Free Music Notes for I'm Not There
Free Music Review: in a good way
Hit: 4 Stars
Bob Dylan is the greatest and most influential songwriter in rock history. Like Shakespeare before him, artists and poets will reinvent and replay his music. Even though Bob is still with us, this is one of the first real examples of the future of Dylan's music. It is strange hearing various artists and bands play music heard hundreds if not thousands of times. Each artist here tweaks and reworks the song in a way to make it their own while keeping the spirit of the song intact. I would recommend this album to hardcore Dylan fans like me and to those who never got into Dylan's music because they didnt care for his voice. This album makes you look at Dylan from a different angle and the result is still absorbing, frustrating but ultimately supremely rewarding.Free Music Review: Monumentally satisfying
Hit: 4 Stars
There is so much here to enjoy. Some of the performances are tributes, some are reinventions; some songs are familiar to any casual Dylan fan and some may have managed to escape under the radar of even the most devoted. All of them are worth listening to. The backing provided by Calexico and the Million Dollar Bashers on many tracks is extremely supportive of the singers and songs. An additional benefit for old hipsters who may not have been keeping up with younger acoustic artists are the performances by groups like Iron & Wine, Sufjan Stevens, Stephen Malkmus and the outstanding Mason Jennings. Buy it, if for no other reason, for Jim James on "Going to Acapulco" & Bob (himself) on "I'm Not There".Free Music Review: Great covers album
Hit: 4 Stars
Bob Dylan's material has always been popularly when interpreted by other artists. Witness the works of The Byrds, Jimi Hendrix, and Judy Collins among many others. This collection of Dylan covers is stellar. In particular, the Calexico collaborations stand out. "One More Cup of Coffee" featuring Roger McGuinn and Calexico is a real highpoint. These two artists should sit down in a studio and do a full album together - a match made in heaven! Also, the Tom Verlaine interpretation of, "Cold Irons Bound" is brilliant. I highly recommend this collection to all Dylan fans, as well as fans of the many artists featured.Free Music Review: Generic Review

Last weekend I spent a couple hours writing a pretty entertaining review for this soundtrack. Evidently Amazon didn't think so, as it still hasn't turned up here. So I am writing another one, which won't be nearly as entertaining.
I am enjoying this CD very much. The only tracks that truly bite are those by Sufjan Stevens, Charlotte Gainsbourg and Jack Johnson. I am glad I bought this CD. It is much better than CATS.
Free Music Review: Nice take on Dylan's tunes
Hit: 4 Stars
I'm a huge Dylan fan, but have never liked the tributes and covers of his stuff. I'd always rather hear the originals. However, this collection really seems to nail it in a way that's hard to describe. Suffice it to say that I found most tracks to be interestingly interpreted and a few positively outstanding (When the Ship Comes In). I've really enjoyed the collection.
