I was given this collection as a gift, but like collecting original Dylan as well as good interpretations. This is great stuff from mainly unknown acts (to me anyway apart from local band Kisschasy). I love most of it and it grows on me everytime I play it. Best tracks are RX bandits take on "Hattie Carroll", both Steel Train tracks, Jenoahs "Man In Me" and the Formats version of "Simple Twist". As I'm now 50 all these tracks are well known in the original versions to me and I enjoy the exhuberence of these new versions except for "Rainy Day Women" which I didn't like as an original anyway!

I found this cd to be so much more than I expected. It is so great to hear Dylan's songs retouched by individual artists. Every song is different while keeping a steady flow of easy listening music. It was also a surprise to find James Blunt among the group of artists. Roark and Steel Train are my favorites but I really enjoy it all.

I bought this cd because I like Dylan and my teenaged kids do, too. They introduced me to "emo" groups and I am open to listening to all music. I don't like all emo bands but some of the bands on this particular cd did a great job. I particularly like Dave Melillo - he has a voice that actually sounds trained. Another great is Jason Mraz who does a wonderful job. I agree with everyone that Rainyday should've been dumped - I've never liked it. Give this cd a chance and don't put people down because they are young ... still learning and growing. Remember Dylan was young once, too :)

These are embarrassingly bad. it's like a bunch of karaoke rejects. very lazy singing. simply awful !

I grew up in a small suburb of Minneapolis real close to Hibbing. That being the case I've grown up hearing Dylan songs in every light imagineable.

I've never been a fan of tribute albums. The only other one I've ever boughten was the tribute to Rubber Soul. But if you're looking for a well done collection of Dylan Classics--this is it.

I am a diehard Dylan fan and will usually buy anything showcasing his songs. I love Dylan's songs when it's him singing them or someone else. I saw this and thought I'd give it a shot. I had heard the band Steel Train before and was impressed with their classic style and vocal harmonies. Their tracks are bareable here, but I became physically ill when I heard some of these other tracks. No, I am not out of touch with modern rock. I am 22 and was raised on Greenday and Rancid. The problem is that these are no-talent psuedo-punk boy-bands playing songs that they don't even seem to know. Drive-Thru is a trash label that should be avoided at all costs. Get the 2 Dylan reggae tributes and the gospel tribute instead (they're great).

Bob Dylan is a legend. This is trash. Drive Thru Records is a joke for trying to make a tribute album to Dylan. These musicians are not talented they are just "cute in their female jeans and shaggy hair". Do yourself a favor and DO NOT buy this record. They have turned a musical god into a crappy trend. Grab a reggae tribute instead, there is actually talent in it.
