Hit: 1 Stars
"Theme Time Radio Hour" would have faded away after the first 4 or 5 episodes, if it weren't for it being "BOB FRIGGIN' DYLAN" who is reading someone else's commentaries on someone else's record selections. And they're even managing to embarrass Dylan by what they write. Imagine--on the "Father" show alone (season 1, episode 7), there are FOUR factual errors that no one even bothered to check, much less correct (don't just take my word for it--download it from somewhere and listen yourself).
Now, don't get me wrong--the music here is fine, if not the best that one could find. Hey, I'm a record collector with over 200,000 discs in my collection, so I'm a bit cloyed by a lot of stuff. But if you want a good overview of American music, this is NOT it. Or if you want anything that is "Dylanesque" in the least, this is ALSO not it. This is, "let's put Bob's name on a bunch of stuff we can license cheap, and see how much money we can make in the process."
First, shame on you, Bob, for allowing your good name and persona to have been used by the creators of this melee. Second, shame on someone for trying to boil down 50 hours of scattershot music into something that someone would dare to call any type of introduction to music--much less an overview of 20th century culture--(both monickers which have been applied [elsewhere, thank goodness] to it), and then stamping Dylan's name on it to sell it.
Bob, if you're listening, DON'T let yourself be screwed further by a THIRD (shudder) season of this show. I've bought everything you've ever released, and the show (as well as this set) has lowered my opinion of you almost irreparably. And you, music lover, if you're looking for a good overview of American roots music, check out practically ANYTHING on the Document label...or Yazoo, or Folkways, or...or just buy a few Dylan albums and go from there...but give this pale pastiche a pass.
