A nice collection of tracks, but completely omits any of Dylan's commentary and patter. That makes this collection largely uninteresting, to me.

The treasures of Theme Time Radio Hour are the near-forgotten tracks. Theme Time gives them sunshine, Bob Dylan gives them relevance, and together some great music lives again. This collection, one of several now, is a great opportunity to add real music, strong music, to one's personal music library in an inexpensive and concise way. XM and Bob did the hard work, it's up to the listener to enjoy these rediscovered songs for the treats that they are. Hard to rate it as five-star, as no two of us would agree on what songs would make it so, yet it is an essential piece of work for the fan of great music.

After first collection purchased for significant other this had to be added to our collection too...nice to have so many older tracks.

This is a compilation put together by Brit fans using the available, original recordings - not the same selections as the "authorized" version of "Theme Time". Both, are ones you'll want to have. This one's kinda grey market-ish, but it serves the purpose - with all the quality you want.

No, there's no Dylan on this album except in the sense that he chose these songs for his radio show.

If you want to hear Dylan's "patter" then tune into his show. I'm happy listening to this eclectic collection of authentic music. Fantastic. I found songs here that have become some of my favorites.

Fantastic.
