The material DTS chose to cover here includes some of the very very best Dylan songs. Add a nice voice and some fairly standard pop-jazz arrangements and you have a very nice easy listening CD. Nothing that'll knock your socks off except Bob's lyrics delivered by a lovely voice, with subtle musical backing.

Nothing wrong with that.

I think this is great-- a nice suprise from the group & Kelly Flint's able to make the
transition to Dylan songs very well. Also nice to hear Dave's more folk side of playing-- with still some nice little jazzy elements. I like all the 'Radio Mix' ones the most I think, & the slightly quickened pace of "Just Like Tom Thumb Blues" is a fine contrast to female covers like Judy Collins or Linda Ronstadt (& her lower voice too is distinctive contrast to them). I don't know if we need three versions of "You're a Big Girl Now," but interesting anyway. If you ever wondered what say, Peggy Lee, might sound like singing Dylan-- here's your chance. Maybe they can do some Joni Mitchell songs next!

4.0 out of 5 stars Very enjoyable set (but hopelessly padded out), August 17, 2008

Another Dylan compilation done by here the group post their appearing at a Dylan festival and performing the set - very mood enhancing interpretations of some great Dylan songs ("Simple twist of fate" and "Its all over now baby blue" especially) with a great vocal stylist in Kelly Flint who looked as though she would give the excellent Maria Muldaur set of Dylan love songs on "Heart of mine" a run for her money in the zone of bluesy jazz Dylan interpretations.

However the bummer (and reason for 4 stars) is the padding out of the CD by inclusion of 2 versions of both "Simple twist of fate" and "Its all over now baby blue" and three of "You're a big girl now"!

Add a dispensable skat style version of "If dogs run free" and a group original "Blood & bone" and you are left wondering what might have been with a bit more discipline and adventurous spirit being applied by DTS.
