A great list published back in April 2009.
I thought it might be a good idea to share this list & embed audio/video from youtube.
As it is a rather long list… I plan to split it up into 5 separate posts… this is part 1.
50. Cowboy Junkies – “If You Gotta Go, Go Now”
Continue reading The Best Bob Dylan Covers according to Paste Magazine (Video & Audio) part1
I have collected 7 of what I consider to be the best Bob Dylan interpretations from 2015. And just to make it clear (for the n’th time) these are not better than the originals, I just like how they make us listen to familiar songs in a different way. They are also testament to the songs considerable strength, they work with other artists than Dylan himself.
By the way, and I normally don’t do this, that Forever Young version from the British talent show was bad!
7. The War on Drugs – Tangled Up In Blue:
As 2015 draws to a close, it’s time to look back on the last 12 months in music and as tradition goes, this involves the unveiling of our 25 Best Albums Of The Year.
– as always, it has been a struggle, we have fought and bled and finally agreed on the 25 best records of 2015. The ones we’ve played most, that has gotten us most excited or are just too good to ignore. We, as you can see, listen most to music in the, so called, roots oriented genres. However, we do listen to all kinds of music, it’s just that there aren’t that many good albums (in our views) in the other “genres” this year.
What did we get wrong? What did we miss? Well, nothing of course, this is THE list. No, just kidding, this is our view of the year in music, and as we have said many times before, we only write about the stuff we like and we can not reach everything.
When we read about music, we listen to the music we read about. A good red wine in the glass, or a good cup of coffee and the music playing in the background. The artist’s catalogue (and bootlegs) should be available to us, so that when we read about a concert or a record, we can listen to exactly that music when reading. It is not always possible, but very often it is. We need to set the mood.
We don’t look at the year of release when we buy music books, but we do buy interesting new releases.
We’ve plowed through about 40 books about music this year between us, most of them old books about music history (blues, country or certain albums), these are The Five Best Music Books of 2015:
