Chimes of Freedom - The Songs of Bob Dylan
Various
2012
I am a big fan of Bob Dylan. He is one of the greatest songwriters of all time. This is a brand new album featuring 75 cover songs each by a different artist and then the title track Chimes of Freedom by Dylan himself.
The album is for charity, celebrating 50 years of Amnestry International, so it is for a good cause.
As with any cover album collection, I expect most songs will pale to the originals, but if even ten songs hold a candle to the originals, that will be tremendous. I also hope to be exposed to a few songs that I had previously passed over or never heard before.
