way through "Ballad of a Thin Man," while Wilco's Jeff Tweedy draws the moody beauty out of "Simple Twist of Fate," and Sufjan Stevens lends his typically baroque touch to "Ring Them Bells." Special credit has to go to the Million Dollar Bashers, the unofficial house band that includes Steve Shelley on drums, John Medeski on piano, and Tom Verlaine on guitar, along with other notable musicians. The generous track list and dynamic set of contributors promises that this album will provide plenty of awe long after the film itself has been forgotten. --Aidin Vaziri
