Expecting Rain

Geoff, I fear I must agree with you, although Reg Meuross has heard an unedited tape of his mate Pete Townsend's 'Corrina Corrina' and reckons its great but then
1) It's not really a Dylan song, is it?
2) Would you pick a strawberry out of a dog turd and eat it?

Well, ain't this something. The lovely Avett Brothers added some additional tracks to Johnny Cash's last recordings when they were working with Rick Ruben, and one of these is now being added to The Chimes of Freedom tribute. The entire thing will be available for listening online for 24 hours.

(The Avett Brothers next release due to be released sometime in the first half of 20!2 will again be produced by RR)

Bob Dylan's doing "Chimes Of Freedom". The old version or a new one?

I fail to see the problem.

One Too Many Mornings sounds great to me. They are using the original Cash/Dylan track with Scott on banjo, Seth taking the second verse and sharing a line in the third, and then some really nice harmonies with all of them on the last chorus.

there's loads of cracking tracks on this! It's far better than i thought it'd be!

check out Betty LaVette's 'Most of the Time'. It's great!

Miley Cyrus actually does quite a respectable job...

Yeah, not as annoying as I thought it'd be. She doesn't sound a damn thing like she does on her other stuff.

I'm actually really enjoying this, i usually dont enjoy Bob covers so much but there are some crackers on this... I may have to purchase it

Taj Mahal is great!

Is Sting serious there, or is he joking? It's horrible!

argh, Sting changed the lyric from 'north country fair' to 'north country farm' & it sounds odd.

I'm digging Patti Smith's Drifter's Escape.

^ i was just about to post the same thing

Corrina, Corrina sounds great, despite the semantic debate.

What debate?

Have you seen this video:

Diana Krall (I can't believe she's almost 50) brought out the sadness of "Simple Twist of Fate" nicely.

whether it's technically a Dylan cover or just a cover of a traditional that Dylan had done...

listening to Twist right now, lovely, as was Wheel.

oh, i hadn't seen that video, thanks!

First impression...

1. Cash/Dylan/Avett Brothers

16. The Airbone Toxic Event (not bad)
17. Sting (I like this one)
18. Mark Knopfler
24. Billy Bragg
28. Jackson Browne
29. Joan Baez
35. Adele
42. Flogging Molly
58. Carolina Chocolate Drops
59. Taj Mahal
64. An interesting "John Brown" by State Radio
70. Evan Rachel Wood

4. Rise Against
10. Brett Dennen
14. Silversun Pickups

that arrangement could work on Glee!

I don't think they'd use a song like that in Glee. It's too subtle and nuanced for that show.

My favorite so far is Knopfler's Restless Farewell.

Song to Woody was ruined.
