Free Music Notes for I'm Not There
Free Music Review: Not your bog-standard cover album
Hit: 5 Stars
Cover albums are usually a joke. There might be one or two interesting ones on there, some of which even out-do the originals, but mostly they tend to be uninspired. But being as this is a soundtrack to a truly inspired film, and given the utter strength of the roster, it's safe to say something else is going on here. It pretty much blows the doors off of all but a few notable Dylan covers from the past. The sound is timeless as well. When I heard Georgia Hubley singing 4th Time Around on WFMU, it took a while for me to realise it was her. I was thrown off by how much it sounded like a 1960's Dylan recording.
Anyways, perfect holiday gift for any Dylan-loving dad. I know I'm getting it for mine.
Free Music Review: revelatory
Hit: 5 Stars
yeah, i get what most people are writing here that dylan does dylan best. sure, i agree. but these covers are amazing!
i think there's three songs on all these that i skip, and they're the same ones i skip when dylan sings 'em.
i've been listening to this nonstop for days. i already liked a lot of these artists but even the people i've never heard of are outstanding. i honestly don't understand how someone could give this soundtrack a negative review. i pass on all the praise i can for this album. it's incredible! just listen to the few songs that have been posted on myspace for free- they will convince you.
buy! and i've heard the movie is unbelievable.
Free Music Review: Dylan's Second Oscar?
Hit: 5 Stars
It's true. Nobody does Dylan like Dylan. I have listened to Dylan so much, both studio, live and bootleg, and I know every song, every arrangement and every nuance due to the change in musicians over the years. So...it's good to get a fresh take on his songs. There is some amazing work on this collection including Roger McGuinn on One More Cup of Coffee and an amazing Senor by Willie Nelson. It's all good.
And I for one think Dylan should qualify for an Oscar for I'm Not There. After all, it's never appeared on an official release. Does it qualify as a newly written song for a film? How many artists are there with this kind of stuff in the can from 40 years ago? He is the man.
Free Music Review: So I went to see the Gypsy.....
Hit: 5 Stars
Masterful songs taken, borrowed, reworked and then transformed into refreshing pieces of work, that are not quite on a planar level with the originals, but nevertheless graceful and powerfull tributes to Dylan's musical artistry. It's not just who Dylan influenced, say Jeff Tweedy on "Simple Twist of Fate", but who influenced Dylan, like Ramblin' Jack Elliot's version of "Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues", that make this soundtrack trul one of the greatest in recent memory.
34 songs and not a bad one it.
Free Music Review: I'm Not Displeased
Hit: 5 Stars
It's rare that a Dylan cover is better then the real Dylan. That's the case here; none of the songs are better then the orignal.
I would buy the album for one reason: Dylan singing "I'm Not There." It's a mystery why it's taken so long for this song to make it on a record! I would pay 20 bucks for this song alone. It's that good. It's classic Dylan, and it now ranks in my Top 20 of best Dylan songs.
